Idea Factory International has announced that My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- is coming to Nintendo Switch next month.
This visual novel stars Catarina Claes, a young woman born into a family of nobility who has a memory of her past life as a high school student. Reincarnated as a Villainess in an otome game called Fortune Lover, exile or death were all that awaited her in this new world. Yet she managed to evade such outcomes and has somehow made it through the year to spring break.
Fate soon sees Catarina and her adopted brother Keith board a state-of-the-art luxury liner called in Vinculum on its maiden voyage, aboard which she is joined by her friends. However, the liner is attacked by pirates who hold all of its passengers hostage.
Catarina realises this was the storyline to a Fortune Lover fanbook, as the curtain rises for a new twist in this ”doom-flag-evading romantic comedy.”
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Uncharted Waters Ahead: A new doom flag has risen in this all-new story set in the My Next Life as a Villainess universe! This original tale can be enjoyed by both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
- Rascals, Scoundrels, Villains, and Knaves: Catarina isn’t the only one who decided to take a cruise on the Vinculum. The full My Next Life as a Villainess crew is here. Featuring 6 romanceable shipmates, including 2 all-new characters!
- A Voyage Down Memory Lane: As you progress through the story and fulfill certain conditions, you’ll unlock special Memory Scenarios. These episodes will take place from the perspective of the other characters in the story. Experience events such as childhood memories and tales from academic life!
- Batten Down the Hatches: Along your journey, you’ll sometimes face two paths before you. Time for a Strategy Meeting! Who better to ask for advice than… well, yourself! As seen in the light novel and anime, Catarina looks within to attend a meeting with five versions of herself—led by Chairman Catarina—to decide which route to take.
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 28 November 2023.
