Today as part of our Fall 2025 Showcase, we shared that Hakuoki SSL ~Sweet School Life~ will be coming to Nintendo Switch on February 12, 2026 just in time for Valentine’s Day! To give players a glimpse at the first-ever English localization of this special entry in the series, the first English screenshots and a new opening video have been shared via social media and eastasiasoft’s official YouTube channel. Pre-orders for physical editions of the game are available from online retail partner Playasia, but remaining Limited Editions are nearly sold out.
Hakuoki SSL ~Sweet School Life~ is a visual novel adventure centered around heroine Chizuru Yukimura and the handsome legendary warriors of the Shinsengumi, but unlike most of the series that’s set in Edo period Japan, this standalone entry casts the characters as members of a school in modern Japan. This Nintendo Switch release will include English language support for the first time, which should be welcome news for the many otome fans that have long requested localization of this particular game.
Physical copies for Nintendo Switch will begin shipping in the same week as digital release. Only 2000 Limited Editions will be produced and include the game, manual, soundtrack CD, art book, mini case, Joy-Con sticker set, acrylic character standees and a numbered certificate in a collector’s box.
