5pb. Games opened an official website for a video game adaptation of the anime New Game! on Thursday. The game, titled New Game! -The Challenge Stage!-, ships on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on January 26.

The game centers on the anime's protagonist, Aoba Suzukaze, a month after beginning her new job at game company, Eaglejump. Although she's gradually adjusting to the working world, there are still many things to learn.

In addition to the "adventure" portion, the game will also have a "raising" portion where players can raise Aoba's parameters. These parameters will affect her route during the second half of the story, which will focus on Aoba's adventures with her new friends during a company field trip.

The game will retail for 7,300 yen (about US$71) for the standard edition or 10,300 yen (US$101) for the limited edition.
