Prepare for Battle

Fans of Hololive are in for an epic treat as Hololive's subsidiary brand, holo Indie, announces the launch of the much-anticipated game, Hololive Fantasy Battle. Developed by G-Blossom, this 2.5D action-packed brawler is set to release on August 7, 2026, for both Nintendo Switch and Steam platforms.

Get Ready for a 7-Day Launch Sale

To celebrate the launch, CCMC is hosting a limited-time promotional sale offering a 25% discount from the regular price of ¥2,000. For just ¥1,500, players can dive into the chaotic battlefield where the Hololive 3rd generation talents clash for the coveted title of 'Queen.'

Characters and Game Features

Hololive Fantasy Battle features popular talents from Hololive, including Usada Pekora, Shirakami Fubuki, Shirogane Noel, and Houshou Marine. Each character battles for the Queen's Throne, making use of their distinct abilities and a variety of stage gimmicks to secure victory. The vibrant illustrations in the game are crafted by the talented artist Komainu, showcasing the lively personalities of these beloved characters.

Simple Yet Engaging Mechanics

With an easy-to-learn control scheme focusing on just movement and attack, players can swiftly adapt to the thrilling combat environment. Collect Akasupla Weapons (red super weapons) during gameplay, which drastically alter attack styles. Special moves such as the ‘Solo Live’ skill may turn the tide of battle, allowing for exciting comeback opportunities.

The game boasts two main modes: Online Battle and Nisemono Hunter. The Online Battle mode allows up to four players to engage in intense combat, while Nisemono Hunter pits players against fake versions of the 3rd generation talents and their fans. Players can team up with NPCs or collaborate online by entering room codes to connect with friends.

Moreover, the game features a Rescue Mechanic, allowing players to assist fallen teammates during battle, enhancing the cooperative aspect of gameplay. Additionally, cross-play support between the Steam and Nintendo Switch versions ensures that players from different platforms can join forces.

Equip Powerful Skills for Competitive Edge

Players can arm their characters with Quote Skills, inspired by memorable phrases from Hololive talents. These skills provide unique effects that can enhance attack or defense strategies. Notably, voice lines from characters outside the 3rd generation, like Tokino Sora and Laplus Darkness, can also be equipped, adding variety to gameplay. This brings a fresh twist to the battles, and allows players to adopt different styles that suit their preferences.

Upcoming Costume Additions

To further enrich the gaming experience, additional costumes for the characters will be released over time. Customizing characters with various outfits not only adds visual flair but also enhances gameplay enjoyment.

Developer Insights

A representative from G-Blossom’s development team expressed their excitement about creating a game where Hololive’s 3rd generation talents can truly shine. Initially planned to reuse animations for efficiency, the project evolved into a rich tapestry of original animations, expressions, and attacks. Adding features like Quote Skills and a cooperative PvE mode enriched the game beyond their expectations.
