Long Live the Queen Sequel Is Galaxy Princess Zorana

Hanako Games announced Galaxy Princess Zorana, a sequel to the life sim game Long Live the Queen. A project to fund it is currently on Kickstarter, with the campaign live until June 26, 2025.  As of time of writing, it sured the $10,000 goal and reached over $15,100. The Steam page is also live.

Like the original Long Live the Queen, which was an incredibly difficult life sim that involved keeping a young princess turned queen alive long enough to rule her kingdom, the sequel game Galaxy Princess Zorana follows a new ruler coming into her own after her Celestial Emperor father dies. Zorana needs to learn about her past, handle her schedule, grow stronger in important stats, deal with advisors, mystics, and rivals, and hopefully survive. As in the original, our decisions as players shape the heroine. This means her personality changes and she may end up being good or evil.

Here’s the first trailer for the game:

The minimum pledge amount to get a copy of the game is £16 (~$22). Until May 29, 2025, there is also a £16 (~$22) beta early bird tier that gives people access to the beta, the full game, and their name in the credits for contributing. After that 24-hour period, the beta tester tier that includes access and the game is £20 (~$27). The most expensive tier at time of writing is the £60 (~$81) one, of which 75 are available, that includes access to the game and its beta, a digital costume book, a charm of Zorana, and a signed thank you from Hanako Games’ Georgina Bensley. 

Hanako Games already discussed stretch goals for Galaxy Princess Zorana as well. The first Fancy Planets £9,000 tier, which ended up being cleared, will update the appearance of the planets on the star map. At £14,000 (~$18,860), there will be art for every romance outcome scene. The £18,000 (~$24,250) stretch goal involves a new route in which Zorana rebels and doesn’t become an empress. The final £30,000 (~$40,420) one involves more alien species being in the game.

Galaxy Princess Zorana is in development for PCs and is expected to release in 2025. The Kickstarter for it ends on June 26, 2025. The original Long Live the Queen game appeared on the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
