D3 Publisher announced Dream Club ZERO R+ during the Dream Club ZERO 15th Anniversary Talk stage event at Tokyo Game Show 2026 on September 20, 2026. The game is scheduled for release in 2027, with platforms still unannounced. Dream Club ZERO R+ is a port of Dream Club ZERO, the romance simulation game originally released for Xbox 360 in 2011. The port adds three new host girls and features newly drawn character illustrations. Haruyuki Morisawa returns as character designer. The original Dream Club ZERO is set five months before the first Dream Club, in a members-only social club that only those with a pure heart may enter. Players take part-time jobs on weekdays to earn money and request their preferred host girl on weekends, with conversation, food and drinks, and karaoke. Automaton notes the announcement did not specify what the R+ suffix refers to.
The three additions sit on top of a base game that already had 13 host girls, and the whole pitch is framed as a reopening rather than a rerelease. The official Dream Club Opening Preparation Staff account teased it as a "2027 Grand Reopening," and 4Gamer ran the same stage-event announcement under the banner "Dream Club Zero R+ Announced: A 'Pure Adult Social Club' With New Host Girls to Open in 2027."
- Release window: 2027. No platforms named by any outlet.
- Format: described as a port. Automaton calls it "appears to be a port," and GAME Watch calls it a port based on the original.
- Suffix: Automaton says the announcement "did not specify what the newly added 'R+' refers to," and guesses it likely means remaster plus extra content.
- Original release year: 4Gamer, Denfaminicogamer and Automaton say 2011. GAME Watch says 2012.
- Character design: Haruyuki Morisawa, confirmed in both the event announcement and the staff account post.
Denfaminicogamer notes the three new host girls came from the stream itself. TGS2026 runs September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe and TKP Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall.
