Sega has announced a new collaboration between the “MJ” network Mahjong game app and the Pachinko Neon Genesis Evangelion: Roar of the Future machine. This crossover is designed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the anime series. The collaboration will kick off with the SEGA SAMMY PHOENIX MJ Championship, which will be running from September 1-21, 2024. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

Players can participate in preliminary rounds to accumulate points and win exclusive prizes, including special in-game performances featuring voices and desk mats tied to the Evangelion theme. Additionally, a Pachinko x Evangelion Gacha will be available, allowing players to collect items featuring characters like Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami, along with background music from the Evangelion series, including tracks like Cruel Angel’s Thesis.
In related news, a unique collaboration between Godzilla and Evangelion resulted in the creation of a special pachinko machine and a collectible figure. The pachinko game, titled P Godzilla vs Evangelion G Cell Awakening, was first introduced in 2022 as a result of a collaboration between Khara, Toho, Bisty, and Fields. This crossover event featured a physical model, based on the fusion of Evangelion Unit 01 with Godzilla, leading to the design of the “Burning G Awakening Form” figure.
The MJ Mahjong app is available on mobile devices in Japan.
