Currently, the game is set to be released on iOS, Android, and PC in Japan, and will be compatible with VR. Mikage LLC. has yet to sign an agreement with Nippon Ichi Software for the Western release, meaning that whether the game will use the Criminal Girls name in the West is still undecided. However, several American companies have asked about releasing the game, which is being developed on PC as the base platform, on platforms like PlayStation 4.
More info is set to be released on April 26, 2019. You can visit the game’s official website here, while the official Twitter is here.
Criminal Girls X is in development for iOS, Android, and PC in Japan, and may possibly release on PlayStation 4 in the West.
