Ritsuko Imai, the band’s main singer and composer, leads the team with the same determination that made her a star, despite hiding deep fragilities beneath a sparkling public image. By her side is the young Hina Yamano, impulsive, rebellious, and always ready to push the group in bold new directions, while Akane Hyuga, one of the band’s founders, serves as the steady hand and strategic mind of the group. 

Beyond reclaiming their place in the spotlight, Strike Force Romanda is driven by a motivation that goes far beyond fame and glory. As players dive into the Screamer Tournament, they’ll discover the team’s journey is fueled by deeply personal reasons. 

Scheduled for release in 2026, Screamer will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
