A promotional video hosted by KOEI Tecmo Games has announced its latest work: the Angelique romance simulation game series! The game’s full name, Angelique Luminarise, will debut on the Nintendo Switch system in 2021. Manga creator Ichi Sayo (from Monster & Parent, Foggy Foot) is designing the characters.
The cast will include:
- Shinba Tsuchiya as Yue
- Hiroki Nanami as Noah
- Yū Miyazaki as Vergil
- Takeo Ōtsuka as Kanata
- Takuya Satō as Shuri
- Shōhei Komatsu as Milan
- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Xeno
- Yūto Uemura as Felix
- Ryota Takeuchi as Lorenzo
The game’s story centers on Ange, a 25-year-old single office worker who is constantly tired and uncertain of her life. One day, she decides to get a bit tipsy at a local bar and receives an offer to change jobs. Thinking it a joke, she casually signs a contract, and is immediately greeted by a young man riding a pegasus descending from the sky, who calls her a “Queen Candidate” with nine Guardians.
The game was previously slated to ship this year. The game will be the first all-new game in the franchise in 17 years, and takes place in a “third universe.” The first Angelique game launched in 1994 as “the world’s first love game for women.” The franchise has also inspired a novel, several manga adaptations, drama CDs, as well as multiple video anime and television anime.
