The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom Switch Otome Game Will Appear in English

Operahouse announced that its Switch otome game The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom will be released in English outside Japan. The official release is confirmed, but the date wasn’t announced just yet. 

The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom builds on the light novel and manga’s story, concept, and characters. It is an isekai tale about a heroine who realizes she’s now the villainess of an otome game called Ring of Lapis Lazuli that she played. Instead of getting her “bad ending,” she ends up being approached and saved by the titular prince from the neighboring kingdom. The series is still running in Japan and hasn’t been picked up for an English release yet, and the Japanese version of the game adaptation only launched in March 2024. 

Here’s the official trailer from the Japanese version of The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom Switch otome game. It goes over the major characters, like the heroine Tiararose, Aquasteed, Hartknights, and Akari. 

Following the announcement, Operahouse also took to social media to share some official art from the game. While the first one shows Hartnight and Akari together, the others show Tiararose with Aquasteed. It also offered a summary of the original volume of the series it is based on and confirmed there will be Japanese voice acting with English text.

The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom will come to the Nintendo Switch worldwide, and the otome game is already available in Japan.
