DANGEN Entertainment announced LitGirls: Literary Labyrinth and the Girls on October 1, 2026, developed by Nanairo Enterprise, the team behind Turret and Girls, with GIANTY as development support and DANGEN as publisher. The dungeon-crawling RPG is planned for release on PC via Steam in the first half of 2027. The price is yet to be determined, and a console version is undecided. An 18+ version is also planned for a separate PC platform.

Five days after the announcement, DANGEN held a media briefing where it outlined the game as LitGirls: Bungaku Meikyu and described it as drawing on Darkest Dungeon. The party is made of girls based on classic literature, including Alice, Dante, Juliet, and Raven. Combat is turn-based. The girls are arranged in four rows, front and back, against enemies in the same formation. Two parameters, HP and Mental, govern survival, and characters lose equipment as they take damage. Music is by Yoshitaka Hirota, who worked on Shadow Hearts.

The briefing also connected LitGirls to Turret to Shoujo, which received Update 4. Raven, created for LitGirls from Poe's poem, was added to Turret and Girls first, and the two games connect as parallel worlds. Update 4 adds Mami, a support character with attack drones, along with three-player multiplayer and four stages. The same briefing stated that further LitGirls content arrives by update depending on sales.
