Expelled from Paradise Game Sequel Launches November 26

Toei Animation and Studio51 announced on August 21 that the visual novel game "Rakuen Tsuihou -The Stellar Angel-" will launch for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on November 26, 2026. The game is a completely new story set between the 2014 theatrical film "Expelled from Paradise" and the upcoming anime "Rakuen Tsuihou: Kokoro no Resonance," scheduled for release on November 13, 2026. The scenario is written by Shotaro Teshirogi, author of the prequel novel "Rakuen Tsuihou mission.0." The story follows Angela Balzac, voiced by Rie Kugimiya, and her partner Dingo, voiced by Shinichiro Miki, in the year 2400 on a devastated Earth. Angela has defected from the cyber world Deva and now works as a jack-of-all-trades with Dingo. The plot centers on a desert town called Svaroga, where parallel plants are spreading and giant worms are attacking people, while a Deva Security Bureau agent has fled to the surface with a classified file. The game features a choice system called the K2-system, where players choose between "KIZUNA" (leaning toward human emotion) or "KAKUGO" (staying true to one's mission), leading to multiple endings. Prices are 6,380 yen for the standard package, 5,280 yen for the download version, and 11,880 yen for the limited edition.
