Aksys Games Announces Over Requiemz Western Release for Nintendo Switch in Summer 2026
Aksys Games has officially announced the English localization and western release of the visual novel Over Requiemz for Nintendo Switch, bringing the acclaimed otome adventure to North American and European fans in Summer 2026.
Originally developed by a Japanese studio and launched in Japan in April 2024, Over Requiemz reimagines L.
Frank Baum's classic The Wizard of Oz with a dark, narrative-driven twist tailored for mature audiences. Over Requiemz first captivated players in its Japanese debut on Nintendo Switch, blending romance, suspense, and survival elements within a rich narrative setting.
In an official statement, Aksys Games shared that the forthcoming English release will make the unique adventure accessible to a broader audience via the Switch eShop, with plans to preserve the original story's intent and immersive atmosphere. The story centers on Yuhiru, a high school student mysteriously transported to the remote land of Oz after being caught in a violent tornado.
Rather than receiving a warm welcome, Yuhiru finds herself condemned to death upon arrival.
In a desperate bid for freedom, she is commanded to explore eerie, monster-infested ruins accompanied by four death row inmates and a secretive supervisor tasked with overseeing the condemned group.
Together, they must unravel the mysteries of the ruins as Yuhiru faces challenging decisions that test her resolve and morality. Aksys Games described Over Requiemz as "a haunting and emotional journey where no one is truly lost, no matter how far they've strayed." The title stands out for its blend of visual novel storytelling, branching narrative paths, and deep character interactions, all set within a uniquely ominous interpretation of the land of Oz. As one of the leading publishers of otome games in the west, Aksys Games continues to expand its Switch portfolio with acclaimed titles that highlight innovative storytelling and beloved Japanese visual novels.
The upcoming English localization will give international fans the opportunity to experience Over Requiemz's rich narrative and atmospheric world for the first time. Over Requiemz is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe in Summer 2026.
An official trailer is now available, offering a glimpse into the game's dark fantasy setting and complex character dynamics.
Further details, including a specific release date and digital eShop availability, will be provided by Aksys Games as the launch approaches. For ongoing updates about Over Requiemz, Nintendo Switch game releases, and localization news, stay tuned to our dedicated Nintendo gaming news hub.
