Popular mobile game SINoALICE announced its collaboration with anime Kakeguri xx earlier this month, but its release was only slated for Japan servers up until now. Worldwide servers have now recently gained access to the game so that players can join up with the characters of the notorious anime.
The special Kakeguri xx-themed event will see its main character Little Match Girl transported from the Library of SINoALICE to Hyakkou Private Academy, the hierarchical gambling school Yumeko Jambami attends in the anime. Little Match Girl is forced to become a "pet" after being demoted to the bottom of the school’s hierarchy, but then "another Little Match Girl appears..."
During the event, players will be able to obtain special bonuses that include other characters in the show, like Sayaka Igarashi/Paladin, Kirari Momobami/Sorcerer, Mary Saotome/Crusher, and Little Match Girl/Hyakkaou Private Academy. Fans will be pleased to know that all characters are voiced by their original anime actors.
Interested parties can also sign up for an official Kakeguri xx merch giveaway by following the game’s official social media accounts.
