The Expelled from Paradise franchise is releasing two sequels within two weeks of each other: the visual novel The Stellar Angel launches November 26 on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, and the film Kokoro no Resonance opens in Japan on November 13.
The Expelled from Paradise franchise, dormant since the 2014 theatrical film, is returning with two sequels that overlap in their release windows. The visual novel The Stellar Angel, developed by Toei Animation and Studio51, launches November 26 on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, with English and Japanese support. The feature-length film sequel Kokoro no Resonance opens in Japan on November 13. The game is described as a sequel depicting the aftermath of the theatrical anime, and it tells a new story set between the 2014 film and the upcoming anime.
The game 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 works as a jack-of-all-trades. The plot centers on the desert town Svaroga, where parallel plants are spreading and giant worms attack people, while a Deva Security Bureau agent has fled to the surface with a classified file. The scenario is written by Shotaro Teshirogi, author of the prequel novel mission.0. The game uses a choice system called the K2-system, with options leaning toward human emotion or staying true to one's mission, leading to multiple endings.
The film's fifth teaser trailer and key visual, released in July, previewed the entity "Fallen" and added Sumire Morohoshi as the voice of Penem. The visual novel was first announced in May with a winter 2026 release window, later confirmed as November 26. The two projects mark the first major narrative extensions of the franchise in over a decade, with the game positioning itself as a bridge between the original film and the sequel.
