AFK Journey, which is the multi-award-winning fantasy RPG sequel to AFK Arena, will once again be hosting another collaboration event with a popular Japanese IP, and this time it will be with Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
Specific details have yet to be announced, but the collaboration will start on 1st May 2026 and will see the anime and manga series “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” brought to the game for the first time with in-universe storyline and quests. Previous collaborations have seen characters become playable, and quests related to those characters within the AFK Journey universe, so the same is expected with this one.
