One of the next Idea Factory International Switch otome games won’t appear when we expected it to debut, as Temirana: The Lucky Princess now has a 2026 release window. When the game was announced at Anime Expo 2024, the company was saying it would appear in English in 2025. The delay was accompanied by a reveal that both Day One and Limited Editions will show up when the title does release.

Idea Factory International didn’t explain why Temirana is delayed. The game is already immediately available in Japan. It debuted on the Switch in April 2023 there. The digital and physical release is still planned.

As for those physical copies, details about them are slim. Only the official Idea Factory International stores will offer a trading card with a purchase as part of the company’s typical promotion. That will also be the only place where the Limited Edition is sold. However, we don’t know what sets a Day One version apart from the standard one, and the inclusions with the collector’s release weren’t mentioned. A product page is live for wishlisting.

Idea Factory International does have a Switch otome game coming out in 2025 as planned. That is Battlefield Waltz, which is set to launch in April 2025. 

Temirana: The Lucky Princess will come to the Nintendo Switch outside Japan in 2026, rather than 2025.

At Anime Expo 2024, Idea Factory International announced five games, with two being new otome titles and another being the latest Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-off. All of the games that appeared are heading to consoles.

There are two otome games among the Idea Factory International Anime Expo 2024 games. These are Battlefield Waltz and Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights. Both will head to the Nintendo Switch.  In Battlefield Waltz, we follow a warrior-in-training named Ran and the five young men she meets at an academy for those who could become the best and strongest. Meanwhile, Temirana involves players helping the “Lucky Princess” as she finds love with one of the “Tragic Knights.”  

Here is the Vita trailer for Battlefield Waltz, as that’s where the game first appeared:

The new entries in Idea Factory International staples are Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos and Death end re;Quest: Code Z. The newest Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-off will show up on the Switch, PS4, and PS5 outside Japan. It involves racing motorcycles and the series’ classic Dogoos slime dog enemies. Death end re;Quest: Code Z is the third entry in the now trilogy, and it will also be on the Switch, PS4, and PS5.

Finally, Touhou Spell Carnival will be on the Switch, PS4, and PS5 worldwide. It is a strategy game that still involves the bullet hell elements, as you’ll deploy and move the series’ classic characters on a grid, then use their bullets to attack. 

Here’s a Japanese trailer showing how it works:
