KONAMI has announced an important shift in the development of its upcoming idol game, SHINE POST Be Your IDOL!- シャインポストBe Your アイドル!. The game was originally planned as a mobile release, now is being reimagined as a console experience, which console? Not announced, but I hope it comes to Nintendo Switch because you know, if we don’t get the mobile edition, at least, portable with Switch.
The development team explained that the decision to pivot away from mobile was driven by their desire to best showcase the heartfelt journey of SHINE POST. Instead of relying on mobile touch interfaces, the team aims to craft a standalone console title that allows players to fully engage with the story and gameplay.
SHINE POST Be Your IDOL! is set in a world where aspiring idols strive to achieve their dreams despite obstacles and doubts. Players will step into the shoes of a manager, guiding the idol group through challenges and making critical decisions that will determine their path to stardom. The immersive gameplay promises to bring the drama, passion, and triumph of the idol world to life.
The release date, specific platforms, and other details remain under wraps, you can get more from their official website or the X/Twitter game account in japanese.
