Gakuen Bungo Stray Dogs is an RPG adventure game aimed at younger players. It features characters based on well-known authors – like Nakajima Atsushi, Dazai Osamu, Oda Sakunosuke, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke – who are students at a lively school. The game lets you see what their everyday school lives are like, something you don’t get to see in the original series.

Get ready! The game ‘Bungou Stray Dogs: School Edition’ launches on November 6th! We’re counting down to release with character PVs, and today we’re excited to share the video for Fyodor D. (voiced by Akira Ishida). Check it out on YouTube: [link]

This game is inspired by the popular manga and anime series, Bungo Stray Dogs. You’ll encounter characters you recognize, reimagined as students and teachers. If you’re not familiar with the series, it was created by Kafka Asagiri. A unique feature is that each character is named after a famous author, and their special abilities are connected to that author’s works.

Players can engage in strategic battles, uncover secrets, and more

I never expected to be playing a mobile game based on Bungo Stray Dogs, but I’m really enjoying it! The story begins when you meet Nakajima Atsushi and get pulled into a strange adventure after following a black cat into a forbidden building. This leads you to the Underworld, a bizarre place where reality is distorted, and your unique journey starts.

I’m really excited about this game! You get to play through the main story with a ton of different characters – over 20, actually – and you’re part of this club called the Twilight Investigation Club where you uncover all sorts of secrets about the school. Plus, the battles look like a lot of fun, and they even have an auto mode which is a nice touch! It seems like there’s so much to do with mini-games, adorable chibi art, full voice acting, and beautiful original illustrations. It’s looking really promising!

The mobile game will be released in Japan on November 6, 2025, for both Android and iOS. Pre-registration is now open on the Google Play Store and App Store. More information about when the game will be available worldwide will be announced soon.
