Revival of a Legend: "Avalon Academy Forever"
STUDIO FRONTIER has officially launched the highly anticipated smartphone game application, "Avalon Academy Forever"!
Originally released in 2004 as a multi-player RPG for NTT DoCoMo's i-mode, the original "Avalon Academy" was groundbreaking for its time. It allowed players to embark on adventures, trade items, and send messages, paving the way for social gaming in Japan long before smartphones became commonplace. Its innovative features earned it the top ranking in gaming magazines repeatedly, marking its popularity.
A Reimagined Experience
The new "Avalon Academy Forever" has been meticulously redeveloped, led by the original main programmer along with the original development team. This remake transforms the game into a single-player RPG, providing an extraordinary revival of a classic that highlights the essence of its mobile roots.
Maintaining its charm, the graphics and sound closely mirror those of the original. The game also enhances the final version with character face windows and includes previously unavailable graphics. Adjustments have been made for game balance across all seven chapters, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience.
Whether you're a long-time fan of "Avalon Academy" or just discovering it now, don’t miss this chance to journey back to the golden era of mobile gaming! It's noteworthy that STUDIO FRONTIER is an independent brand focused on individual game development.

Unique Gameplay Features
A Blend of Genres
Set in a whimsical and somewhat chaotic fantastical school environment, "Avalon Academy Forever" is a mix of comedy, drama, and RPG elements. Each chapter introduces players to new characters and relationships while sharpening their bonds within the fantastical realm of Avalon Academy. The heart of the game lies in the academy itself, a sanctuary for players as they embark on their quests.
Action Slot System
The game features a unique combat system called the "Action Slot System," where pixel-art characters engage in exciting battles. Players select actions from a list, incorporating learned skills, magic, and even health-replenishing items. With limited action slots, players must strategize akin to building a deck in a card game, adding depth to the combat experience. The "Action Shout" feature allows players to personalize their commands during battle, creating a lively atmosphere.
Nostalgic UI Design
Incorporating a UI reminiscent of flip phones, the game allows players to select their actions during battles quickly, promoting a fast-paced gameplay experience. You can toggle settings to arrange command buttons and adjust the layout, adding to the retro charm.
Character Class Representations
The game showcases various character classes with gender-specific designs, appealing to a wide range of players. Each character class — such as Fighter, Grappler, Scout, Mystic, and Sorcerer — presents different skills and abilities, promising diverse gameplay and strategy.
Join the Game Campaign
In a special initiative called "Be a Part of Avalon!", players can submit names for NPCs within the game. This campaign seeks to engage the community actively, reminiscent of how the original game encouraged player-generated content. To participate, follow STUDIO FRONTIER on X and use the designated hashtag to submit names, gender, comments, and action shouts.
