As a reminder, this is an alternate reality take on the Hakuoki, with Chizuru Yukimura being an ordinary school girl and the original love interests from the otome game appearing as her classmates and teachers. A well-known high school for young men is now going co-ed, and Chizuru is the first female students. Instead of working alongside the Shinsengumi to look for her missing father and deal with demons. The possible romance options are still Toshizo Hijikata, Souji Okita, Kazama Chikage, Hajime Saito, Sanosuke Harada, and Heisuke Toudou.

Here’s the latest trailer for the upcoming spin-off.

This is the second time we’ve seen Eastasiasoft handle a Hakuoki game in the last few years. It also took care of Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom, the Switch release of the original game

Hakuoki SSL: Sweet School Life will come to the Switch worldwide in English, and the release date for the otome game is February 12, 2026. The title is already available on the Switch and Vita in Japan.
