Pre-release
The game is being published by Compile Heart, the successor to the original Compile who created the Madou Monogatari franchise. Since D4 Enterprises and Sega are collaborating on this title, characters from both Puyo Puyo and Madou Monogatari are planned to appear in the full game. Sting, the developing company, apparently has many connections to Compile as well.[4]
In an interview with gaming website Touch Arcade about the release of Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop with the Puyo Puyo series producer Mizuki Hosoyamada, he mentioned that he was involved in the production of Madou Monogatari 4. At the time of writing, he mentioned reviewing the characters included in the game.[5]
The game's finalized title, Madou Monogatari: Fia and the Mysterious School (魔導物語 フィアと不思議な学校 Madō monogatari fia to fushigi na gakkō) was announced in a Weekly Famitsu issue that was previewed on July 9th, 2024.[2]
