Moon Princess Origins Returns With New Powers and Features

Returning to its roots, Play’n GO has reintroduced one of its most iconic titles with the launch of Moon Princess Origins, a revamped 5x5 grid slot that unites beloved characters Love, Star, and Storm. This latest entry brings an evolved take on the original 2017 release, layering fresh gameplay mechanics and heightened magical elements atop the familiar framework.

A Reimagined Classic With Elevated Features

Moon Princess Origins invites players to rediscover the enchanting universe where cascading symbols, magical transformations, and high-volatility rewards converge. Though it retains the same grid structure and charming aesthetic that defined the first Moon Princess, the gameplay has been reinvigorated with advanced mechanics and deeper strategy.

Each of the three celestial Princesses possesses an upgraded "Girl Power" ability:

• Love morphs one symbol set into another to enhance match possibilities.
   
• Star summons additional Wilds onto the board.
   
• Storm eliminates two sets of symbols altogether.
   

These powers are activated by winning combinations involving the respective Princess symbols. When multiple are triggered in a single spin, they fire in a set order—Love, followed by Storm, then Star—altering the grid in the player’s favor.

One of the standout enhancements is the Empowerment Mechanic. By matching five or more non-Princess symbols, players empower the related Princess:

• Empowered Love affects multiple symbol transformations,
   
• Empowered Star places more Wilds,
   
• Empowered Storm boosts her clearing range.

Empowerment states are retained until the associated power or feature is used, giving players a more strategic buildup between spins.

Trinity Feature and Free Spins Potential

A core mechanic returning from earlier titles is the Trinity Feature, which activates when all three Princesses contribute to winning combinations within a single spin. Filling the Trinity meter triggers a re-spin sequence that cycles through all three Girl Powers consecutively, creating a high-energy window of opportunity to clear the board.

Clearing all non-Wild symbols from the grid during regular play unlocks 10 Free Spins, with the same mechanics at play. However, in Free Spins mode, each Princess activation recharges the Trinity meter. Fully recharging it can extend the session by another 10 spins, with a maximum of 20 possible.

Perhaps the most electrifying prospect is what happens when the grid is cleared again during Free Spins: a Celestial Orb is awarded, which delivers an instant payout that can range anywhere from 5x to 10,000x the player’s total bet, depending on the Princess who initiated the full clear.

An Homage to the Series With Modern Strategy

This release not only extends the beloved Moon Princess series—which includes Moon Princess 100 and Moon Princess: Power of Love—but also adds depth to Play’n GO’s extensive portfolio of high-performing grid slots.

According to George Olekszy, Play’n GO’s Head of Game Retention, “We know how much players love the Moon Princess series, so returning to the roots with Origins was about honouring that legacy while introducing smart, rewarding upgrades. This one will resonate with loyal fans and new players alike.”

While the title is steeped in nostalgia, Moon Princess Origins distinguishes itself through its layered strategy, dynamic pacing, and potential for massive wins—making it not just a callback, but a bold leap forward in grid slot design.
