Girls und Panzer mahjong game announced for PS5 and Switch 2

A mahjong spin-off for the tankery series

MAGES. has announced Girls und Panzer Hakunetsu! Mahjong Tag Battle Desu!, a new game based on the Girls und Panzer anime franchise. According to Gematsu, the title is coming to PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 and will launch in Japan in 2027.

The game is described as a tag-team mahjong game, and it will include a story mode and online battles. Further details on gameplay and characters have not yet been shared.

Characters and setting

The game will feature 30 characters, including the Anglerfish Team from Oarai Girls' Academy, the central group in the anime series.

The story takes place after the battle against the All-Stars University Team, in which the students saved their school from closure. In the new plot, the heads of the various tankery schools organise a mahjong tournament between the strongest schools.

Why the schools play mahjong

In the story, the school heads propose mahjong as a way for students to sharpen their tactical thinking and competitive instincts, and as a form of mental training. The idea is that the skills used at the mahjong table mirror those needed in tank battles.

The tournament gains extra stakes because the winning school receives a prize: a wish, granted within reason. Students from each school therefore join the competition with their own personal motives.

What to expect next

MAGES. has asked fans to look forward to more information on gameplay, characters and other details. No release date beyond the 2027 window, no pricing and no Western release plans have been confirmed so far.

Girls und Panzer began as an anime about high school girls who compete in tank battles as a school sport, and the franchise has spawned several games. This mahjong title is an unusual direction for a series known for its armoured combat.
