Magi: Aratanaru Sekai 3DS Game's Promo Streamed

Namco Bandai Games began streaming a promotional video on Tuesday for both the “Creation” update for the Magi: Hajimari no Meikyū (Magi: The Labyrinth of Beginnings) 3DS game and the upcoming Magi game, Magi: Aratanaru Sekai (Magi: A Whole New World) for the Nintendo 3DS.

The first part of the trailer teases the upcoming update that will be digitally distributed for free wirelessly for Magi: Hajimari no Meikyū. With the update, new characters will be available to participate in battle, including Kōgyoku Ren (voiced by Kana Hanazawa), Hakuei Ren (Nana Mizuki), Rourou (Kishô Taniyama), and Ja'far (Takahiro Sakurai). A new dungeon will also be added, as well as a few full-voiced parallel story events. The update is scheduled to be available for download on October 2.

The second part of the trailer introduces the upcoming Magi: Aratanaru Sekai video game for the Nintendo 3DS. The trailer hints at “new labyrinths,” “a new story,” and the “power of darkness that will destroy the world.” The game will take place in Magnostadt, and Namco Bandai Games will release the game next spring.

The Magi: The Kingdom of Magic anime will premiere on Sunday, October 6 at 5:00 p.m. (4:00 a.m. EDT). It will be streaming on AniplexChannel.com, Crunchyroll, DAISUKI, and Hulu, "just hours following their original air time in Japan."
