As initially spotted by Wario64 on Twitter, the recently announced English localization of Iwakura Aria, a MAGES.-developed suspense fantasy visual novel with yuri themes, may be releasing soon. Amazon has listed the game with an August 14, 2025 release date in North America.
This release date has not yet been confirmed by PQube, the game’s English-language publisher, and should thus be treated as tentative until an official confirmation is shared.
The English publisher describes the game as such:
“After the war Japan experiences rapid economic growth, and in the cracks of society one girl gets left behind. With no future to look forward to, she grasps onto a thread of hope, a possibility of a new life, as the maid to the Iwakura household. However, the Iwakura family holds its own secrets, most connected to its heir Aria, and Ichiko finds herself sucked into another world contained within that mansion.”
In the midst of people’s hopes and expectations, Aria and Ichiko have lost sight of their true selves. To whom do the lives of these girls - who continue to play the roles they are given - belong?
In order to take back control of their own lives, courage and willpower are needed, and the fateful meeting between them may just be the key to unlocking their hidden strength.
This is the story of one summer in 1966 that shaped the future of the Iwakura family, and their new maid.
Iwakura Aria is expected to launch on Nintendo Switch and Steam. For more information, visit the game’s official announcement page.
