Voltage and Toei Animation have announced Kakan Ruirui: The Caged Lantern of Yomi, a new otome game headed to Nintendo Switch in 2027, Anime News Network reports.

The project's biggest draw for genre fans is its artist: illustrations come from Yone Kazuki, best known for the long-running otome staple Hakuoki. Kazuki's involvement signals the kind of lush period-romance aesthetic that made that series a cornerstone of the genre.

A first teaser video will debut at the AGF 2026 event next weekend, giving players their first real look at the game's characters and tone. The collaboration pairs Voltage โ€” a veteran of romance games โ€” with Toei Animation's production muscle, an unusual combination that suggests ambitions beyond a standard visual novel release. More details are expected as the 2027 window approaches.
