Colopl Announces Free-to-Play Quiz Action RPG 'Wiz Generation' for Winter

Colopl, known for the long-running 'Black Cat's Wiz,' is positioning 'Wiz Generation' as a new IP rather than a sequel, betting that a quiz-action hybrid can stand on its own.

Colopl Announces Free-to-Play Quiz Action RPG 'Wiz Generation' for Winter

Colopl announced on August 26 that it will release 'Wiz Generation,' a new quiz action RPG for iOS and Android, this winter. The game is developed by STAR STUDIOS and will be free-to-play with item-based monetization. Pre-registration opened the same day across the App Store, Google Play, official X, and official LINE, alongside a teaser trailer and a giveaway campaign on the official X account.

The story leans on the sibling bond between Willow and Wiz. Willow is a student mage at a magic academy; Wiz is her older sister, a teacher there and one of the continent's foremost genius mages. When Wiz is chosen as a challenger to the Demon Tower, a tower said to grant any wish to those who conquer it, a mysterious witch attacks to block her departure. Wiz shields Willow and is turned into a cat. Willow takes her sister's place and challenges the tower with her companions to restore her to human form.

Combat is a "real-time quiz action battle." Tapping to attack fills a skill gauge, and when it is full a quiz appears; answering quickly and accurately triggers a flashy special action. The balance is tuned so quiz fans who are weak at action games can still play with satisfaction.

  • Eight question genres: trivia, entertainment, sports, lifestyle, humanities, society, science, and games & anime.
  • Question formats include multiple choice, true/false, rearrangement, and fill-in-the-blank, with over 100,000 questions total.
  • The ranking battle "Matouhai" (Demon Tower Cup) pits players nationwide against each other on answer speed and accuracy.
  • Regular "live-streamed live quizzes" let players join simultaneously, framed as a quiz-show experience.

Colopl positions the game as a new IP rather than a sequel to its 2013 quiz RPG "Black Cat's Wiz." A press release quotes the tagline "After all, humans love quizzes." The company says some characters are provided through a paid random item provision method.
