Synthesized from 10 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Across the summer of 2026, coly spent most of its announcements on Disney Sparklink Stars. The official site opened on June 23, 2026 with pre-registration run through the game's X account and YouTube channel rather than app store pre-orders, and a double follow and repost campaign with 10 winners receiving a 5,000 yen Disney Store gift card. Character reveals followed in sequence: Neo Michelle, leader and center of the UPbeats! group, voiced by Shoya Chiba; Ranka Manku, voiced by Gen Sato; Didi Cedric Bird, voiced by Yuya Hirose; Shu Ayakashi of aMazINC., voiced by Daiki Hamano; and Nicola Vaniteel, voiced by Yuga Sato. Pre-registration opened on the App Store and Google Play on August 6, 2026, with the game passing 300,000 sign-ups and described as a Spark Rider training adventure set on Sparkle Islands Lumina Stear, where players act as Conductors and produce Spark Riders through a 3-match puzzle.

On September 11, 2026, coly moved the planned launch to November 2026, saying the development period was extended to deliver a higher-quality experience and that the date may shift again depending on progress. Break My Case, the iOS and Android title coly continues to support, had a rhythm mode called ROLL'N GROOVE announced at the Break My Case 4th Conference in August, with a public broadcast of the Buremai Stream program set for November 3 and a Blu-ray release for November 7. In September, coly detailed ROLL'N GROOVE further: runners move to personal songs and puzzle background music, close members running side by side give a Relation bonus, items come from a Chance Box at the goal, and Pins are updated with new items Chemical and Polish to strengthen card effects.
