Nekopa Mobile Game Nekoparaiten is Back as Nekopara Sekai Connect also for PC

Remember Nekoparaiten? It was a mobile game dedicated to the popular Nekopara franchise of visual novels by Neko Works. It was announced several years ago with Yostar as the publisher and then it simply went under the radar.

Today we learn that it’s back with a new title, Nekopara Sekai Connect, co-developed by Neko Works and Good Smile Company (which apparently has decided to dive head-first into gaming), while Yostar will take care of promotion alongside GSC.

The game will launch in Japan in spring 2026 and English and Chinese are also planned, but will come after the Japanese version is released.

It’ll be available for PC via Steam, iOS, and Android. Incidentally, the official X account has simply been renamed, but it’s the same one that was used for Nekoparaiten.
