New Aquaplus Game Took 3 Years to Write

Naoya Shimokawa, on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, stated that next week, Aquaplus will finish a new story that it’d been working on for the past three years. While the game won’t have an official release date or anything until far in the future, he’s happy that Aquaplus finished it before the 30th anniversary and will be able to show a little bit of it during the event.

For those who don’t know, Naoya Shimokawa is the president and representative director of Aquaplus. Aside from that title, he is also a music composer. He’s worked on the music arrangement for the To Heart TV show. As well, he worked on the theme songs and music for shows like White Album 2 and Utawarerumono: The False Faces. Aquaplus, on the other hand, specializes in publishing and distributing visual novels (including adult ones). Some of the games it published include Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, and Utawarerumono: ZAN 2.

There’s not a lot of information about the new game Aquaplus is working on. Most of the replies to his Tweet are positive though, with fans saying they’re excited and that they’ll always support Shimokawa and Aquaplus. Some possibilities include a completely new title, or a new entry in either the To Heart or Utawarerumono series. In any case, we’ll know more about it next month.

More information on the new Aquaplus game will likely come out during the 30th anniversary event. It’ll run from November 9 to 10, 2024 at the Yokohama Buntai in Japan.
