my next life as a villainess

Following its December 2022 launch on Nintendo Switch in Japan, a western release is up next for the My Next Life as a Villainess game. Idea Factory International announced plans to launch My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- both physically and digitally on November 28, with releases lined up for North America and Europe. 

In addition to the standard version, a Limited Edition exclusive to the publisher’s website will be available. Idea Factory International will update everyone on what that set contains at some point in the future. 

An earlier Japanese trailer for an idea of how it looks:

Here’s how Idea Factory International describes it:

Catarina Claes is a young woman born into a family of nobility who has a memory of her past life as a high school student. She was reincarnated as a Villainess in an otome game called Fortune Lover​. Exile or death were all that awaited her in this new world. However, she managed to evade these ends, and somehow made it through the year to spring break.

As fate would have it, both Catarina and her adopted brother, Keith, were to board a state-of-the-art luxury liner called the Vinculum on its maiden voyage during their time away from the Academy. Once aboard the ship, she realized her friends were also in attendance on what was meant to be a luxurious journey at sea.

The tides changed quickly when they were attacked by pirates who took over the Vinculum and held all of its passengers hostage.

This turn of events all seemed familiar to Catarina, and she begins to recall this was the storyline to a Fortune Lover fanbook.

Could this mean she’s living in a resurrection of a canned doom ending?!​ Will Catarina and her friends be able to return to Sorcier safely?

The curtain rises for a new twist in this ​doom-flag-evading romantic comedy!
