Cybird, the maker of Ikemen Sengoku, is adding a new mobile game to its otome-oriented Ikemen Series. Instead of the recurring fantasy and historical setting, the coming title Ikemen Live: A Love Song in a Songless World (イケメンライブ 恋の歌をキミに) is a band story set in modern Japan.
Ikemen Live is said to be a “music x romance” simulation game. It is uncertain whether common rhythm game elements will be included.
Pre-registration is already open. Estimated launch schedule is 2018 Summer.
