The release date for Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra is March 27, 2025. This date was confirmed for a worldwide release across iOS, Android, and PC via Steam, following an announcement on March 8, 2025, after the game’s initial 2024 window was delayed to Spring 2025 for quality improvements. The developers, Pokelabo and f4samurai, along with publisher Aniplex, have been sharing updates, including character reveals and gameplay details, as the launch approaches.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra is a mobile and PC gacha RPG set in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica universe, developed by Pokelabo and f4samurai and published by Aniplex. It’s a spin-off that expands on the franchise’s dark magical girl narrative, blending new storytelling with familiar characters and themes.
The game follows a new protagonist, an amnesiac girl who wakes up in a mysterious “lighthouse” within a world called the “Boundary”—a liminal space where fragments of magical girls’ memories and worlds converge. She’s guided by Kyubey, the manipulative mascot of the series, who tasks her with restoring “lost records” by collecting “Magia”—the energy tied to magical girls’ emotions and fates. This involves exploring the Boundary, battling witches, and unraveling the lighthouse’s secrets, with the promise of regaining her own memories as the stakes rise.
Gameplay revolves around turn-based combat with teams of up to five magical girls, drawn from a roster spanning the entire Madoka Magica franchise—original series characters like Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi, plus others from spin-offs like Magia Record. Players collect these characters via a gacha system, customize them with Memoria cards (equippable items reflecting key moments), and deploy them in 3D battles against witches and their familiars. The combat emphasizes strategy through elemental affinities (e.g., light, dark, fire) and signature moves like Madoka’s arrow barrage or Mami’s Tiro Finale.
The story is framed as a “Magical Girl Multiverse,” integrating characters and settings from various timelines and spin-offs into a single narrative. It’s overseen by Gekidan Inu Curry, the creative duo behind the original series’ witch designs, ensuring the surreal, nightmarish aesthetic—think labyrinthine stages and abstract enemies—stays true to the source. The soundtrack, composed by Yuki Kajiura, who scored the anime, adds to the emotional weight.
While it builds on Magia Record’s legacy (which shut down in 2024), Magia Exedra aims to stand alone, offering a fresh entry point with a darker, mystery-driven plot. It launches globally on March 27, 2025, with pre-registration rewards like free pulls and an exclusive Homura card to hook players into its bittersweet world.
