Crypton Future Media announced on July 22, 2026, that a new smartphone game, Hatsune Miku Graphy Collection: Mysterious Music Comet Re:Merge, will launch for iOS and Android in fall 2026. The game is free-to-play with item-based microtransactions and features the six Piapro Characters: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO. The main visual, showing the characters smiling against a starry sky, was newly drawn by illustrator Kocha Majitaro. The game's genre and further details have not been disclosed and will be announced at a later date.
