Timeline Overview

This timeline tracks VIVINOS' Zombie Stage (ZOMST) — an animated Alien Stage AU on YouTube, not Roblox — across two axes: real-world release order and in-universe tournament progression inferred from the Teaser PV and Round 1. Release dates update when official uploads publish; story ordering separates confirmed events from speculation.

Franchise Milestones (August 2026)

At Anime Expo 2026 (July 3, 2026), VIVINOS and QMENG announced that the parent franchise Alien Stage is entering its largest expansion phase. An Alien Stage anime series is now in production — the franchise's first full television adaptation — though studio, staff, cast, and release window remain unannounced. A new teaser visual was shared via official social channels (@Anime_ALNST), exceeding 3.8 million views.

The same event confirmed the 3D LIVE ALIEN STAGE Museum in 2372 world tour for 2027, organized by Frontier Works with stops in Seoul, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. A Tokyo showcase runs October 30 – November 1, 2026 at Shinagawa Stellar Ball (3DCG cast: Sua, Ivan, Luka). Media coverage positioned Zombie Stage's June 26 premiere as the immediate precursor to these announcements.

None of these announcements change ZOMST's AU status or imply that Zombie Stage will receive a simultaneous anime adaptation. Round 2 and Grand Finale remain YouTube-first releases — see Round 2 preview and Anime Expo 2026 guide for details.

In-Universe Tournament Order

Teaser bracket graphics imply sequential tournament nights: Round 1 occurs first (Mizi/Sua), Round 2 follows (Ivan/Till), Grand Finale last (Luka). Round 1 episode content supports Round 1 as earliest shown bout with full narrative coverage.

Hyuna infiltration scenes in the teaser may occur before, during, or parallel to Round 1 events — editing montage avoids strict timestamp alignment. Parallel thread analysis lives on Hyuna's profile and plot overview with speculation labeled.

Round 1 Story Events (Confirmed)

Within Round 1 episode boundaries: broadcast opens; Mizi performs Sweet Scar; chase begins; Sua pursues; human audience reacts; Sua catches Mizi in horror climax. Post-climax status for Mizi unresolved pending future episodes.
