With its dark subversion of the magical girl genre, there’s no doubt that Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been one of the most impactful anime of the last decade. However, despite its cultural relevance, it has not been very well represented in the world of video games. But that’s about to change, as a new mobile title based on this iconic franchise has just been announced.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be released in 2024
The announcement was made through a new official account of Twitterwhich reveals that this new video game will be titled Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Exedra Magic. It is described as an “application”, which implies that this will be a video game for mobile devices. This makes a lot of sense, since this type of title is becoming increasingly popular among anime adaptations, especially thanks to the use of “Gacha” mechanics. Along with the announcement of Magia Exedra, two incredible illustrations made by Ume Aokithe designer of the iconic characters of this franchise.
Unfortunately, for now we don’t know much more about Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra. The only thing that was confirmed is that its official launch is scheduled for 2024 and that it is being developed by two studios: PokeLabo and f4samurai. Both are of Japanese origin and have a lot of experience developing and maintaining mobile video games for companies such as Sega Sammy. So Magia Exedra is definitely in good hands and based on the excellent official artwork, we can assume that this new game will have some type of action gameplay that utilizes the darker aspects of this story. Although we wouldn’t be surprised if it has a strong “gacha” element to obtain new characters.
One of the most curious aspects about Magia Exedra can be found at the end of the Official sitewhere you can see a picture of a stranger Kyubey green in front of a mysterious door. In case you don’t remember, the being known as Kyubey is one of the most infamous characters in all of Madoka Magica, since he is the one who gives these magical girls their powers and usually plays the role of main antagonist in almost the entire franchise. But the best-known Kyubey is white, so everyone is wondering what’s so special about this new variant.
The news of the development of this new video game was well received by Madoka Magica fans, since it seems that they were waiting for a new adaptation of this classic anime. In places like Twitter or Otakomu We can find encouraging comments such as: «Oh how early! It’s in less than a year!, “I’m very curious to see what kind of game it will be.”, “It looks like action. Will it be in 3D?”and “Is there a green Kyubey?!”, in reference to the new creature that has already caught the attention of the entire community. We already want to see a little gameplay to know exactly what type of game it will be. In the meantime, we will keep you informed about it here on ANMO Sugoi.
