Now that Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is live, Aniplex revealed the first banner and event in the game features original anime stars Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi. The gacha banner will be available until April 10, 2025. There’s no end date for the first event.

The first banner features two five-star Kiokus. One is Lux Magica: Madoka Kaname, and the other is Concentrated Missile Fire: Homura Akemi. Aniplex didn’t mention what the pity rate system is like in the game. However, it did note that this will follow typical gacha game elements by providing a guaranteed four-star or higher Kioku after every 10 draws. 

As for the Madoka and Homura event, it is an alternate universe tale. The “what-if” story is called “Steady Steps Forward: Magical Girl Dreams.” It is a more casual tale, with the official art showing the two heroines in their school uniforms as they walk through the city together. You do need to finish “The Fourth Window of Memory [Candy Witch] Boss” in order to unlock and be able to play through it. However, since there’s no end date, it will be possible to take your time unlocking it.

Here are the official images for the first Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra Madoka and Homura banner and event:

As a reminder, Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is a turn-based RPG based on multiple series. In addition to characters and storylines based on the original anime and manga, there are ones from the Magia Record mobile game and anime. 

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is available now on PCs and mobile devices, and the Madoka and Homura banner and event are live for all players. That banner ends on April 10, 2025. The anime based on the original series is available on Crunchyroll, and Yen Press handled the manga.

Aniplex released a new gameplay trailer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra ahead of its debut, and it covers opening footage including a tutorial fight involving Homura. It spends just under five minutes highlighting what the initial moments in the new experience will look and feel like. It also offers an idea of how the original anime influenced the title.

This is directly taken from the start of a new game, so the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra gameplay trailer begins with the graphics quality being set. For the purposes of the example, it’s the “high quality” option. It also confirms we will need to 2.1GB of assets before we can start playing. In the introduction, there’s a callback to the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica, as we see Homura about to fight Walpurgisnacht on her own. However, she isn’t really alone. Madoka is there and running to try and reach her. This is when actual gameplay begins, as someone will control the character at this part. As she reaches the top of the building, Madoka and Kyubey see Homura in the fight.

It’s at this point that an actual Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra battle tutorial begins. Homura faces Walpurgisnacht, and we’ll control her during it to learn how to play. This highlights the turn-based battle system and types of abilities available. 

Here’s the full Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra opening gameplay trailer showing Madoka, Homura, and Kyubey.

Prior to this latest Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra gameplay trailer, peeks at actual footage were limited to brief moments in character teasers. During those videos, we typically get to see the character in a fight and about to use a special attack. As such, we never really got a chance to see the UI in action or any story segments. 

The last one of those trailers involved Sana Futaba from Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story. We got to see how her unique wish influenced her magical girl powers. As such, the focus is on her defending and attacking with her shield. 

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra will come to the PC and mobile devices on March 27, 2025. The anime based on the original series is available on Crunchyroll, and Yen Press handled the manga.

Aniplex confirmed yet another returning magical girl will be a playable character in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, as Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story anime’s Sana Futaba will appear in the game. Pre-registrations also ed 900,000, which means the fan kit now includes A-Q, Name, and Nighthawk. 

The announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer that hints at what it will be like to use Sana Futaba in-battle in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra. In her original appearance, she wished she would be ignored and invisible. As such, a lot of her abilities are defensive. We see her summon a shield, which she uses to hide and attack in the footage. 

Aniplex also confirmed that Yui Ogura will return as the character in the game. She’s also known as the voice of March 7th in Honkai: Star Rail, Shiroko Sunaookami in Blue Archive, Feri Al-Fayed in Trails Through Daybreak, and Shiori in Rent-a-Girlfriend. During the video, we hear her talk about Iroha, Ai, and her feelings toward them.

Ren Isuzu, a magical girl who appeared in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Record and the anime and manga inspired by it, will also be in the Magia Exedra game as a playable character. There’s a new trailer briefly looking at her in the title. In addition, the game now ed 600,000 pre-registrations, which means a new tier of rewards ended up unlocked.

Ren is voiced by Yuka Ozaki, who also played her in in the previous game. She’s always been known for being quite shy, which was exacerbated by bullying. She ended up making a contract and becoming a magical girl as a result of a tragic situation caused by being pushed to the edge of despair. 

Here’s the Ren Isuzu Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Record character trailer:

Prior to this update, we’d unlocked 3,000 Magica Stones, a Door to a New Kioku five-star Portrait, and a five-star Lux Magica Madoka Kaname Kioku. The latest unlock at 600,000 preregistrations means we’ll also get two Magia Keys and a fan kit for Iroha Tamaki, Tsuruno Yui, and Yachiyo Nanami. The 700,000 tier adds a Kyoko Sakura, Mami Tomoe, and Sayaka Miki fan kit and three more Magia Keys. The 800,000 tier involves five Magia Keys and a fan kit for Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname. 

Here are many of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra character trailers we’ve seen so far:

There’s a double dose of new Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra news, as preregistration for the game opened and another character as confirmed. Folks can sign up to commit to playing now ahead of its 2025 debut. We can also see how Yui Tsuruno looks in the game.

On Steam, someone can only wishlist the new Puella Magi Madoka Magica game, but the App Store and Google Play preregistration pages are live. As expected for a free-to-play gacha game, there are reward tiers for potential players g up. Since the game already ed 200,000 preregistrations, everyone gets a Door to a New Kioku five-star portrait to use in-game and 1,000 Magica Stones. At the 300,000 and 400,000 milestones, another 1,000 Magica Stones will be doled out again, bringing the total to 3,000 overall. If 500,000 people sign up, everyone gets a five-star Madoka Kaname Lux Magica Kioku.

Next, here’s the Yui Tsuruno Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra character trailer. She first debuted in Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magica Side Story game and anime. As she wished to win the lottery when she became a magical girl, she’s known for being incredibly lucky. She uses her fans and fire to attack in her brief trailer.

Prior to preregistrations opening and the game being delayed, Aniplex spent a lot of time focusing on playable characters. In addition to returning characters from the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica, there will be ones from spin-off entries. One is the former mobile game-exclusive heroine Ashley Taylor. 

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will come to PCs and mobile devices in Spring 2025, and preregistration is open now. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll. Yen Press handled much of the manga outside Japan.

People who want to play Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will have to wait longer until the game is finally made available. Aniplex published a new statement in both Japanese and English that it has delayed the release of Magia Exedra from 2024 to Spring 2025.

Aniplex also noted that it delayed the Magia Exedra release because it wanted to ensure a better quality for the game when it eventually came out. This is a rather common reason Japanese publishers mentioned when they delayed their game releases. But with the release date still yet to be confirmed less than a month and a half until the end of 2024, there have been uncertainties on whether Aniplex could release the game within the initial 2024 window.

Aniplex first revealed Magia Exedra in April 2024. It is slated to replace Magia Record, which had already shut down in Japan in July 2024. The company later revealed that it will also release Magia Exedra simultaneously worldwide in English with a PC release on Steam in addition to mobile devices.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available worldwide for iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as PC via Steam, in Spring 2025. The seasonal window would usually run between March and May 2025.

Another magical girl from the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica is confirmed as a playable character in Madoka Magica Magia Exedra: Sayaka Miki. She’ll also be able to be recruited when the game launches in 2024. Ahead of that, there’s a very brief teaser trailer showing how she works in-game.

Sayaka, like Madoka, isn’t a magical girl when the original anime begins. She’s Madoka Kaname’s best friend and meets Mami Tomoe, another magical girl, alongside her. She decides to sign a contract for the sake of a boy she has a crush on. As a result of that, she gains the ability to use swords to fight, and her trailer from the game shows her using one to attack an enemy.

Eri Kitamura is also confirmed as the Sayaka Miki voice actress for Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, so she’ll be returning yet again to play the character in the game. In addition to the original anime, she’s done so for the movies, games like Madoka Magica Portable, and crossover events in other games. People may also recognize her as the voice of Keqing in Genshin Impact, Juri in Street Fighter, and Nemona in the Pokemon anime. 

While Sayaka is one of the more familiar series staples, we’ve seen plenty of unexpected confirmations for this free-to-play game too. For example, Ashley Taylor will be a part of the roster. She debuted in Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story, rather than one of the anime or manga off-shoots. 

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available for mobile devices and the PC in Japanese and English via Steam in 2024.

The next Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra character trailer appeared, and this time it focuses on Ashley Taylor. She may be unfamiliar to some, as she previously only appeared in Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story. 

Sally Amaki voices Ashley in both Japanese and English, and the latest trailers show how she sounds in each language. The video focuses on a brief attack. We get to see her throw around Kumanosuke, her teddy bear, as she fights against witches. As her name suggests, she’s from the United States. Because she loved Japanese culture, she headed to Japan, and along the way she became a magical girl.

Here’s the English trailer for Ashley Taylor in Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra:

And here’s the Japanese one: 

Many of the other characters we’ve seen announced for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra have been ones who are more immediately recognizable. For example, we saw a video focused on Homura Akemi at the beginning of August 2024. That was followed by ones showing off Mami Tomoe and Yachiyo Nanami. 

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available for mobile devices and the PC in Japanese and English via Steam in 2024.

There are now two new Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra character trailers to watch, this time for the iconic Mami Tomoe and the spin-off character Yachiyo Nanami. Both will be playable units when the mobile and PC game eventually appears, and a key visual confirmed many of their allies will them.

First, here’s the Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra Mami Tomoe trailer. She debuted in the original Madoka Magica anime series. She’s a well-established magical girl, and she’s known for attacks that involve all sorts of guns. This is preserved here, and we also see her use the move that involves her turning her ribbon into a huge cannon.

Next, here’s the trailer for Yachiyo Nanami in Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra. She ends up becoming one of Iroha’s allies in the Magia Record spin-off. However, due to the nature of her abilities, she started out as the sort of person who worked alone.

This isn’t the only recent trailer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra, as another two major ones appeared ahead of the looks at Mami and Yachiyo. One was a general teaser that focused on characters like Madoka Kaname and Iroha Tamaki. Then, we got one that focused entirely on Homura Akemi and her gameplay.

The new piece of key art also teased a number of Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra characters who will appear in the game. In addition to Madoka, Homura, Mami, and Yachiyo, we also see Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, Nagisa Momoe, Tsuruno Yui, Sana Futaba, Felicia Mitsuki, and Ui Tamaki. This means the game mainly consists of characters from the original anime and Magia Record. 

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available on the PC via Steam and mobile devices.

Another Puella Magi Madoka Magica staple is confirmed as a playable Magia Exedra character, as we’ll be able to be Homura Akemi in the game as well. A first trailer appeared for her. Keep in mind though, it does involve some Madoka Magica Homura spoilers if you aren’t familiar with the anime and past games.

Editor’s Note: There are some Homura Akemi Puella Magi Madoka Magica spoilers in the Magia Exedra trailer below. o2n5f

The latest Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra trailer is more about establishing the character and showing one major attack than showing off a lot of her gameplay. It begins with Homura inside of a Witch’s Labyrinth. She asserts, “I can do it on my own, and I’ll do it over and over.” From there, we get to see an animation that looks like her summoning an attack in the series. She brings out a major rocket launcher, which she crouches on, that shoots an unseen opponent. All of the text references her actions in the original anime for the sake of Madoka.

The video then shows Homura’s official art and voice actress for the game. Chiwa Saito will play her in Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra. She also played her in the anime, games like Madoka Magica: Magia Record, and in other game crossovers involving the series. People may also recognize her as the voice of Jean in Genshin Impact, Changli in Wuthering Waves, Elaine in Trails Through Daybreak, Tamamo no Mae in the Fate/ series, and Aoi in Danganronpa.

While we’ve seen screenshots of Madoka Magica characters like Homura Akemi, Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura, and Mami Tomoe in parties before, Aniplex only confirmed Madoka Kaname and Iroha Tamaki in official trailers so far.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available on the PC via Steam and mobile devices.

Aniplex announced Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra will not only be on mobile devices, but the game will be on Steam for the PC in Japanese and English. The product page is live and lists a 2024 release window. 

The product listing confirmed some things we already knew about this Puella Magi Madoka Magica game. Madoka Magica Magia Exedra will be playable alone or with others either cooperatively or competitively. There will be in-app purchases.

Aniplex shared a new teaser trailer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra. It reveals a general gist of the story and gameplay system in the new mobile game, which is being worked on by Pokelabo and f4samurai.

The trailer reveals that the new game's storyline will revolve around the player collecting memories of the franchise's key characters in the form of light and giving them back to the mysterious girl who had lost all of her memories. The game will also feature the "Lightstand Theater" as a key location that will light up the memories amid darkness.

The new teaser trailer for Magia Exedra is available to view on Aniplex's Japanese YouTube channel. The video is also watchable in countries other than Japan.

Magia Exedra is slated to replace Magia Record, which launched in 2017. However, Aniplex would not get the new game ready for release by the time it shuts down the latter in July 2024. It will thus provide unique serial codes for Japanese Magia Record players to carry over their data to Magia Exedra via the offline archive app that will be available until October 14, 2024.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available for mobile devices in Japan in 2024.

Aniplex has announced that it will gradually close the Japanese releases of Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story in July 2024. The PC version that has been available on DMM Games will cease first on July 1, 2024. The iOS and Android mobile releases will follow suit at the end of the month on July 31, 2024. [Thanks, Gamer.]

The company added that it will temporarily publish an offline archive version until October 14, 2024. Players who have accessed the Japanese version of Magia Record will be able to review the content they have obtained during the game's lifespan.

The Japanese mobile release of Magia Record appeared first in August 2017. The PC version followed later on in April 2019. While Aniplex also released international versions of the game, none of them lasted as long as the Japanese release. The English version notably only lasted barely past a year from June 2019 until October 2020.

In its announcement, Aniplex also revealed that the entry Magia Exedra will replace Magia Record. Even though the company has yet to specify the new game's release date beyond the 2024 window, it teased that existing Magia Record players will be able to carry over some of their play data to the new game. The offline archive version of Magia Record will contain a unique serial code for each player, and they will be able to input it in Magia Exedra.

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story is available in Japan until July 1, 2024, for the PC version, and July 31, 2024, for the iOS and Android releases.

Aniplex announced that it will release a new Madoka Magica mobile app game in Japan in 2024. The new game will be known by its full title, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra.

Aniplex has also revealed the companies that are working on this title. Aniplex itself is handling the project planning, and it will also be the company that releases the game on the app stores. Pokelabo and f4samurai will work together to develop the game. However, Pokelabo will take a more central role as it will produce the game with 3D graphics. The same studio will also regularly manage the mobile game after it is released.

Pokelabo is most famous for working on Square Enix and Yoko Taro's mobile game SINoALICE, which had already ceased existing in Japan in mid-January 2024. However, Magia Exedra will not be the only active mobile game the company has in 2024. Pokelabo is also known for developing Assault Lily: Last Bullet, and it is working with So-net to release Assault Lily: Last Bullet W internationally on iOS and Android.

Meanwhile, f4samurai is also still busy handling Magia Record. While the earlier Madoka Magica mobile game has been no longer available in English since 2020, it is still actively ongoing in Japan as of April 2024.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra will be available for mobile devices in Japan in 2024.
