Second Teaser PV and Key Visual

Noi and Lisabela Form a New Pair
The second key visual places Noi and Lisabela alongside Xylo and Teoritta. KADOKAWA confirms that the game-original duo also share a “contractor and goddess” relationship, although how they meet and intersect with the existing leads remains undisclosed.
The cast comments reveal a little more. Miyu Tomita describes Noi as someone with a very clearly defined personal world and interests, with a contrast between her sharp expression when issuing instructions and her more enthusiastic side when discussing what she likes.
Fuka Izumi describes Lisabela as a goddess who loves “Noi-oneechan” intensely, with an emotional, childlike and highly dependent personality.
PV 2 Confirms a Mobile Game and Original Story
The second teaser introduces the new pair opposite Xylo and Teoritta while confirming that the project is being developed as a mobile game.
Its story takes place in the same universe as the original work, but the game will feature an original scenario supervised by Rocket Shokai. Battle systems, progression, multiplayer elements and monetization have not yet been detailed.
Kivia and Dotta Receive New Game Visuals
Existing franchise characters also received updated game artwork.
Xylo and Teoritta return, while Patausche Kivia and Dotta Luzulas receive their first newly revealed game character visuals. Their anime voice cast is also retained in the character information.
Cast Autograph Campaigns Run in Two Waves
The character reveal is accompanied by campaigns on the game's official X account.
Miyu Tomita's campaign runs from October 3–9, 2026 at 23:59 JST, while Fuka Izumi's runs from October 10–16 at 23:59 JST. Each campaign offers signed shikishi to three winners.
Why This Matters
1) The game is not simply retelling the novel
Rocket Shokai is supervising an original scenario with new characters and relationships.
2) The contractor-and-goddess concept is expanding
Noi and Lisabela create a second pairing that can intersect with Xylo and Teoritta.
3) The platform is finally confirmed
The second teaser establishes Game of the GODDESS as a mobile title for iOS and Android.
