A new magical girl mobile game, titled Junketsu no Mahou Shoujo -Untitled Magical Girl-, from Jiro Ishii is in the works. This is the latest project for the 428: Shibuya Scramble creator who also heads his own Storytelling company.
So-Cayenne Mobile Entertainment is in charge of developing this mobile game. It will feature characters from all three arcs that have been featured on the franchise’s YouTube channel. The characters include Konomi Minamino from the 1980s era-based Starry Magical Girls, Hikaru Nishiwaki from the 1990s’ Wing Magical Girls, and Yuna Tojo from the 2000s’ Flowery Magical Girls.
Sparkleling and Storytelling published an announcement trailer for the Untitled Magical Girl mobile game. The trailer does have English subtitles for the title’s theme song. However, no information has come out on whether the game will release outside Japan or not.
