Medabots S is preparing to leave Japan, with Imagineer opening global pre-registration for the iOS and Android game ahead of a planned 21 January 2027 release.

The date comes from the game’s App Store listing, while the international rollout was announced by the official Medabots S account and reported by Anime News Network. Android availability and store timing can still vary by territory.

The classic robot-battling series goes mobile

The game originally launched in Japan as Medarot S: Unlimited Nova in January 2020. Its global release gives the long-running franchise a fresh route to players who know the anime but have not had access to the Japanese mobile title.

What players can expect

Imagineer’s mobile line-up has previously included Medabots Survivors, which launched globally in February. The new release is a separate title, and the available announcement does not confirm a global launch for every feature or collaboration present in Japan.

Availability and caveats

Pre-registration is open ahead of the listed January date. The checked sources do not provide a global pricing model, confirmed launch regions beyond worldwide, or a detailed English-language service schedule.

Our opinion

The prospect of a global Medabots S release is more interesting than a routine mobile port because the franchise’s robot customisation is a natural fit for a phone game. The key question is whether Imagineer can make the international service welcoming without burying its best parts under aggressive monetisation.

For now, the announcement earns a place on the mobile watchlist: the date is concrete, pre-registration is open, and fans finally have a route into a game that has been Japan-only for years.
