Gakumas Adds Another P-Idol Liberalization In Mid-October
The change decouples Another Idol live songs from a single initial SSR, so a player's owned Produce Idols become usable bases for those performances.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Bandai Namco Entertainment announced on September 28 that Gakuen Idolmaster will add 'Another P-Idol Liberalization' in mid-October, letting any Produce Idol designate an Another Idol's song. An SSR Another Idol Guaranteed Gacha runs from October 9, and little-devil costume idols and Another Idols appear from September 30. The game is available on PC via DMM GAMES, iOS, and Android.
The announcement came during the official livestream program 'Hatsuboshi Gakuen HR #12.' Another Idols are currently treated as costume variants of each idol's initially released SSR, and producing one runs at that same performance level. Under the change, Another Idol live songs will be designable for any Produce Idol, so a favorite Produce Idol outside the initial SSR can be the base.
Gacha pieces of the original version remain obtainable as before. Alongside the change, an SSR Another Idol Guaranteed Gacha opens on October 9, and idols in little-devil costumes and Another Idols appear from September 30.
