Idea Factory has announced that MADO MONOGATARI: Fia and the Wondrous Academy will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC later in 2025.
MADO MONOGATARI is a dungeon crawler, and the original series the legendary puzzle game Puyo Puyo spun-off from. The series is famous for its insanely deep and complex lore, and has previously only had a single main entry translated into English; that being 2013's Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God.
Puyo Puyo itself has received multiple English releases, with Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche being two of the earliest westernized releases. Meanwhile later titles, such as Puyo Puyo Tetris and Puyo Puyo Champions, have retained their Puyo Puyo identity and characters in the West.
Fia and the Wondrous Academy was developed by Sting Entertainment & Compile Heart, and originally released in Japan in 2024, with its English release being handled by Idea Factory International.
You can pre-order the game today via Idea Factory's official website. Additionally, a Limited Edition is also being sold, which contains a special trading card.
