BanG Dream! Our Notes sets global mobile beta for August 6
BanG Dream! Our Notes opens global pre-registration now, with an August 6 closed beta on Android and iOS and a 500,000-user reward tied to 20 gacha pulls.
BanG Dream! Our Notes now has a real entry point for global players: closed beta testing starts August 6 on Android and iOS, and pre-registration is already live. That puts the mobile rhythm game squarely in the pre-launch window, with a clear chance to sample it before the 2026 release lands.
The timing matters because Bilibili Game is not treating this as a Japan-first curiosity anymore. The global version was officially revealed on February 28, 2026 and published and distributed by bilibili game on March 2, with launch support planned for Traditional Chinese, English, and Korean. The beta sign-up push broadens that even further, with applications opening in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, and Korean.
For Bandori fans, the hook is not just access timing. Our Notes is built around GEKISO LIVE, a rhythm system that folds in new sections, combo chains, timing accuracy, and gameplay twists to make performances feel more active on mobile. The game also adds real-time multiplayer co-play for up to five performers and an ASSIST MODE aimed at newcomers, which should make it easier for first-timers to survive the first songs without bouncing off the charting.
The roster is also doing heavy lifting here. The project centers on five girls’ bands and 25 characters, led by MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica, then expanding into Mugendai MewType, millsage, and Ikka Dumb Rock!. All in-game story content is fully voiced, and the release plan still includes original songs, cover tracks, and cross-media ties to TV anime, theatrical films, and large live events.
Pre-registration adds a concrete incentive to get in early. One milestone at 500,000 users unlocks STAR rewards equivalent to 20 gacha pulls at launch, and players who sign up through the official website and app stores can enter a lucky draw for prizes. Bilibili Game is also lining the title up for Anime Expo 2026, AGCHK, and Seoul POPCON 2026, a sign it wants the game in front of players well before launch day.
That is why August 6 matters now: the beta is the first real check on whether GEKISO LIVE, the global localization, and the Bandori formula can carry beyond its home base. The project marked its 10th anniversary on February 28, 2025, and this rollout shows the franchise is still being pushed as a live mobile brand, not a nostalgia act.
