Bandai Namco announced its new Tamagotchi Paradise model, and the virtual pet will debut in Japan on July 12, 2025. It will appear worldwide as well, though the English site says the release date will vary. The device will be a part of a World Tamagotchi Tour that includes appearances at MCM London between May 23-25, 2025, followed by additional appearances at events like San Diego Comic Con, Japan Expo in Paris, Tokyo Toy Show, and CCXP Mexico. The US branch of Amazon doesn’t have listings for it live yet, but Amazon Japan shows the Blue Water, Pink Land, and Purple Sky variants already. 

Early comics and reports noted the unique points this time would involve a view of a whole planet, a crank that lets you zoom in on characters in places, and the ability to shape evolution based on where the creature grows up in addition to what they eat. The other details confirmed there are 12 species types and over 50 characters total divided into them. Breeding remains a gameplay element, which affects how characters look when grown up as they take traits from both parents, and the new devices can connect to each other by taking the lid off the top to try and get different pets to marry and produce a new egg. 

Bandai Namco also mentioned the Tamagotchi Paradise virtual pet will interact with Lab Tamas at stores and use Tama Lab Stickers. The stickers include Tama Cell details. The Lab Tamas let people connect a device for items or just play minigames.

Here’s how the devices and Japanese packaging look:

As for the World Tamagotchi Tour, that will involve opportunities to test out and see devices. Bandai Namco also mentioned it will sell new virtual pets and collectibles at these events, like the Original Tamagotchi Mametchi Robot variant, but availability will depend on launch dates and other factors. For the new model, there will be an exclusive Tama Lab eight-digit lab code and sticker for Mongatchi. 

The Tamagotchi Paradise will debut in Japan on July 12, 2025, and the new virtual pet will appear worldwide in 2025 as well.

In the Comic Book Day 2025 free Tamagotchi promotional comic, Bandai Namco teased a new Tamagotchi Paradise model, and now we have a date for a possible full reveal of the virtual pet. The official site updated to share a reveal for May 21, 2025. It also mentioned that is when it will be announced in Japan, which means we may learn about it on May 20, 2025 in the US. 

While new Tamagotchi Paradise information isn’t available yet, an update on the virtual pet did appear on the site alongside this reveal. Previously, that comic teasing the new unit only appeared physically for those who took part in Comic Book Day 2025. Now the full comic is available online. Going to the official site allows someone to read about Tamagotchi Planet, and how environments and food influence their evolutionary process. It also offered a clearer look at the three new characters Meowtchi, Irukatchi, and Horohotchi. The comic also showed this design will feature a crank that allows someone to zoom in and out on a planet.

Though this new Tamagotchi model is still a mystery, we did recently see some other announcements. Bandai Namco brought the Tamagotchi Connection device back. There is also a Snoopy Tamagotchi Nano model showing up this year in Japan.

We’ll learn more about the new Tamagotchi Paradise model in Japan on May 21, 2025.

During Free Comic Book Day 2025, Bandai Namco shared a Tamagotchi Paradise Episode 0 comic that teased new characters and a new model. The new system will resemble the existing one, however it will have a crank on the upper right side that allows someone to zoom in to look at characters. As for the newcomers, six were confirmed so far. Part of the comic can be viewed online now, with the next part coming on May 16, 2025. 

The new system shows up on the front cover of the comic, as do the new characters. The focus of the new model shown in Tamagotchi Paradise 0 is on new Tamagotchi Planet itself. Turning the crank on it will let someone zoom in and see the characters living in a certain area. The comic focuses on a new baby that hatched and is being watched by someone zooming in on the device. We then see the progression of three possible outcomes for the character. It seems care and biome affects development, since one in the water could grow fins, one on land eating meat could get legs, and one in the sky eating chicken grows wings.

The ensuing pages showed the new Tamagotchi characters. Those three babies followed earlier into the comic turn into the Land Roar Soecies Meowtchi, the Water Glide Species Irukatchi, and the Sky Flap Species Horhotchi. Bandai Namco also used the comic to break down some other characters who will appear in those biomes. The two additional land-types are returning characters Mametchi and Mimitchi, which are both Land Toddle Species. Irukatchi is ed by two new characters called Axolopatchi and Kawazutchi, which are both Water Leap Species. The other two sky types shown are the new Mongatchi Sky Flap Species, which looks like a flying squirrel, and the returning Kuchipatchi as a Sky Chirp Species. 
Here are some photos of the comic. One shows additional new characters, but those aren’t named yet.

There’s no word yet on when we’ll see the new Tamagotchi model showcased in the Free Comic Book Day 2025 comic. The last variant was the Tamagotchi Uni.
