Smilegate Megaport opened global pre-registration on June 24, 2026, for MIRESI: The Invisible Future, a free-to-play time-travel RPG for iOS, Android, and PC. The game is developed by CONTROL9, a studio founded by key development members of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Seven Knights 2. The art director is illustrator Hyolra, known for his work on NIKKE. Pre-registration commemorates the game's exhibition at Anime Expo 2026, held in Los Angeles from July 2 to 5. Players can register via the official website, and in-game items will be awarded at launch based on the total number of registrants. The game is set in a world where multiple timelines intersect; players take the role of a Councilor and journey with characters Ende, Tieria, and Itsuka to save a world on the brink of destruction. Combat uses a real-time turn-based system where character positioning and movement affect outcomes. The release date has not been announced. Smilegate director Han Jae-yong said the pre-registration is meant to introduce the game to global users and create closer communication opportunities.
MIRESI: The Invisible Future was first announced in August 2025, and the pre-registration push now coincides with the game's first major public showing at Anime Expo 2026. Attendees will be able to play a demo and receive exclusive novelty items at the Smilegate booth. The game is being developed by CONTROL9, co-led by Cho Seung-kyu and Kwon Se-woon, and the art director Hyolra (also romanized as Chira or Hyeolra in some sources) is known for his detailed character designs, which the studio says are fully recreated in 3D modeling. The battle system is described as real-time turn-based, with character placement and movement affecting victory or defeat. The pre-registration campaign offers tiered in-game rewards based on the number of sign-ups, though the specific thresholds have not been disclosed. Smilegate director Han Jae-yong stated that the company will continue to release new information through various channels. The game is planned for cross-platform release on PC and mobile, with a free-to-play model and optional in-app purchases.
