My Next Life as a Villainess and Sympathy Kiss Otome Games Leaving Japan

Idea Factory International announced two Switch otome games at Anime Expo 2023, Sympathy Kiss and My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance-. The former is an original visual novel. It will debut digitally and physically in 2024. However, the My Next Life as a Villainess one, which is inspired by the novel, light novel, manga, and anime of the same name, will appear in Winter 2023.

The My Next Life as a Villainess otome game is a spin-off story with both existing and original characters. It picks off during Catarina’s school life. While on a trip with the possible love interests from the game Fortune Lover, which she was reincarnated into, they are all abducted by pirates. However, as this was a plot of a fandisk, she has some idea of what to expect.

Here’s the Japanese trailer, which shows what to expect:

Meanwhile, Sympathy Kiss involves possibly finding love with your coworkers at the Estario company’s Estarci news app while still keeping the app going. Your decisions can increase your Love or Work Points, and you can also choose one of five emotions to influence how you react. It also features a RiNG system for texting and calling love interests.

This is one of the Japanese trailers for Sympathy Kiss.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- will come to the Nintendo Switch in Winter 2023. Sympathy Kiss will follow in 2024.
