The announcement didn’t state whether the show was a TV series or a special, only featuring the words “On Air” in the reveal image.

Rough Translation: Thanks for your patience. We have a new anime announcement! The series is titled “Losorage Incited WIXOSS” (ロストレージインサイテッドウィクロス). We thank you for 3 years of WIXOSS! #WIXOSS

The WIXOSS trading card franchise first hit Japan in April 2014, alongside anime series Selector Infected WIXOSS. The sequel, Selector Spread WIXOSS, hit the airwaves in October of the same year. The most recent entry in the franchise, Selector Destructed WIXOSS, was a theatrical film that hit theaters in February.

In North America, Funimation holds the rights to the WIXOSS anime. The company currently offers the titles on their digital platform. They describe the series as:

Ruko is a teenage girl who just found one of these rare cards. Now, she can use her LRIG to battle in a strange, dark plane of existence. If she wins, her wishes will be granted—but what happens if she loses?
