Madoka Magica Could Get An ADV Game By Mages Someday

As you already know, last week’s Famitsu magazine included a huge interview with Mages' Chiyomaru Shikura. Near the end of the interview, hepartly explainedthe upcomingSteins;Gate10th anniversary plans and shared his wish to makeSteins;Gate Zero Elite. Following that, he also mentioned he’d like to make similar ADV games forNeon Genesis Evangelion, Puella Magi Madoka Magica,andYour Name:Chiyomaru Shikura:“Also, I already said that multiple times in the past, but I really want to make an “Eva Elite” game. And a “MadoMagiElite” and “Kimi no Na wa. Elite”.Kimi no Na Wa.especially would work really well with multiple routes, but that’s just me being delusional laughs".Personally, among those three, I think the game adaptation by Mages with the best chances of becoming real would meMadoka Magica. Chiyomaru Shikura is obviously acquainted with Nitroplus' Gen Urobuchi,MadoMagi’s writer, so technically, it could happen one day with the two of them working together.Ultimately though, it’ll depends on Aniplex (Sony), who owns the franchise’s rights, and whether they believe a game like this will make money.So far,MadoMagigot multiple game adaptations:

Magia Recordis pretty popular. Like every gacha game in summer it’s currently having swimsuit-themed events.Magia Recordalready got s stage play adaptation, a manga adaptation, and a one cour long anime in 2020, with more anime scheduled to come. Mobile + gacha is the biggest game market for years now in Japan, so the chances of a consoleMadoka Magicagame happening now are kinda slim.

We summarized the whole Chiyomaru Shikura &Steins;Gate10th anniversary interview through multiple articles. He talked aboutColopl buying Mages, how’s it going withAnonymous;Code, and a possible crossover with all of theScience Adventure Series.

Note that Famitsupublishedthe whole interview online on August 13 if you’re interested in reading it in Japanese.
