Uta Macross

The Uta Macross revival is in active crowdfunding on Campfire, with the campaign running until October 31. AUGUST Inc. is developing the offline rebuild for iOS, Android, and Steam with a planned release next spring.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 19

AUGUST Inc. is developing a revival of Uta Macross: Smartphone De Culture, the Macross franchise rhythm game whose live service ended in 2022. The rebuilt version is planned for iOS, Android, and Steam next spring, with Japanese and English support and content carried over from the original game. The announcement, made around September 7, set the terms: an offline game rather than a live service, and a crowdfunding campaign on Campfire with a 30 million yen goal to fund development and additional content.

The campaign launched September 10 and reached its 30 million yen goal within the first hour. It cleared every initial stretch goal, which funded an unspecified console version and additional songs, and two more stretch goals were added. As of press time on September 16, the campaign had raised 114,015,515 yen and runs until October 31.

The only other coverage in this cluster is a September 6 roundup that lists Uta Macross among seven game articles, alongside release dates for Gundam Rogue Orbit and Fate/EXTRA Record. It adds no detail about the revival beyond placing it on the week's radar a day before the platforms and crowdfunding plan were announced.
