Rising Costs & Risky Projects put Wit Studio Under Financial Strain

Spy x Family may look like a guaranteed hit, but behind the scenes, Wit Studio is under financial strain. Despite a 7.1% rise in sales to 4.5 billion yen (~$30 million USD) in its fiscal year ending May 2025, the studio posted losses of 170 million yen (~$1.15 million USD), a sharp reversal from last year’s 271 million yen profit. Rising costs and riskier projects, such as True Samurai Legend Yaiba, Moonrise, and Suicide Squad Isekai, failed to match the draw of hits like Attack on Titan. With Spy x Family season 3 set to debut this October and an ambitious One Piece remake in production, Wit faces high stakes. Both projects could stabilize the studio or deepen its precarious finances.
