Hakuoki SSL: Sweet School Life Otome Finally Localized on Switch

Eastasiasoft kicked off its 24th showcase announcing new games by revealing the Hakuoki otome game spin-off Hakuoki SSL: Sweet School Life is finally going to appear in English on the Switch. The game originally debuted in 2014 Eastasiasoft was behind the release of the Switch version of the original entry as well. This entry will debut in “late” 2025. For those new to this story, it takes familiar faces and brings them into a whole new setting for an AU (alternate universe) story. So Chizuru and the members of the Shinsengumi are still around! However, they’re leading a decidedly more peaceful life with no supernatural elements. Chizuru is a high school student. Rather than being the only woman in the Shinsengumi, she’s the first girl to attend a formerly all-boys school. Okita, Saitou, Toudou, Yamazaki, Ibuki, Nagumo, Kazama, Kyuujyu, and Shiranui are all students. Kondou is the principal and Hijikata is the vice principal. Harada and Nagakura are teachers. Sanan is the school’s doctor. As in some of the later releases, there are routes for characters like Nagakura, Sannan, and Yamazaki. So we follow Chizuru through her new life at a new school and maybe help her find love along the way. Here’s the full Eastasiasoft Showcase #24 from YouTube. It actually starts with a look at the AU Hakuoki otome game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBGpVSo6JBM&ab_channel=eastasiasoft The opening movie is also available to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kULgFodyOo&ab_channel=eastasiasoft Eastasiasoft confirmed that there will be digital and physical copies of the game available.
