## Gameplay[edit]

The player acts as a producer in 765 Production. Unlike previous works in the Idolmaster series, the storyline is reconstructed[4] and has no connection with other works. However, the idols' personalities and looks remain unchanged.[5]

In the game, 765 Production is a small-scale talent agency. The manager decides to hold a training camp for the idols. The player is the producer, and he is required to communicate with idols and lead their training to go to the final stage.[6]

## Development[edit]

At the 2013 SCEJA Press Conference, Bandai Namco Entertainment announced that a PlayStation 4 Idolmaster game would be made.[7] Afterwards, a game promotion video was played at The Idolmaster Master of Idol World!! concert in July 2015. In January 2016, Famitsu revealed the name of the video game,[7] and announced that 60% of the game had been developed.[5]

## Reception[edit]

The game received a score of 34 out of 40 from the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu.[8]
