It\u2019s already April Fools\u2019 Day in Japan, and Cygames has released a Princess Connect!<\/em>-themed auto battler called Priconne! Grand Masters<\/strong><\/em> for iOS and Android in Japan. The game is free to download and will become playable on April 1 at 12:00 JST. Please note that the service is available for only a week (until April 8 at 16:59 JST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priconne! Grand Masters<\/em> is an auto battler featuring characters from Princess Connect! Re:Dive<\/em>, but with cute chibi character models. 8 players will compete against each other in each match consisting of multiple rounds of 1v1 battles. Each round plays out like a standard auto battler where you place your units onto a hex map and watch the battle unfold automatically.

While the genre is different, it\u2019s definitely Princess Connect!<\/em> with characters like Pecorine, Kiruya, Kokkoro, Hiyori, Rei, and Yui making an appearance. The game will feature an original story as well. Although it\u2019s a limited-time April Fools\u2019 project, it\u2019s interesting to see Cygames testing out a new genre using their popular IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
