Good Smile Company has shared details about Nekopara Sekai Connect. The company will release the new game worldwide for PC and mobile devices in 2026.
The Japanese official website and the repurposed English social media account confirm that this title is replacing Yostar’s Nekoparaiten. Yostar will still help promote this new game, but Good Smile Company and Neko Works will be the ones taking primary production roles.
The story of Nekopara Sekai Connect will focus on the global catgirl popularity contest festival. Recurring series characters from Patisserie La Soleil, such as Chocola and Vanilla, will still appear here. However, the game will also feature more characters from various catgirl academies around the world.
Good Smile Company revealed the catgirls affiliated with each academy:
- Sakuragaoka Catgirl Academy (Japan-themed): Mikan, Yuzuha, and Sakura
- Jinhua Felidae Institute (Asia-themed): Lamut, Mamelo, and Fengli
- Gertrude Catgirl Institute (Europe-themed): Cannelé, Sorbet, and Sablé
- Great Catgirl Institute of Bastet (Africa-themed): Ackee, Palmyra, and Akhduth
- Nekos Youth Academy (North America-themed): Lycorice, Donut, and Muffin
The company also published an official trailer for Nekopara Sekai Connect on its Japanese YouTube channel. It features the theme song “Cute Domination,” which is sung by Shigure’s voice actress, M-A-O.
In addition, the company slipped in another announcement to remake the existing Nekopara visual novels as Nekopara Love Project for iOS and Android mobile devices. All six titles from Vol.0 to Extra will gradually release from Summer 2025 with an all-new voice cast.
Good Smile Company and Neko Works will publish Nekopara Sekai Connect worldwide in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese for iOS, Android, and PC via Steam in Spring 2026. The game will also have a dedicated booth at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on July 3-6, 2025, and Comic Market 106 in Tokyo on August 16-17, 2025.
