Aqours, a brand new school idol group, officially joined the game

Love Live! Most fans of the Academy Idol Festival are no strangers to Aqours. Players can already experience the group's songs and redeemed member stickers. The new version update marks the official debut of Aqours, and also brings a lot of new content, such as the brand new recruitment of top students and the main plot of Aqours.

Unlocking the main plot of Aqours has nothing to do with the level, so that both old and new players can access the latest content. All stories, in-game lines, and voice are done by Aquours members themselves.
