Unfortunately, it seems that those two games are ones that Aksys will not be able to localize for the West. And while Black Wolves Saga -Bloody Nightmare- only has a PC release in Japan, the game was ported and bundled with -Last Hope- under the title Black Wolves Saga -Weiβ und Schwarz for the PS Vita in 2017, giving Aksys not only the ability to localize Diabolik Lovers, but the entire Black Wolves Saga series as well. Seeing as XSEED is new to releasing otome games, it’s hard to tell how far they’ll go with it.Īksys, having worked with Idea Factory for some time now in the otome game genre (a majority of otome games are released under Otomate, the otome game branch of Idea Factory), has the most votes when it comes to who fans will go to for a console otome game release.

Diabolik Lovers eventually spawned more drama CDs, game sequels with more characters, manga adaptations, an anime adaptation, and whole line of merchandise. As Diabolik Lovers made use of the dummy-head mic technique for its voice actors, it gained even more fans. While Diabolik Lovers is the most popular of the two, both series gained a following due to their twisted and disturbing story-lines.
