Nutaku Games have announced they’re localizing the DMM-made browser idol-management RPG, Idol Wars.

The competitive online RPG will be released in English via Nutaku sometime this August. Featured above, you can view a Japanese trailer for the game.

Pre-registration for the game will launch in the coming weeks, fans to roll for early cards, only this time Nutaku is allowing for rarer girls to be available whenever a pre-registration milestone is hit.

Here’s a breakdown on what to expect, via Nutaku:

In Idols Wars, you play the role of a producer on the lookout for new idol talent. Your first task will be to scout for potential girls that fit the bill: choose them by fluff or stats, but make sure your team is balanced enough to be competitive against bosses later on. Developing these divas through training, fighting, and feeding them other units will be one of the foremost ways of progressing through the game’s challenges.

What makes Idol Wars unique for Nutaku is its hardcore multiplayer element, one of the strongest on our site since Angelic Saga. Players will collaborate by joining together in “productions” and helping take down tough enemy bosses, then go on to fight each other in interactive duels where rival pop-groups will face off on opposite sides of the stage. Maintaining a competitive production team will be critical for winning the biggest events, which reward rare characters and prizes.

Idol Wars was just the right mix of weird premise and excellent gameplay to make it a hit in Japan, and we expect North American audiences will be similarly taken with it. We’ll be hosting the game on both Nutaku.com and Nutaku.net, meaning there will be an all-ages and R-18 version. Furthermore, Idol Wars will remain in the hands of the original developers, meaning that the Japanese development team will directly deliver the events and content updates.
