BanG Dream! Our Notes Launches Globally in Late 2026

Bilibili Game has officially announced that BanG Dream! Our Notes is heading to mobile devices globally in the second half of 2026. If you have been looking for an entry point into the Bandori franchise, this upcoming title is designed to offer a fresh start with a mixture of familiar faces and new groups.

A Fresh Start for Bandori Fans

For players who have found the existing years of anime, live performances, and mobile gaming history overwhelming, Our Notes is positioned as an ideal jumping-on point. The story follows three established bands from the multimedia project while introducing two entirely new groups: millsage and Ikka Dumb Rock.

Players will guide these groups from humble rehearsal studios to stadium stages. The core gameplay loop blends high-energy pop rhythm mechanics with visual novel-style storytelling and collectible gacha cards, expanding upon narratives previously seen in the anime.

New Gameplay and Beta Access

Beyond the standard rhythm experience, the game introduces a new mode titled Gekiso Live. According to the developer, this mode focuses on "combo chains, timing accuracy, and unexpected gameplay twists."

Before the full launch, Bilibili Game is hosting a closed beta test beginning August 6, 2026. The test will be available on both iOS and Android platforms and will support English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. Interested players can sign up by visiting the official website and completing a short questionnaire.

Pre-registration Rewards

Pre-registration is currently live via the official website, the Apple App Store, and the Google Play Store. Reaching the milestone of 500,000 pre-registrations will grant all players enough currency for 20 gacha pulls at launch. Additionally, those who pre-register are entered into a prize draw for physical merchandise.

The game is confirmed for a global launch with language support for English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. Further updates regarding the release are being shared through the game's official Twitter/X account, Facebook page, and Discord server.
