MY NEXT LIFE AS A VILLAINESS: ALL ROUTES LEAD TO DOOM! -PIRATES OF THE DISTURBANCE- Coming soon Winter 2023!

Idea Factory International announces the arrival  My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- will be arriving physically and digitally in North America and Europe for the Nintendo Switch™ this Winter.

Originally a Light novel, adapted into an anime with 2 seasons ending in 2021. Catarina gets isekaied into an otome game she played and tries her best to avoid the death flag by navigating her thoughts with mini Caterina’s in her head which is adorably funny.

She is one of my favourite female protagonists and has great chemistry with all the characters in the anime. It also features adorably cute character designs. With this in mind, I am so excited for the game release, featuring two new characters: Rozy Lind and Silva! 🙂

Synopsis

You are Catarina Claes: a food-loving, energetic noble and villainess who, after regaining your memories of your past life, finally gets to take a little vacation on your spring break. Boarding the Vinculum: a world-class cruise ship with all the amenities you can imagine, you quickly discover a number of friends are coming along for the trip.

What should be a relaxing cruise doesn’t go quite as planned when pirates attack and the situation seems reminiscent of a fanbook you read…this can’t be good. Can you escape this doom ending?

Key Features

  • 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 long time 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.

Play or Pass?

I am super duper excited about this game as I have a few favourites from the anime show and I just love the female lead! Caterina is adorably funny and is also relatable in some ways. Can’t wait for the game’s release ^^
