CONSOLES

players looking for new console experiences have a fresh option to consider. D3 Publisher revealed a new entry in The Idolmaster SideM franchise that will launch on both the current and the upcoming Switch 2. This dual-platform release ensures that fans of the series can continue their production journey regardless of which console they choose to play on.

D3 Publisher reveals dual-platform release for 315 Production agency

The upcoming title positions players as a producer managing 49 idols spread across 16 distinct units within the 315 Production agency. The game functions as an idol production and scheduling adventure that requires players to guide these characters through their daily routines and career milestones. This structure allows fans to engage with the broader roster of characters rather than focusing on a single subgroup.

The narrative centers on an original storyline that exists within the established world of The Idolmaster SideM. The plot follows the idols as they pursue individual goals with the ultimate aim of performing in a major concert one year from the start of the game. Developers have indicated that the content volume will match the expectations of a full console game rather than a smaller mobile or handheld spinoff.

and Switch owners should note that the official title and specific release window remain unannounced at this time. The game will support both legacy Switch hardware and the newer Switch 2 console, providing flexibility for players who have not yet upgraded. This broad compatibility ensures that the existing fanbase can access the new content without waiting for a system transition.
