ADV 'VIRTUAL ENCORE' Set for January 2027 on Steam and Switch

Entergram announced the ADV VIRTUAL ENCORE for Steam and Nintendo Switch, scheduled for January 2027 with pricing undecided. The game depicts VTubers, the voices behind them, and their managers. Steam store page and official website opened, wishlist registration began, and a Steam demo is due in September 2026. The Switch version plans a packaged and limited edition, with pre-orders starting in September 2026.

Entergram announced the ADV on the 27th, with a January 2027 release window on Steam and Nintendo Switch. The story follows manager Kusunoki Wakaba over six days as she supports VTuber Tsukimiya Erika ahead of a first solo live, with streaming troubles and stagnant viewer counts in the way.

The cast pairs each VTuber with the voice behind them: Yoshimura Shiori plays both Tsukimiya Erika and Kisaragi Mirei, and Hinoue Nagisa voices Hinata Kirara and Shirase Kirara. Hiiragi Yuuka plays manager Koyanagi Honoka. Staff include planner-director Hana, scenario writer Bansaka, and character designer Wata.

A Steam demo lands in September 2026, and the Switch packaged edition opens pre-orders that same month.
