The Return of 'Uta Macross'

In a thrilling announcement, AUGUST Inc., based in Tokyo, Japan, revealed plans to revive its popular rhythm game, 'Uta Macross', originally released as 'Uta Macross Smartphone De Culture'. This new iteration will be available on Steam, iOS, and Android. Fans will be excited to learn that a crowdfunding campaign is set to launch on September 10, 2026, aiming to expand the game's content and accessibility for players.

A Revamped Offline Experience

The new 'Uta Macross' will encompass characters and songs from various franchises within the 'Macross' universe, including iconic titles like 'Macross Frontier' and 'Macross Delta'. Players can expect to dive into a diverse collection of beloved songs while enjoying a richly restructured gameplay system. Unlike the touch-based controls of the original smartphone version, the new game is being designed to provide seamless gameplay with keyboard and mouse support, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience.

Music and Art Content

The base package will feature around 50 well-selected tracks, including fan-favorite songs, alongside more than 1,000 exclusive illustrations. For those eager to customize their gaming experience, character outfits are also included, offering more than 20 types from the start. The game will allow players to engage with a free gacha system, enhancing the rarity of plates—and giving fans another chance to access previously unattainable special performances.

In addition to the fundamental package, multiple DLCs are planned to release simultaneously, featuring more songs, plates, and outfits from the original game.
