I*Chu: Chibi Edition release date

Thanks to PQube, we have the western release date for I*Chu: Chibi Edition. The rhythm action idol adventure game launches on October 3, 2024.

PQube announced that it would be localizing I*Chu: Chibi Edition back in March. However, no release window was given at the time.

If you’re looking for more information about the game, read the following overview:

Splatoon 3’s big Grand Festival event has wrapped up, ending the game’s primary content cycle (save for maybe a couple of repeat Splatfests). During the event, all players were moved over to an exclusive Grand Festival venue instead of the standard Splatsville, Inkopolis Square, or Inkopolis Plaza hub. The seven idols took turns performing their music during the event, too. The Grand Festival venue had a ton of work put into it, and so it’d be a shame if it weren’t accessible again after the event. Fortunately, you can still go back even though the event has ended. All you need is a certain amiibo.

During the event, the entire experience can be accessed at no extra cost. All progress can be transferred to the full version if you choose to purchase it.
