BODY: For fans who have been waiting to see where the Puella Magi Madoka Magica mobile RPG goes next, Aniplex just put a date on the calendar. The publisher announced that the 28th installment of its official program, Exedra Tsushin, will stream Thursday, May 28 at 20:00 JST under the banner "Summer Sneak Peek! Mado-Dora Beach Opening Info Reveal SP."
The broadcast is positioned as the game's big summer kickoff. Viewers can expect a tease of warm-weather content, alongside fresh details on a new ★5 Kioku — the memory-card style units that anchor Magia Exedra's gacha and combat systems. While Aniplex is keeping specifics close to the chest, the "beach opening" framing strongly hints at swimsuit variants of the franchise's magical girls, a staple seasonal beat for Japanese mobile titles.
There is also a tangible gift attached to the stream. To celebrate winning the Appliv Best Mobile Game Award 2026, Aniplex will distribute free Magica Stones — the game's premium currency — to all players. The exact quantity has not been disclosed, but award-commemoration giveaways in this category typically land in the hundreds.
The program will be hosted on the game's official YouTube and niconico channels, with the usual cast of voice actors and producers walking through the roadmap. Expect roughly an hour of content, including gameplay footage and a livestream-only code or two.
The insider take
Magia Exedra has quietly become one of the more stable performers in Aniplex's mobile lineup since launch, and the Appliv award is a meaningful nod inside the Tokyo industry — Appliv's editorial picks carry weight with the casual-player crowd that gacha publishers most want to retain. A summer stream this early in the season suggests Aniplex is confident in the pipeline and wants to lock in player attention before competing summer events from Bandai Namco and Cygames inevitably crowd the calendar in June.
