The Scissor Seven universe is about to get a lot bigger. At BilibiliWorld 2026 today, AHAVERSE \u2014 the studio behind the franchise \u2014 unveiled three major new projects at once: a theatrical feature film, a new animated spin-off series called HEIBAI, and expanded plans for the Shadow Clash mobile game. The series that became the first Chinese original animation to debut as a Netflix Original<\/strong> now has its most ambitious slate yet.<\/p>\n

Scissor Seven: The Movie \u2014 Into the Heart of Xuanwu (2028)<\/h2>\n

The headline announcement is a standalone theatrical film, currently in production and targeting a global theatrical release in 2028<\/strong>. The movie takes Seven into Xuanwu \u2014 the mysterious martial arts kingdom where he originally came from \u2014 and explores the culture, politics and power struggles that shaped his world long before the events of the series.<\/p>\n

AHAVERSE said in an exclusive interview with Screen Rant<\/a> that the film “has been designed as a standalone adventure, so audiences who are discovering Scissor Seven for the first time can enjoy it without having seen the animated series.” New characters join returning favourites, and the studio says the movie maintains the series’ signature blend of comedy, action and emotional storytelling \u2014 just at cinematic scale.<\/p>\n

HEIBAI \u2014 A New Animated Series Set 25 Years Earlier<\/h2>\n

Alongside the film, AHAVERSE announced HEIBAI<\/strong>, an animated spin-off based on one of China’s most popular official Scissor Seven comics. Rather than following Seven, HEIBAI centres on two new protagonists \u2014 Mo Lang and Bai Qi \u2014 two characters with contrasting personalities set on very different journeys.<\/p>\n

The series is set roughly 25 years before Scissor Seven, in an era of ancient legends and dangerous encounters. Despite the timeline, AHAVERSE is calling it a spin-off rather than a prequel, and say it is fully accessible to newcomers. HEIBAI is scheduled to premiere in China in Q1 2027<\/strong>; international release details are to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the announcement is Scissor Seven: Shadow Clash<\/strong>, the franchise’s first official action-adventure mobile game, developed in partnership with SHAREFUN studio. The game promises original stories beyond anything in the animated series. A China launch is planned for Q4 2026<\/strong>, with global release details to follow.<\/p>\n
