DMM Character Talk is an AI chat service launched on June 23, 2026, aggregating over 1,000 characters from multiple providers, with users able to create characters and pay via DMM Points.
DMM Character Talk launched on June 23, 2026, with more than 1,000 AI characters from multiple providers, including learning, fortune-telling, and story-chat options. Users can speak to characters one-on-one, build their own, and pay through DMM Points. The service is pitched as entertainment first, and DMM said anime IP collaborations are planned.
No later development connected to the service appears in the coverage. The surrounding stories concern DMM's wider games and media business in 2026: DMM GAMES outlined a PC-first strategy at Tokyo Game Show 2026, citing a 40 million member base and a 20 billion yen content investment over three years, and DMM TV took the top spot in Oricon's 2026 streaming satisfaction survey. DMM Pictures set a January 2027 debut for the Ore to Yu Nii! anime. These items establish the company's scale and its anime ties but do not state anything further about Character Talk itself.
Shutdowns are part of the same slate. DMM GAMES ended ANGELICA ASTER on October 19 about one year and eleven months after its December 2024 launch, and Tenkei Paradox ended service on August 26 after roughly four years. Neither notice mentions Character Talk.
The record on Character Talk is therefore one launch story. What is confirmed is the June 23, 2026 start, the character count, third-party aggregation, user-created characters, DMM Points payment, and planned anime IP tie-ins. Any change since then is not documented in the stories provided.
