Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Game's 'Special Announcement' is Sayaka Debut (Updated)
posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The official website for the smartphone role-playing game Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Gaiden revealed on Friday that Sayaka Miki is joining the game starting on January 22. The site had teased earlier this week that it would make a "special announcement" on Friday via a countdown site. Aniplex is streaming a character introduction video for Sayaka. (Note: The official linked video is region-locked to Japan, a region-free version is below.)
The game's story, a spinoff of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime, takes place in the burgeoning city of Kamihama. Guided by a strange power, magical girls gather in this town and battle with a new power drawn from witches. Iroha Tamaki arrives in this town and joins other magical girls to search for her missing younger sister Ui. Before long, Homura Akemi also arrives in the town. "If I can understand the mystery of this town, maybe I can save Kaname."
The new character Iroha Tamaki (voiced by Momo Asakura) becomes a magical girl with a wish to save her sister from illness. Madoka Kaname (again voiced by Aoi Yūki) also arrives in Kamihama to search for her missing friend Homura.
The game launched for iOS and Android devices on August 22.
