NHN announced the start of global pre-registration for its match-3 puzzle game 'My Favorite Idol Puzzle Star' on October 20.
'My Favorite Idol Puzzle Star' is the first official puzzle game based on the popular TV animation 'My Favorite Idol.'
NHN has confirmed that the title will be 'My Favorite Idol Puzzle Star' for all regions upon global release, supporting Korean, Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
The game features characters from 'My Favorite Idol.' Players can enjoy simple mechanics of connecting and clearing blocks, along with unique puzzle skills and animations for each character, a 'Memory Board' that revisits episodes from the original animation, costume customization based on original outfits, and original illustrations.
NHN is responsible for the game's development and publishing in global regions outside Japan. The Japanese service will be managed by Kadokawa, the provider of the original intellectual property (IP). The company revealed the official title at a local event in Japan last September and showcased the game at the domestic animation and gaming event 'AGF 2025' in December.
Through its Japanese subsidiary NHN PlayArt, NHN has previously provided character IP-based puzzle games such as 'Yo-kai Watch Puni Puni' and 'LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum.'
Jung Jun-jae, head of NHN's game business division, stated, "We have prepared special rewards for global users, including the 'B Komachi Ai' costume and decoration items, so we hope for your interest."
