Proxima Beta Pte. Ltd. launched the KALEIDO Test for Chasing Kaleid Rider on July 16, 2026. The test introduces a limited S-rank character, Misty, available through the limited call 'Tide and Flame.' Misty's appearance rate is boosted, and reaching Navigator level 25 unlocks her patrol event 'And So, the Hero Departed.' The test also opens all three chapters of the main story: the Past Arc, School Arc, and Band Arc. Players can build bonds with the 15 available Kaleid Riders, including Prome, Akiko, Jormunga, and Yang, and take them on dates to locations like the aquarium, amusement park, and shopping mall. Intimacy mechanics allow for confessions at max level. Additional limited-time events such as 'Navigator License' and 'Charge into Terminus' offer login rewards. The game is in development for iOS/Android and PC as a free-to-play title with item monetization. A release date has not been announced.
The KALEIDO Test is set in the near-future city Terminus, where the real world and the mental world "Sea of Consciousness" overlap in an "Intersection Phenomenon." Monsters called Kanju, born from people's negative emotions, invade the city. Players take the role of a Navigator wielding the Kaleid Vision, guiding bike-riding girls known as Kaleid Riders into battle.
The test opens two types of character calls: the limited call "Tide and Flame," which boosts Misty's appearance rate, and the permanent call "First Light," which includes 15 riders. Two bike calls are also available: the limited "Rain and Fire" and the permanent "Motorcycle Show."
Beyond the events listed in the test announcement, the test includes additional limited-time campaigns: "Navigation Start," "Wandering Moments," and "Heart-Pounding Confession." All offer login rewards.
Romance interactions go beyond dates and confessions. The game includes immersive "whispers" and "relaxation" activities, described as ways to enjoy a realistic dating experience. The test began at 11:00 on July 16, 2026.
