Oshi no Ko Puzzle Game Is Coming to Smartphones in Japan
Shueisha has announced via the Oshi no Ko anime X account that there will be a new puzzle game based on the same franchise coming to smartphones in Japan. The company has also set up a new X account dedicated to the mobile game. Details about the new mobile puzzle game are still very scarce as of the initial reveal. Shueisha has not even announced the game's full title yet. The company only noted that the game is still under development, and it will gradually publish more information in the near future. Oshi no Ko originated as a manga launched in Shueisha's Jump magazines in 2020, which has also concluded around the end of 2024. The franchise made a major breakthrough with an anime adaptation that launched in 2023, with its third season also in the works as of early 2025. While there is also a growing number of adaptations based on the title, such as a live-action series, the newly announced mobile puzzle game will be the first-ever game adaptation dedicated to the franchise. Prior to this announcement, Oshi no Ko only appeared via crossover DLC and events in other existing games. Some of the examples included Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis in September 2023 and The Idolmaster: Shiny Colors in July 2023 and August 2024. Bandai Namco also released an Oshi no Ko-themed DLC pack for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival in November 2024, and the latter is still purchasable as of February 2025. The official Oshi no Ko puzzle game will be available on smartphones in Japan. Shueisha will announce more details about the mobile game, including its full title and release window, at a later time.
