Today, Anchor, publisher of the Muv-Luv series, shared plenty of news about the franchise, including existing and upcoming games.
The news was shared during a pre-recorded livestream presented by Muv-Luv series chief producer Kazutoshi “Tororo” Matsumura, and he started by introducing a collaboration event in the new mobile game Muv-Luv Girls Garden.
The series will basically collaborate with itself, featuring the beloved Muv-Luv Alternative. The event will start on October 28, 2025, and will bring Meiya Mitsurugi, Sumika Kagami, and Miki Tamase as playable characters to Girls Garden, piloting Type-00R Takemikazuchi and Type-94 Shiranui TSF mecha.
You can see a trailer of the event below.
We also get the reveal of the new team Trinity Jewel that will be added with the new chapter on November 11. They will pilot the “Pathfinder” Maze Guard (the game’s version of TSF mecha).
You can see both the characters and the Maze Guards below.
We then get a sales update on the Muv-Luv visual novel series, which has now shipped 800,000 units. A new and emotional trailer for the beloved Muv-Luv Alternative has also been showcased.
Incidentally, if you wnat to play the visual novels, they’re currently on sale on Steam up to 60% off, which is definitely a sweet deal. The sale ends on November 1.
The series is also 30% off on Nintendo Switch until November 6, 2025.
Following the Android version released earlier this year, the iOS version of Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative will be released “soon,” although no precise date was revealed. The former will be priced at 1,500 yen and the latter at 2,000 yen.
The Switch is also getting more Muv-Luv games in the form of the Muv-Luv Unlimited: The Day After sub-series, which has been on Steam for a while. The Switch version was available only as a bonus of the Odyssey Box.
The series includes four episodes fom 00 to 03, and they will be sold both separately and in a bundle.
While the mobile game Muv-Luv Dimensions has been shut down, the developers are keeping the promise of continuing the story. A web novel will be serialized starting today, written by Akira Yamazaki. A new chapter will be published every Friday.
The novel will begin from the beginning of the story of the game, so it can be enjoyed by everyone, not just those who played Dimensions.
Next, we move on to Muv-Luv Tactics: Nightmare of Kalidasa, with the presjtation of a new trailer showing plenty of tactics RPG gameplay and featuring a new song.
While the early access version has already been offered to backers, the Steam version is currently in development taking in account the feedback received so far.
In preparation to the Steam release a “Free Mode” that will let you play with a variety of TSF will be included. This differs from the story mode that only lets you play with the TSF appropriate to the story.
A new feature that lets players organize their units is also in the works, and a new “Normal” difficulty will be added on top of the “Hard” mode that has been provided in early access.
While in Hard mode you can’t replay stages and characters die permanently, in Nomal mode, you can play stages repeatedly to level up your units and characters don’t die permanently.
While a release date for Steam is still undecided, the team at Fuzz is working hard to achive a level of quality that will satisfy the fans.
The game will be exhibited at Comiket 107 at the end of December 2025.
Moving on to Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, the definitive version Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Enhanced Edition R will be released both digitally and physically (only in Japan, obviously) on December 19, 2025.
Pre-orders for the physical edition started today in Japan, with the traditional store-specific bonuses.
Tororo then mentioned that the original roadmap for the series is about to be completed, and the “Road to Integrate” roadmap continues toward the future of the series.
At the very end of the livestream, which you can watch below, a static panel teased that the second part of the Road to Integrate has begun and auditions for creatives will be held to help out with “Muv-Luv Tactics Resonative (tentative title),” with more information to be shared on December 30.
The new title pretty much confirms that Muv-Luv Resonative, which was previously promised to have additional gameplay element to reinforce the visual novel-style storytelling, will have tactics RPG gameplay like Muv-Luv Tactics: Nightmare of Kalidasa.
If you’re unfamiliar with it, Resonative is the long (very long) awaited next chapter of the Muv-Luv Unlimited: The Day After sub-series.
It’s supposed to be followed at some point in the future by Duty: Lost Arcadia set on the European front of the Alternative front and finally by Muv-Luv Integrate, which is a full-fledged sequel to Alternative.
You can watch the full livestream below.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Muv-Luv franchise, it was created by âge and it debuted in Japan starting in 2003 with a trilogy of sci-fi visual novels.
The original game for PC (which actually includes two visual novels, Muv-Luv Extra and Unlimited) 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 was ported to several platforms, including PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Steam, and recently Nintendo Switch and Android, and it was finally localized in English in 2016 following a very successful Kickstarter campaign. As mentioned above, the iOS version is coming soon.
Several additional visual novels have since expanded the franchise’s universe, and we also have games featuring different genres like the action RPG Project MIKHAIL: A Muv-Luv War Story and the simulation RPG Muv-Luv Tactics.
