Idea Factory International has announced that 9 R.I.P. sequel will launch for Nintendo Switch in western markets on October 27. The otome visual novel follow-up is set to arrive later this year, giving fans of the series a confirmed release window outside Japan.
According to the announcement, 9 R.I.P. sequel will be sold in both physical and digital formats. That means Switch players in the west will have the option to buy a boxed copy or pick up the game through digital storefronts when it releases.
The news is notable for otome and visual novel fans who have been tracking localized Switch releases. With Idea Factory International handling the western launch, the sequel continues the publisher’s support for bringing romance-focused visual novels to English-speaking audiences.
While the announcement centers on the release date and formats, it also confirms that 9 R.I.P. sequel is firmly on the way for the west. More details about the launch package and related release information are expected to be of interest as the October 27 debut gets closer.
