Mistonia no Kibou -The Lost Delight- [English title pending]
A tale filled with love and fixation, woven together by those who carry the blood of the fairies. The story takes place in Grand Alvion, a kingdom thriving under the rule of the fairy queen, in an era where light and shadow coexist. On the outskirts of the capital city stands a noble residence belonging to a prestigious family, where a newly-hired maid is about to set foot onto the property: our heroine, Applause.
Having lost everything eight years prior, she swore to take revenge on those responsible. Under a false identity, she begins her search for the truth as she works at the mansion belonging to a potential target for her vengeance. What secrets will she unearth upon her chance encounters with the distinguished noblemen who protect the kingdom? What path will she choose? And so begins the revenge tragedy of a girl bound by a hapless fate.
Release Date: TBA 2025
Utakata no Uchronia [English title pending]
Welcome to the renowned and prosperous utopia, the flying city of Itehari. Our protagonist is Hinagiku, a noble lady from a distinguished family who longs for the world beyond the floating city. One day, Hinagiku, having just turned 18 years old, encounters an amnesiac man named Yashiro. Their fortuitous meeting becomes the catalyst that drags her into a series of events involving the secrets and various truths hidden beneath the surface of this beautiful utopia.
Release Date: TBA 2025
In addition to these exciting new titles and Switch ports, Aksys has also revealed the release date and release window for Virche Evermore: Epic Lycoris and Despera Drops.
| Title | Release Date |
| Virche Evermore: Epic Lycoris | November 7, 2024 |
| Despera Drops | Spring 2025 |
Furthermore, a few non-otome games were also announced during the panel. These games are as follows:
Ed-0: Zombie Uprising (PS5® physical only/October 10)
Experience the year 1854 in a fictional Edo-era Japan in this action rogue-like title! A mysterious Black Ship makes landfall, not bringing with it technology and trade, but something much more deadly. With the end of isolation, a new wave of zombies are created, and the infestation now runs rampant. Amid the madness, a group of fighters with the mysterious power to resist the zombie mutation, the “Zom-beings,” appear. The hunt begins as they fight to restore Edo to its days before the invasion. But don’t be fooled, this won’t be an easy stroll through town; without leveling up the strength and power of the “Zom-beings” and honing your combat skills, you’ll face defeat, and Edo will be lost forever.
Raging Bytes (Nintendo Switch/PS5 physical only/December 12)
Can you survive the raging bytes? Set in a zombie-ravaged America, Ben and Barbra must fight their way through waves of monsters while running into other uninfected survivors along the way. With difficulty levels for all kinds of players, dive into this post-apocalyptic world in turn-based battles! This story-driven RPG full of drama and pixels pays homage to the classic horror movies of the 1970’s and was planned, drafted and supervised by Jiro Ishii, praised for titles such as 428: Shibuya Scramble.
Zero to Dance Hero (Nintendo Switch/November)
Learn to dance from zero! Start from the basics with real dance lessons covering 30 popular hip-hop steps. By learning each dance in bite-sized stages, even beginners can easily learn to dance well! The more hands-on Free Mode includes six original choreographed dances in a variety of musical genres. Keep the beat and enjoy the fruits of your training with catchy background music! Many support features keep you motivated as you become a dance hero!

Yes! I am so happy and shocked that they announced Utakata No Uchronia and The Lost Delight! When I saw the release for those two on the Japanese eshop I was REALLY hoping we’d get them at some point but I wasn’t expecting the announcement so soon ❤ Hopefully we’ll get Shiro to kuro no Alice, Nil Admirai no Tenbin and Clock Zero too at some point because I’ve been dying to play those for so long lol.

7 scarlet has been on steam since 2019. Would this be purely a port to the switch? Otherwise you could get it literally today on steam.

Yay I am looking forward to those games!! Maybe I can give a try to play 7’Scarlet! It made me wonder tho since 7’scarlet is one of the oldest games and it got picked (again). Do you think there’s a tiny hope or idk a chance for older games to be localized? (Wand of fortune, KLAP and other older games ported for switch). I really want to know why they won’t pick the older games (they’re in high demand) except for 7’scarlet? :((
Would it be possible to have a petition or an email, to let those companies know that we’re interested in the older games?

I would eat my proverbial hat if KLAP ever got localized.. I think that one is considered a bit too kinky for the west. (But I’d preorder that asap if it did)
But there has been some suprises in what gets brought over during the years… but alot of the time its the same games being ported to all the things.

considering the release of older otomes such as 7scarlet, Jack Jeane and Hakuoki I would love so much to see the series Hiiro no Kakera being ported T_T together with other emblematic older otomes of course!
