Visual novel The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Midsummer’s Mirage and the Journey of Dreams announced for Switch - possibly PS5 and PC - Gematsu

Publisher Bushiroad Games has announced visual novel The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Midsummer’s Mirage and the Journey of Dreams for Switch. It will launch in 2025 in Japan.

The announcement comes via a teaser trailer, which features the logo, release window, and a background from the game.

However, as spotted by Twitter user Belserious, back in mid-February Bushiroad Games accidently published the YouTube premiere page for the game’s opening movie, which was planned to release on March 23. While the video itself was not viewable, the video thumbnail was:

As visible in the thumbnail, PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam) versions of The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Midsummer’s Mirage and the Journey of Dreams either are or were also planned, with a final release date of October 2 in Japan. Whether this information still holds true remains to be seen when Bushiroad Games officially releases the opening movie.

Mahoyome PC/Console Visual Novel??

I don't really use this acc or participate in the fandom anymore outside my little A03 corner and my never-ending journey of adding merch to myfigurecollection (just 92 more entries and I'll hit 2,000 added...) , but I spent my entire lunch break researching this (finally something to sleuth on other than finding non-existent official pics for merch from 2015) only to post it on reddit and watch it disappear into the void. So yeah just gonna throw it here since it looks like the original twitter post that I found this out from got zero traction (link later below) so I'm guessing no one else has noticed and it's not just some scam or really weird early april fool's joke?

TLDR: Someone did a whoops and published a video about an official mahoyome video game being released later this year, and then took it down, but not before it was noticed

I was browsing maho tags on Twitter like I usually do and noticed someone made a post (archived link that should be able to be seen without a Twitter acc, but credit to this account (Belserious) for noticing first!) about a YouTube video that has since been made private, announcing a magus bride game, "魔法使いの嫁　盛夏の幻と夢見る旅路" (Translated in an article as "The Ancient Magus' Bride: Midsummer's Mirage and the Journey of Dreams"; "まほなつ" or "Mahonatsu" for short?) for Steam, PS5, and Switch being released Oct 2nd, 2025.  The (unofficial) post mentioned the upload date being March 23, so someone probably did a big oops and published it early...the video title is "魔法使いの嫁　盛夏の幻と夢見る旅路】OP映像｜reche「さがしもの" so it appears it will showcase the opening theme of the game, which is sang by reche, a former EGOIST member. 

I have *not* seen the contents of the video and it does not appear to have been archived, so again, do not take this as official; but I searched the title online and the video did appear with part of the description showing stating that it is a visual novel (though clicking on it just says it's private).

Online translation is giving me "first visual novel" for 初のビジュアルノベルゲーム in particular but can't confirm the accuracy there

If you search on Bing in particular you can see that the thumbnail is the image in the twitter post

I also found an article on a major jp gaming news site that just restates the release date and title in JP and English, and that it is published by Bushiroad Games. (also has an English site).  There's also a trailer tab which just links to the private video.  Very cool to see if it is in fact official!  The visual does look like it has all the right copyrights and stuff.  Anyways, just wanted to mention to keep an eye on that video link when March comes around if interested!

Visual novel The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Midsummer’s Mirage and the Journey of Dreams will launch for PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC via Steam on October 2 in Japan for 5,280 yen, publisher Bushiroad Games announced. It will support and English and Japanese language options. A limited edition will be available for 11,000 yen.

The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Midsummer’s Mirage and the Journey of Dreams was originally only announced for Switch earlier this month, but at the time, a YouTube premiere page for the game’s opening movie—planned for release today—had been accidently published an entire month earlier. The thumbnail of that premiere revealed the addition of PlayStation 5 and PC versions, as well as the October 2 release date. But today is the first official announcement.

Here is the story synopsis, via the official website:

A non-human being living alone in the night of London. One night, he encounters a young girl named Letty, calling for help amidst the fog. Rescuing her from the darkness, he learns that she has lost her memories and doesn’t know why or how she ended up there, and the two become friends. Wanting to help the first friend he’s ever made, the non-human Sol sets out to find “The Thorn Mage” Elias and Chise—whom he has heard of through rumors from the fairies—in hopes of restoring Letty’s memories.
