What's next for GLITCH after The Amazing Digital Circus's finale? A dark, Wreck-It Ralph-style take on video games starring Helluva Boss, One Piece, and Smiling Friends headliners

What should I watch after The Amazing Digital Circus?

Hey, great question, even though there's no perfect way to answer it. The story of Pomni, Jax, Caine and the rest is unlike anything else on these here interwebs, so when the finale debuts in theaters this June 4, we can't guarantee you a perfect substitute for what you'll be missing. But what we can tell you about is developer GLITCH's next project - set in a very different kind of inescapable digital world.

First conceived in 2009, Gameoverse is the story of Kitt and Kaboodle, two reality-hopping video game characters with a counterintuitive mission: save the realities of various video games by letting the villain win. The idea comes from streamer/animator RubberRoss (AKA Ross O'Donovan), and originally aired as a pilot on his YouTube page in 2013. Over a decade later, though, RubberRoss's Wreck-It-Ralph-style, virtual-post-apocalyptic thriller is getting the GLITCH treatment.

And boy, is it bringing guests.

Populating the world of Gameoverse is a who's who of indie animation voice actors - names like Helluva Boss's Loona. AKA Erica Lindbeck; The Amazing Digital Circus's Gloink Queen, Elsie Lovelock; and my personal favorite, Smiling Friends' own Pim, Michael Cusack. Oh, and did I forget to mention? Also along for the ride is none other than Chris Sabat himself, One Piece's Zoro in the (animated) flesh.

Again, we're not gonna pretend that Gamoverse is going to fill the weird hole that ADC's finale is going to leave in our hearts in the next couple of weeks (do not google ADC weird hole), but projects like this one - and the success of GLITCH in general - is a pretty cool sign for us freaks out there that independent animation is alive and well.

Gameoverse drops May 15, 2026. Check out the trailer for it here:
