We’ve previously reported on Compile Heart’s new Mado Monogatari game which launched in Japan back in November 2024. The Mado Monogatari games are famous for being the franchise that brought about the debut of the Puyo characters, alongside Carbuncle and Arle prior to their inclusion in the Puyo Puyo franchise. These dungeon crawlers have largely stayed in Japan and have released on various SEGA platforms like the Mega Drive, Game Gear and Saturn.
In a miraculous move by Idea Factory, the latest game in the series will be localised for Western markets as Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy and release on July 29th 2025 for PS4, PS5 and Switch. The game can be pre-ordered on numerous online retailers now, and there’s also a special edition version that includes an art book, soundtrack, reversible cover and more.

SEGA have also revealed that characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Avatar Legends are coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as well.
