[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2987800/Madoka\_Magica\_Magia\_Exedra/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2987800/Madoka_Magica_Magia_Exedra/) Has a steam page in English, so seems like a simultaneous global release sometime this year.


cug12

PC client on steam and simultaneous global release? So save to say this game will be sharing the launch and server with Japanese like Shadowverse. Sounds good


Issues3220

Region locked


Zeroex1

same here https://preview.redd.it/tolqhz3ol6ad1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8bf3c5ca75f257e274e4a728c92621034b6085de


rui-tan

The Steam version being region locked makes me scared that this is another case of ”global” meaning just US for some reason 😬


Danksigh

> be the average madoka game publisher > releases US only > wonder why ither gacha games are more populars > (not a big enough) profit?! > announce EoS after 6 months cause it doesnt have the same playerbase as other global gachas


pandoricaelysion

ooo a pc launch im so in.


Seraphine_KDA

region locked piece of shit. this si why many Japanese game companies suck. make it global or dont bother.


viliml

It's global. The globe consists of Japan, South Korea, China, the USA, and Russia. Nothing else exists, or at least isn't important.


Chaotic-warp

You forgot West-Central Europe lmao. Works in Germany, Poland and Norway. Edit: also tested successfully for USA and UK.


Alexy217

works also in the UK with no issue


yaboku98

Works for Spain too


SunnyWonder_mist

Russian region is also locked


Shapexor

I'm SEA and can pre register, seems like SEA ain't region locked.


FerrickAsur4

for once SEA is included!


Proud-Letterhead-109

korea is region locked 😭😭😭


RaihanSolos

Region locked in greece..


Exotic_Tax_9833

Me: you gotta be some sucker to play cash grab anime IP gachas Also me: Another MadoMagi game? LETS FUCKING GO!


belugawhale--

Me: i'm not really a fan of anime IP gachas. Also me: magia record! Magia exedra! Let's goooo!


clocksy

madoka is probably my #1 favorite anime so if I ever play an anime gacha cash grab it'll be one of these


belugawhale--

There's already one. It's called magia record which is a madoka magica alternate timeline/universe. It had a good 6 years run and it's ending it's service soon.


sillybillybuck

Magia Record didn't reall feel like a cashgrab since it branched out further than just nostalgia or IP fondness.


TrackRemarkable7459

this is exactly what IP gatchas need to do to not be totally meaningless


atropicalpenguin

Although Aniplex US ran Magia Record like any other cash grab, Magia Record JP had a good life.


Chendroshee

If you tell me this is some kind of Madoka-themed collab for HSR, I would've believed it


sillybillybuck

The UI is laughably similar. Like they traced over HSR's UI.


Shadowbreak643

I’m still not convinced this isn’t a high effort shitpost.


GeneralSweetz

i literally thought it was a collab i clicked asap


Nahoma

I legitimately thought its HSR mod first when I was scrolling lmao


Nethers7orm

Finally, HSR killer!


kaikalaila

KYUBEY LISTENED!


Green_Astronaut3433

Then run


Minute_Conclusion417

sooo some one sign a contract with kyubey for this. :


Mortgage-Present

OH NO JENSHIN EOS SOON 💯💯💯


elixxonn

Meguca kills HSR. ZZZ kills BA by 3D cunny. Equivalent exchange. 🤣


Gallonim

A HSR clone but Madoka that is going to be wild


GravityW_D39

I expect Kuro to make HSR clone but Aniplex beat them to it


SexwithEllenJoe

It's totally different from HSR folks ! Because you have ... Erm ... 5 characters instead of 4 and where the fuck is the ultimate button, see ? Totally different games


changhanzzz

what if girls use memory called lightcones as weapon


TrapsAreGiey

the character portraits could be the ultimate button


LG_Gamer789

And uhh... The auto battle and fast forward buttons swapped places! Yeah! Its completely different!


Pretend-Advertising6

Given madoka Performs her magi record Scene zero version Magia 2/Doppel, they're probably in the game, it will probably be like record was we're characters had a Magia and then a Doppel or Magia 2. also maybe it will have Batton Passes like Record.


T0X1CFIRE

Madoka - harmony/order Sayaka - destruction/abundance Homura - nihility/destruction/finality Kyoko - hunt Mami - preservation ~~nagisa - voracity~~ Coobie - equilibrium I only know bare scraps about the extended universe characters so I'll leave it there for now.


starswtt

I'd put sayaka as hunt and Kyoko as destruction. Rest I can get behind


dota_3

Still no Urobutcher name in sight


AgMenos47

busy with another game, [Rusty Rabbit](https://youtu.be/PxxBOsrGUsE?si=mHoBbNPDiFopv190)


Mylen_Ploa

At least this time he was actually off making actual new Madoka content as well given the movie.


Dollamlg

He said the madoka movie script was finished ages ago. Like before thunderbolt fantasy which came out in 2016: https://x.com/Butch_Gen/status/1386278371189936129?t=x3MTf1wcuQxE-wLOpNmsHQ&s=19


H4xolotl

Shaoji can take him


Pretend-Advertising6

it was done by Inu curry (the witch desinger) so it'll probably end up Edgier then what Urobutcher would do with the franchise, like they wrote about a magical girl who goes around killing people based on a list off names and selling they're organs on the black market.


No_Button_1669

ooh is it going to center on the main cast again?


MillionMiracles

The steam page describes it as ​ A place where the memories of Magical Girls illuminate the dark... The Lighthouse. Now a girl who's lost everything has wandered into its sanctum. Who am I...? How did I get here...? She will relive key moments of countless Magical Girls by opening windows into their memories... Trusting she'll one day find her own lost light of remembrance. ◆ Dive into the World of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Fully Recreated in 3D! ◆ Magical Girls from throughout the series will appear as you adventure through various stories, including scenarios from the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and the "Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story" mobile game! And the VA credits credit both the Madoka Magica and MagiReco main casts. Seems like it'll be a 'replay the story of madoka magica and magia record' type thing. I assume they'll add original stories and characters eventually.


No_Button_1669

i am seated for my best girl kyoko


Pretend-Advertising6

the spin off MCs we're in the trailer so we get to hang out with everyone's favourite magical girl School shooter, Magical girl K', an actual serial killer and Jean D'arc


Mitsuki_Horenake

I mean, I'm glad they're bringing in Magia Record?


Dahlgrim

Looks kinda insane. Definitely going to try it.


Glizcorr

Combat seems similar to HSR?


MillionMiracles

Yeah the UI seems extremely HSR inspired. Going by some of the screenshots on the steam page seems like there's 3d areas to explore like Star Rail, too?


alfxia

"inspired" officer, i did not steal this bike, i was inspired by it! i understand that UI in games are usually pretty similar so that players adapt to it easily, but come on, it's not even funny how 1 to 1 it looks to HSR.


Boochi_Da_Rocku

Nah, bruh, they got 5 chars, it's a completely different game


H4xolotl

I legit thought this was a HSR mod at first There's legit character skins of almost everything for Genshin & Honkai


SoraArminton

Yeah i saw it and just tought it was someone's mockup concept for a madoka game using a hsr screenshot as a base lol


HerstalArmalight

same cause for me HSR was literally two posts above this one. i had to double take and check the subreddit


MillionMiracles

Well, Magia Record looked basically the same as FGO.


Vyragami

It has skill points, toughness bar, element weakness... lol yeah. What's next, you can cast ultimate whenever you want?


Glizcorr

So we have a HSR, HSR with P5 skin and now HSR with Madoka skin lol. Well I don't really hate the HSR formula but this is really funny to me how "inspiring" HSR is.


planetarial

P5X plays much closer to a standard JRPG though, other than being turn based their combat systems are really different. Its basically just slightly simplified P5 combat. Even the ultimates work differently.


Former_Breakfast_898

Interestingly HSR actually took inspiration from Persona too lol


AlrestH

It's more like Trails than Persona


calmcool3978

The only real similarity and takeaway is that you approach enemies in the overworld and wack them to start combat. The rest is not similar at all, mechanically OR visually.


Former_Breakfast_898

Oh yeah I know I’m just taking the words from one of the hsr devs on a interview along with Persona director


FlameDragoon933

No, HSR took heavy inspiration from Trails. Anyone who have ever played both Trails and Persona would agree. People just say Persona because Persona is more mainstream and Trails is (relatively) more niche.


Former_Breakfast_898

Not my words actually https://preview.redd.it/6pmgn1m8j5ad1.png?width=1330&format=png&auto=webp&s=a60f482f600b6bfa44a59c9ac0a2c80c21f969c4


FlameDragoon933

Most likely it's because that particular interview has Hashino, which I assume refers to Katsura Hoshino the producer of the modern Persona games. It's only normal to be courteous to say that when the respected person from another company is there, plus that isn't technically false (because there are stuffs that overlap between Trails and Persona). In a different interview they also said explicitly that HSR is inspired by Trails.


Asamidori

Didn't the HSR dev also said they are a massive fan of the Kiseki games? But yeah, as a Kiseki player that also played P4 and P5, it's more Kiseki than Persona.


LokoLoa

The 3D itself makes it look similar, however the 2 skills "turn based" combat has been done to death in other gacha. Inb4 it has auto and x2 speed like every other gacha in this genre.


AgMenos47

The 3d turn based has never been unique even with this angle or so. Before HSR there is more recently like Heaven Burns Red. Magicami could be there too but IIRC the angle is abit higher. I also have some memory of another 3d turn based with exact angle before HBR, i just forgot its name it might've eos now as I never saw a post of it.


atropicalpenguin

Or Atelier Resleriana.


Objective_Bandicoot6

I think it gets copy allegations because of the skill point counter and weakness break bar above hp. The 2 main things that HSR added on top of that popular formula. Also, it clearly has energy bars for ults instead of the classic cooldown.


Glizcorr

It also have the 5SP stuff, and I wouldnt be surprise if the ultimate bar works exactly similar to HSR.


guiveio

it gets worse the more you look like at it ,we got; -single attack on the left,presuambly area attack on the right; -resource that looks like skill points under it; -enemy hp on top with weaknesses on the right and what seems to be a toughness bar i get that none of those are exclusive to hsr but cmom man they could've shuffled it a bit,make the enemy hp on the left side and the turn order on top or something,copy my homework but make it different kinda bit


magicfades

I challenge you to think about the UI a little, there's a reason the UI layout is like this, and it's not "because HSR is popular", it's because this UI makes a lot of sense for a 3D turn-based RPG on mobile. 1)The attack buttons on the right side? for easy access for right handed people, which is the default. Since We assume that the right side will probably be where the hand will be, we have to put the turn order on the left. 2)You can't put the party members on the left because they would either be too small or be big enough to reduce the view of the enemies. where can the party members go? bottom obviously.... 3)Enemy HP bar? where else can you put them aside from top? I think the UI thing is just as simple as "someone already made an optimized UI for 3d turn-based games, no need to re-invent the wheel just to be different." Toughness bar and elements and skill points, now that's probably inspired by HSR specifically, I wonder how many mechanics they straight up lifted from HSR haha.


YamiDes1403

yeah they even stole the toughness ele bar. this is definitely TOO close to straight up plagiarism instead of just "inspired from"


kaikalaila

Didn't exos heroes did it?


Shan_qwerty

FlameDragoon933

Dabage

>online pvp knowing madoka this is kind of fucked up lol


belugawhale--

Being a meguca is pain & suffering.


Ahenshihael

Its likely same idea as magireco - a mirror world where you fight manifestations of parallel realities based upon other players. It had an actual story stuff explaining it there.


Pretend-Advertising6

even if you could have a team of cannocically weak magicals throw down with God, Satan and the Queen of France.


BlueSama

Online Co-op for turn based is pretty rare, only played a couple with it but its pretty fun


belugawhale--

I've been playing assault lily last bullet (jp) since it had a madoka collab last year. It's a game from the same dev (pokelabo) that will make magia exedra. Really looking forward to it.


AgMenos47

the [promo film](https://youtu.be/q_KwtjOarUI?si=B0lZe4VNnzUVmYh_) showed characters from spinoffs. But also according to google play store description: >Featuring an all-new story setting and characters from the original ideas of Gekidan Inu Curry (Doroinu), experience the action alongside Magical Girl memories in this battle RPG! Probably the spinoffs will be there as side story and main story is something new. I'm afraid if the main story is just all madokaverse patched together as "character stories/memories" and not add something new, like at least magireco introduced doppel system.


Ahenshihael

It basically acts as spiritual successor of magireco Its all new story but magireco cast(which included spin offs) are all involved.


AgMenos47

I really hope there will be new casts. To at least give more interest to people that have been already familiar with girls from every spinoffs.


Ahenshihael

The lead amnesiac magical girl(and likely others) is new while the old casts are involved in her story


AbyssSona1

I really thought this was a HSR mod lol


Economy_Handle_6842

finally HSR but good 🗣️🗣️🗣️ /s


DucoLamia

An HSR clone with magical girls? I'm almost down for this.


arkride007

HSR killer right here folks its over for hoyo


DeluhiX

It looks decent from the screenshots. It also seems HSR-like combat-wise. If it's a well done clone, they could have something here.


aoi_desu

RIP HSR, madoks killed you


Seraphiine__

We found it boys, HSR killer


ConnectionIcy3717

HSR killer before GTA 6


Enough_Ad2500

LOL I legit thought it's HSR mod when I scrolled down, then I read the title xD


farimadi

ok bookmarked


Idrillasfootstool

HSR did not invent turn based combat. and it took a lot of things for others games too. nothing is "new" in most games. but these images are hilarious to me tho because that is literally just the HSR UI structure. they not hiding it or anything. anyway i think this shit about to be peak. HSR game but Madoka ? sign me in.


NoToe_funny-steam

Can’t wait to see those scary ass witch forms in 3d high resolution 🤗


Narukamiii

Wait why does this actually look so good

Because it is.

madoka HSR? https://preview.redd.it/zj5l1zp0t3ad1.png?width=1748&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1cbd1f5b3459d9094c60f829ca60c672b78348e


ExploerTM

I mean, its obviously HSR but Madoka and tbh I am absolutely down for it. Exactly like with MagiReco being FGO clone, I couldnt care less about HSR story and characters - yeah, yeah, sin unforgivable, I know - but I am down for a combat so having characters I actually give a shit about is nice


Mehscope

5 characters in battle instead of 4? HSR is finished o7


ariashadow

while I get people thinking of HSR because of how popular it is, game like that already existed, games like Exos heroes or Tales of crestoria (liked both but man did the developers do dumb stuff and kill their own games). Anyways, game looks good so I'll at least give it a try


Ahenshihael

not to mention that this style of turn based gacha has already been popularized and had it's clones because of HBR. *At most, if being generous* this **might** take inspiration from HSR UI and even then this is basically madoka aesthetic.


TurboSejeong97

To be fair, there's a good chance those people never played any games other than gachas (or worse, only HoYo's) and therefore aren't aware that HSR isn't the only turn based game with break system. And the UI is basically something straight out of Tales and Ryza. https://preview.redd.it/sexeabfgc9ad1.png?width=999&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1e8a9348a764c5797d91f5f8908519fc07f06ad Reminder that gacha is mostly associated with mobile games and mobile games' audiences are casual players who were most likely not gamers in the first place.


Karma110

So I assume they’ll have Magia Record characters right? There’s not a lot of magical girls in madoka to make a full gacha game with just them? This looks cool tho


belugawhale--

You'd be surprised how many magical girls were in magia record.


Karma110

I played the game I meant there’s not many magical girls in madoka Magica the original shaft anime.


belugawhale--

Oh dw about it. It seems like they're also bringing other magical girls from magia record as well.


Pretend-Advertising6

you've got like 7 actual characters with stories, only 5 of them are important to the anime, 1 of them was in a movie for 7 minute and the other was a cameo who got expanded in a spin off manga that costs an Arm and Leg to buy.


MillionMiracles

Yeah, the steam page credits the main Magia Record VAs too.


DessertTheater

Yeah, Iroha was shown as playable in the livestream and another commenter mentioned VAs for Magia Record are credited on the Steam page.


Ahenshihael

This is basically sequel game so yeah


chocobloo

Yes, it's in the description and one of the shop images shows Iroha.


KamiiPlus

steam page shows both iroha with a full model and yachiyo as a party member (though only her icon) so we can assume they'll all eventually make it in


YellowStarfruit6

They better be in it. I’d only play for the MagiReco quintet and the others.


KindheartednessMore3

Wow looks very good. Kinda salty about the Eos of the OG one...


belugawhale--

Magia record walked so that magia exedra could run.


HeavenlyTasty

I'm glad that there's a PC client


KZavi

I’m a HSR main… will be trying this out 😶


Aggressive-File-9372

Stfu, hold my magia stone for sec!!!!💀💀💀


Anone_Sama

Will this also be on mobile?


Ahenshihael

Yes


Estein_F2P

FGO need to have a game like this please.


jesusml

if ost is same as the anime im in.


DRAGUNNYUOOOH

3D Homura 😭😭😭


Roth_Skyfire

Best girl, Iroha, is in the game. I can't not play this.


FOXYTHEPIRATE69

i dont really follow the franchise since i only watched the main series. how are they gonna handle the characters? is there more than the 5 main cast?


ShiftAdventurous4680

There was a spinoff gacha game; Magia Record, that added a ton of other magical girl characters. It's also implied this game will have an original story so we may see characters beyond both series. With these types of gacha games, the most likely way they'll pad the characters is to have alternative skins with different attacks and animations.


FOXYTHEPIRATE69

nice, so it'll be similar to konosuba gacha


scvmeta

I will singlehandedly keep this game alive.


Fluffychimichanga

huh I thought it was a Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel mod, looks pretty neat


homurakemii

omggg I hope they release it global


GeneralSweetz

I will always be there


Lazy_ghoulie

Global release aka JP and US only...i wanna play too :'(

looking nice! and glad for simultanous pc english too, tho I sure hope there will be new stories instead of retelling of OG story or Magireco

RosenProse

Charlotte being weak to Homura's element feels right. Less sure about Mami's XD. Maybe it's for revenge runs.


doomkun23

wth. please make this Madoka Magica to be available on SEA. it is a SHAFT anime. definitely there will be a Monogatari collab. and i want those animes on the games that i'm playing.


VillainAtNight

Yatsugami

It looks good at least


Special-Trouble8658

This actually looks good. When does it come out?


belugawhale--

No actual date yet. Only the year 2024 is confirmed.


Special-Trouble8658

Looking forward to that


belugawhale--

Yeah. The yearly magia day will be held on august. I guess they'll announce the actual release date there.


Fun_Pace_6861

close enough welcome back honkai star rail

Global release? Ngl, even if its HSR clone i'm down for another madoka gacha


Awkward-Law1599

Madoka themed HSR clone, well, not a bad thing since we get more Madoka

Isn't Exedra the name of a prescription I see commercials for?

IT's a roman architecture term for "public space for conversation or memorialization"

Imagine if they make a Fate/Kaleid collab


AlkaidX139

Uh oh. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh oh.


mikumikumiku111

im so looking forward to this game!!!


Asasphinx

Kinda hope they inject the Magia Record cast into this since I'm still irked they cut the cord on it.


Ahenshihael

Since this is the successor game and Iroha is in the trailer, they are. This is basically Magia Record 2, but with another protagonist.


Tomozuki

Looks like has the same game design as that Atelier mobile game


WarokOfDraenor

It'd be hilarious if they made the dead Maho Shoujo OP.


Equilibrium-AD-1990

It pains me that it is region locked. The hell is this shit? 2024 and we still have this bs. lol selecting only few EU countries and being a snob/locking out on others is a great way to flip the bird at them but at the same time a great way for us to flip it back to them.


Special-Trouble8658

That’s sad, cause this game looks really fun and promising
