PQube Asia’s showcase was today, and I decided to save my blog post so that I could cover any exciting news from it.
It was a fairly short showcase, so feel free to check out the entire thing since I’ll only be covering the major highlights for me.
They provided welcome updates on titles like Bustafellows 2 (still no release date, though) and Genso Manege, and then they also had some new announcements… including one I’ve been waiting for.
Back in 2021 when we discussed Raging Loop, I mentioned an unlocalized visual novel set in the same universe called Death Match Love Comedy.
Well, it’s happening. PQube is bringing DMLC west for PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox in 2025.
Death Match Love Comedy is a visual novel about a boy who is cursed so that if someone confesses love to him, he explodes. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, and I expect it to be very different in tone from Raging Loop.
Nevertheless, I’m so happy that we’re finally getting it.
They also announced a new visual novel from Mages, Iwakura Aria, which also looks like one I should keep an eye on. It’ll be out in 2025 for PC and Switch, and the trailer has a very haunting atmosphere.
So while there weren’t any new otome announcements, I’m happy with what we got. Now all that remains is the Game Awards tomorrow, to see if any exciting news awaits us there…
What did you think of PQube’s announcements?
Death Match Love Comedy sounds ridiculous, I’m in xD
Iwakura Aria is giving me some House in Fata Morgana vibes.
Haha, it really does.
I’d be lying if I said the Fata Morgana vibes weren’t what caught my attention the most, haha. The trailer had to come in the midst of my renewed obsession.
