If you're a longtime fan of Sanrio characters or still cherish Hello Kitty and her adorable crew, you're in for a treat. A brand-new mobile game titled Hello Kitty Friends Match has just soft-launched, developed by LINE Games and their partner studio Super Awesome.
Where Is Hello Kitty Friends Match Available?
The game is currently live in two regions: the Philippines and Canada. For players elsewhere, there's good news—a full global release is scheduled for early 2025. If you're not in one of the launch regions yet, you can already pre-register via the Google Play Store to ensure you don’t miss out when it arrives.
Yes, another match-3 puzzle title might not sound exciting at first, but Hello Kitty Friends Match brings a few thoughtful twists that set it apart from the crowd.
One standout feature? It’s designed to be played in landscape mode, which is a refreshing change from the usual vertical layout. This gives you more screen space and a better view of the board. Plus, the icons are larger than average, making them easier to see and tap—no more squinting at tiny tiles.
Welcome to Dreamland
The gameplay kicks off in a whimsical world called Dreamland, where Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and other beloved Sanrio friends are on an adventure. Their goal? To gather magical star power to rebuild their dream home.
This charming setup blends light storytelling with casual puzzle gameplay, giving players a gentle narrative thread to follow as they progress through levels.
Collect Your Friends and Customize Them
Another fun element of the game is its collectible character system. You’ll unlock and collect 10 different Sanrio characters, each with their own unique style and personality.
In addition, you can equip your characters with over 100 costumes, allowing for plenty of customization. And if you pre-register now—even if the game isn’t available in your region yet—you may get exclusive costume rewards.
What Does This Mean for LINE Games?
This marks LINE Games’ first major mobile release of the year, and it looks like a cozy, colorful experience perfect for fans of both Sanrio and relaxing puzzle games.
So whether you're looking for a chill way to unwind or want to reunite with some childhood favorites, Hello Kitty Friends Match is worth keeping an eye on. Be sure to pre-register or grab it from the Google Play Store once it launches globally.
