A Message from the BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! EN Team

Dear Players,

Thank you for your constant support of "BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!".

First of all, we would like to apologize for the spate of in-game errors over the past couple of months, including recent content delays.
Though we've always sought to compensate our player-base and resolve issues as soon as we could, the user experience has fallen short of our expectations for the game, and we are taking this matter very seriously on our end.

In the past couple of months, we have been undergoing a transfer of developers in order to continue delivering the game service to all our players. Due to the many moving parts involved in this process, there have been lapses in our content delivery, which we are still working persistently on restoring. We apologize again for the inconveniences, and hope for everyone's kind patience and understanding.

We understand players are also looking forward eagerly to the MyGO!!!!! content update, which we previously announced would be released on July 31, but has since been rescheduled to a later date. We apologize for the delay, as well as the current period without any ongoing in-game events, as our new developers are working as hard as they can on preparing the MyGO!!!!! content update. In order to get it to everyone as soon as possible, we have prioritized its development instead of bringing another in-game event forward in schedule.

Please rest assured that we remain committed to providing a game service that everyone can enjoy as our highest priority, bringing the story of these band members from Japanese to the global audience.
We will continue to operate the game to the best of our abilities, and we hope to bring good news regarding MyGO!!!!!'s launch soon.

Thank you all once again for your continuous support, and we hope you continue to enjoy playing "BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!"

[August 21 Update]

 
Dear Players,
Thank you for your patience with us over the past three weeks as we worked on resolving the issues with the MyGO!!!!! content update.

When we made our previous announcement on August 8, we had optimistically estimated that we would be able to resolve the development issues behind the content update, and release MyGO!!!!! within the month.
However, following further development investigation, we discovered that the issues required more time to resolve than we had expected. While our development team has resolved most of the technical issues by this stage, we would like to take more time to polish up the product, and also fix some of the existing issues regarding the game user interface translations and rendering.

Over the past couple of weeks, we've received both positive and negative feedback regarding this period without an event running. As such, we have decided that we will bring the following event first on August 26, as this event has no event story and has already been ready to be released.

Aug. 26 - Sep. 3: Event "Spinning A Valentine's Prelude With You"
*Note that this event has no event story in the original Japanese version and all content has been localized accordingly.

Please be assured that our development team is continuing to work on MyGO!!!!!'s contents, and the MyGO!!!!! event will be scheduled to run after the above event once it's ready.
Further compensation for the delay will be announced together with the event when we have a confirmation on the release date.

We apologize for the inconveniences caused and would appreciate your understanding and support.
We hope you continue to enjoy playing the game.

[August 22 Update]

 
Dear Players,
 
Following further developer investigation, we have run into an unexpected error that was previously not known while trying to run the following event on the current build:
Event "Spinning A Valentine's Prelude With You"
 
Since the discovery of this unexpected error, the development team has been urgently trying to find a solution. We believe that this error is due to the event not having a story, and despite our best efforts to resolve it, we will be unable to run the event until the game version has been updated to v7.6.
 
As such, we have no choice but to return to our original plan of having no events until the MyGO!!!!! content update is ready.
We sincerely apologise for the confusion caused, and the disappointment this announcement may bring.
 
Our current target for the content update is within the month of September, and our development team is working hard on delivering the contents as soon as possible. We will continue investigating ways to deliver more contents during this period.
Further compensation for the delay will be announced together with the event when we have a confirmation on the release date.
 
Once again, we apologize for the inconveniences caused and would appreciate your understanding and support.
We hope you continue to enjoy playing the game.
