HM-Spolcyc Joins the Weapon Roster
KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME added HM-Spolcyc on September 14, 2026. Akatsuki Games identifies it as a new 5-star Hammer released alongside the latest version of Suited.
| Weapon detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Name | HM-Spolcyc |
| Rarity | 5-star |
| Weapon type | Hammer |
| Release date | September 14, 2026 |
| Related character | [Unorthodox Pursuit] Suited |
| Anniversary context | Released during the KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME 1st Anniversary celebration |
The weapon release is directly paired with [Unorthodox Pursuit] Suited. Her official character listing in the announcement identifies Hammer as her optimal weapon type, placing HM-Spolcyc alongside a new Suited form built around that weapon category.
Suited Returns With the Power of Kaiju A
The September 14 release gives Suited a new 5-star form called [Unorthodox Pursuit]. This version draws power from Dimensional Identified Kaiju A and arrives at the same time as HM-Spolcyc.
Suited now wears a prosthetic eye made from a uniorgan taken from Kaiju A. The resulting cell corruption has visibly affected her body, including changing her hair color. Akatsuki Games describes the process as placing a significant physical strain on her.
The new form therefore connects HM-Spolcyc to one of the anniversary period's character releases rather than introducing the Hammer as an isolated equipment addition.
Weapon and Character Launch Together
The September 14 announcement presents the new character and weapon together:
- 5-star [Unorthodox Pursuit] Suited joins as a new playable character.
- Her listed optimal weapon category is Hammer.
- 5-star HM-Spolcyc joins the weapon roster as a Hammer.
- An official Pickup Character Trailer showcases the new Suited release.
This pairing makes the Hammer one of the main equipment additions attached to the latest 1st Anniversary character rollout.
Note: The public September 14 launch announcement confirms HM-Spolcyc's rarity and weapon type. It does not provide a complete numeric stat and effect table for the weapon.
HM-Spolcyc Arrives During the 1st Anniversary
The weapon launch is part of the continuing KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME 1st Anniversary period. The same September 14 announcement also introduced [Unorthodox Pursuit] Suited and promoted additional anniversary activity tied to the wider Kaiju No. 8 franchise.
The update coincides with the release period for the original short anime Narumi's Week at Work. A special login bonus connected to the second episode, The Vice-Captain's Troubles, is available through September 26 at 3:59 AM JST.
That login campaign is separate from HM-Spolcyc itself, but both are part of the same September 14 anniversary announcement and content cycle.
An Official Suited Trailer Shows the New Release
Akatsuki Games published a dedicated Pickup Character Trailer for [Unorthodox Pursuit] Suited as part of the launch. The trailer accompanies the new character and HM-Spolcyc release and serves as the main official video for this portion of the anniversary update.
KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME remains available through the App Store, Google Play and Steam, with the September 14 content added to the live version of the game.
