Publisher Anchor announced that both acclaimed visual novel titles Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative are finally coming to Android.
The release date has been set for both on July 19, 2025.
An iOS version is also planned, but it’ll come at a later, yet undisclosed date.
The mobile version has been promised for a long, long time, and it’s good to see that it’s finally going to be delivered.
It’s worth mentioning that Muv-Luv actually includes two separate visual novels that were originally released together, Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Unlimited. It forms a trilogy with Muv-Luv Alternative.
You can check out a brand new trailer for Muv-Luv Alternative below.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Muv-Luv franchise, it was created by âge and it’s mostly focused on sci-fi visual novels that debuted in Japan in 2003.
The original game for PC was followed by Muv-Luv Alternative, completing the original trilogy in 2006. It’s considered by many to be one of the best visual novels ever written.
The trilogy has been ported to several platforms over the years, including PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Steam, and recently Nintendo Switch, and it was finally localized in English in 2016 following a successful Kickstarter campaign.
Several additional visual novels have since expanded the franchise’s universe (many of them are available on Steam), and we also got games featuring different genres like the action RPG Project MIKHAIL: A Muv-Luv War Story and the upcoming simulation RPG Muv-Luv Tactics.
Incidentally, the enhanced edition of another of âge’s most popular visual novels, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, which is widely considered Muv-Luv’s prequel, has recently been released on Steam with an English localization for the first time.
Recently, the creators of the series revealed a fairly extensive roadmap of games aiming to revitalize the series, and a new free-to-play mobile game titled Muv-Luv Girls Garden is coming soon, although it’s to be considered a spin-off.
