Otomate Party 2026 Reveals New Switch Otome Title VELVET CANDY TINT KISS

Idea Factory used its own event to hold two lanes at once, a new kiss-driven fantasy romance for Switch and a 2027 port of a 2012 Genpei War otome, and paired both with a November 22 solo event for the 9 R.I.P. sequel at Bellesalle Takadanobaba.

Otomate Party 2026 Reveals New Switch Otome Title VELVET CANDY TINT KISS

At the Otomate Party 2026 Day 1 night performance on September 12, Idea Factory announced VELVET CANDY TINT KISS, a Nintendo Switch fantasy romance set in modern Japan where the protagonist can captivate human men with kisses. The romanceable characters include twins, a demon-hunting buddy, and a self-proclaimed part-time job leader. A Switch port of the 2012 PSP title GENROH GENROH was also announced, planned for 2027.

The two Otomate announcements came from the same stage: the Day 1 night performance of Otomate Party 2026 on September 12. VELVET CANDY TINT KISS is a Switch fantasy romance set in modern Japan, built around a protagonist who can captivate human men with kisses. Its romanceable characters include twins, a demon-hunting buddy, and a self-proclaimed part-time job leader. GENROH GENROH is a Switch port of the 2012 PSP title, framed as the 14th entry in Otomate Graffiti and set in a new interpretation of the Genpei War, with a 2027 release planned. A solo event for the 9 R.I.P. sequel is scheduled for November 22 at Bellesalle Takadanobaba in Tokyo.
