Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns is a revival of the arcade strip mahjong series, developed jointly by ILLUMINATION and Infinite Loop. The game is scheduled for release on Steam for Windows on August 27, 2026, with the main desktop version priced at 4,980 yen, a VR mode DLC at 1,980 yen, and a bundle set at 5,916 yen. A 20 percent commemorative sale runs from release until September 10. The game is the official sequel to the arcade classic Super Real Mahjong, which ran in Japanese game centers from the Showa to Heisei eras. A crowdfunding campaign in 2025 raised roughly 33.8 million yen against a 2 million yen target, reaching 1,690 percent of the goal, which funded full voice acting and a grand finale.
The game features four heroines, including series first heroine Shoko, at the mahjong cafe P's CLUB. It includes 35 episode parts for conversations, a memories function to revisit all 62 scenes, and a free camera for matches and reward scenes. The zero-distance stripping system is standard in the desktop version. The heroines respond with teasing lines during free camera use. The game supports VR with a Desktop Mode and an Auto Mode for non-mahjong players.
Leading up to release, ILLUMINATION released introduction PVs for heroines Akira Hayasaka, Mizuki Tono, and Aya Fujiwara, as well as VR strip videos and reward scene videos. The PV for Akira Hayasaka, released on August 13, shows her cheerful side and hints at a different side previously teased on the game's X annex account. The PV also reintroduces the mysterious light feature, a compliance tool for streamers that can be adjusted in thickness and turned on or off. The game includes all seven past series instruction cards for the first time, collectible by clearing conditions.
