NEOWIZ has announced the beginning of their Google Play pre-registration event for idol management sim Idoly Pride. Android users can sign up now for the impending release, with the App Store version following soon after.

If you have not heard of the series, don’t feel too bad, it is a relatively new property launched in 2020, and we all had a few other things going on that year. The story revolves around an idol company called Hoshimi Production, whose star idol, Mana Nagase, tragically passed away at the height of her popularity. A few years later, her younger sister, Kotono, joins the company and starts her new life with the other nine idols.

In the Idoly Pride games, you are placed in the shoes of the manager of the idols, an unnamed protagonist referred to as the Manager, but who is effectively Kohei Makino from the series. As you can expect, it is your role to guide your charges on their path to stardom whilst also dealing with all the pitfalls of fame. As you play, you will be treated with 3D Live performances, alongside voice acting and singing by renowned VAs.

If you aren't a fan of pre-registering for whatever reason, then don’t fret! As long as you log into Idoly Pride within a month of launching, you can still net yourselves the free starter gifts. These include 30 Casting Tickets, 3000 Red Diamonds, and a Global Limited Edition 5-Star Mana Photo.

Those of you who fancy yourself influencers can also sign up for the Influencer Program by filling out this Google Form. This includes YouTubers, Bloggers, Streamers and so on, and if you are accepted you'll get special items, emblems, event support and more.

To make sure you don’t miss out on the launch date, pre-register for Idoly Pride on the official website. It is in Japanese, but you can figure out what buttons to press easily enough.
