Idea Factory International has announced that the otome visual novel fan disc Birushana: Winds of Fate is coming to Nintendo Switch.
“Fifteen years after the Heiji Rebellion, the Heike clan has reached the height of its power, while the Genji clan remains devastated by defeat,” a press release explains of the visual novel’s story.
“Hidden deep within the mountains of Kurama lives Shanao, the youngest surviving male heir to the Genji name. However, Shanao harbours a deep secret known to very few… The youngest heir to the Genji name is no man.”
With nine routes, you will have the chance to either see what life is like after the war has ended as protagonist Shanao spends her life with one of the love interests from the first game or return to the time of war to get to know four new love interests.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- We’re So Back: Beloved protagonist Shanao is back in this highly anticipated fan disc! Explore nine routes in total, including four Main Routes with all-new love interests, and five returning love interests in the Epilogues.
- What Comes After: Pick up the story where the original Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei ended in five epilogue routes. With love having bloomed on the battlefield, see what life is like for Shanao and her man of choice after the war has ended.
- Turning a New Leaf: Return to the time of war in the all-new Main Routes. Featuring four new love interests, including the Sato brothers, relive moments from the first game from new perspectives and maybe even discover new romance.
- This Action Will Have Consequences: Throughout the new Main Routes, you will have to make tough decisions. These choices will change your affection levels with certain characters and ultimately affect the outcome of your story. Which ending will you receive?
Birushana: Winds of Fate will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2026.
