Negima News: Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Mahora Panic Gacha Game!
Negima! Magister Negi Magi Mahora Panic is a brand new Negima-themed gacha game released by G123, a company known for releasing similar game with other popular franchises. This was announced a few months ago, but the game is now live and in several languages! This is a browser game that can be played on PC, and select Apple and Android products.
The game is free with in-app purchases and has several timed events and character pulls. The game has notable positives, including brand new art not only of the main cast, but minor supporting characters, a place for fans around the globe to socialize and play together, and bringing attention to a series that ended over a decade ago.
However, there are some issues we feel we need to address before we encourage you to play this game. As mentioned before, this is a freenium game, so while it is free to play, is heavily encourages purchases with very real currency to not only progress smoothly, but to also not miss out on timed rare character drops, as well as frequent pop-ups and level rankings. You will find yourself hitting walls in progression without sinking real money in to speed things up and while there are some purchases for below $5 USD, others are over $100. So before trying it yourself, please take note, if you feel you are susceptible to overspending and/or gambling, please consider if you want to invest in this game. While gacha games are not legally considered to be gambling in many countries, there are still studies being conducted and it is best to be safe and consider the risks.
Keep in mind, this game is a live service and when the servers shut down, you will not keep anything spent with real currency. If you are interested in the story or gameplay, it is admittedly bleak on that front. Strategy does play a key, but at the end of the day, this is an idle game and as for story, there really is not one. If you are playing in English, what story there is, unfortunately, is poorly translated.
We understand we went over several issues with the game, but we genuinely are happy to see the franchise is not dead and it has brought a resurgence to the franchise! It is exciting to see a brand new game in 2025, but at the end of the day, you are more important than a game, so do what is best for you!
We will be posting art and other assets from the game in its own section on the site in the near future. If you would like to see gameplay of the first full chapter of the game, you can check out our video here. There is an official Discord server for talking with other fans, discussing the game, and reporting bugs. That server invite can be found here. We also have a channel for game discussion in our own Discord. If you have questions about the game, you can ask on either server!
The link to the English version of the game can be found here!
Keep in mind, you need to choose a server wisely! If your friends are playing in a different server than you, you will need to reset your progress as your data is stored on the individual server!
