Japanese-style visual novel Nagi no Koi coming to PS4, Switch in spring 2026 in Japan

I’m so excited! Entergram just announced that they’re bringing Nagi no Koi, a beautiful Japanese visual novel developed by Nutrients, to both PlayStation 4 and Switch! It’ll be a digital release in Japan in spring 2026 and will cost around 2,700 yen. I can’t wait to play it!

Nagi no Koi originally became available on computers in Japan on August 20, 2021. An English version was then released on Steam on January 14, 2025.

The Steam version featured voice acting for just the four main female characters. However, the console versions will expand this to include voices for all male characters and additional female characters, creating a fully voiced game. Currently, actors can audition through the game’s official website. Additionally, the console versions will receive an updated and revamped user interface.

It is currently unclear whether the console versions will include English text.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
