was an animation studio in Japan under the ownership of Bandai Namco Filmworks. It was launched on March 1, 2019, to manage the transfer of multiple assets from Xebec, an IG Port subsidiary, after Xebec ceased operations that same year. After operating for five years, Sunrise Beyond was dissolved on April 1, 2024, and merged into Bandai Namco Filmworks.

History

On November 22, 2018, due to substantial financial losses, IG Port declared its intention to hand over Xebec's production activities to Sunrise, a company under Bandai Namco Holdings. Following this decision, a letter of intent was signed between the two firms on March 11, 2019, shortly after Sunrise Beyond was founded.[1] Sunrise publicly announced the establishment of Sunrise Beyond on March 5, 2019, retroactive to four days prior. The Xebec zwei division was excluded from this transition and instead transferred to Production I.G, where it was renamed I.G zwei.[2] On January 9, 2024, it was revealed by Bandai Namco Filmworks that Sunrise Beyond would be dissolved effective April 1.[3]
