Bliss Brain, and Monkey Craft confirmed Princess Maker 2 Regeneration is now available on Nintendo Switch, and PC. The MSRP is set at $39.99, though Steam players can pick it up for $35.99 until July 17.
This release is to commemorate the original’s 30th anniversary, which happened on June 15, 1993. The original release, which is the second of five Princess Maker titles, was made by Gainax. This was before they became the anime studio known for Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL, and Gurren Lagann. Much of this can be seen in the graphics, as the overall look retains that ’90s anime flare.
One of the biggest changes in this version compared to those before is a revised script that features suggestions from fans. This project started in the Princess Maker Discord/Reddit communities as a petition to revise Princess Maker 2 Regeneration‘s script.
The community was eventually given the opportunity to refine the English translation into something that better resonates with new, and long-time fans in the West. After the team collectively spent “over a thousand hours” examining the original Japanese script, they came up with a new version that hopes to accomplish this while staying accurate to the original.

Princess Maker 2 Regeneration Overview
“Princess Maker 2” is a childrearing simulation game in which the player experiences being the father to a daughter granted to them by the stars.
They raise the girl for eight years, from ages ten to eighteen. Your daughter grows up to be an adult through various experiences in the game. The girl’s dream is to become a princess, but a wide variety of opportunities await depending on how you raise her. What kind of dream will you make come true for this girl?Redrawing the graphics
This title is based on “Princess Maker 2: Refine,” released in 2004. Especially important graphics were redrawn by Takami Akai in a style similar to the PC-98 version. The graphics are drawn in high resolution befitting modern game systems, with a commitment to quality in the details.
Addition of an opening animation
An opening animation by Yonago Gainax has been added to the game. The animation, drawn by a team led by Takami Akai, envisions the future the player will have as the “father” with their “daughter”.
Knowing how your daughter is doing is the first step in raising her
This title is a social simulation, so it is very important to always be aware of your daughter’s status and use this to raise her.
In “Regeneration”, parameters for assessing your daughter’s status are always available, so you can check on her at a glance. Check what you should do for your daughter’s future, and raise her carefully.Message from Takami Akai
Steam
I am deeply grateful to see that “Princess Maker 2”, which came out 30 years ago, is still so beloved by so many fans that we can release a new version. This time I was finally able to redo the graphics, which I had always wanted to do. Please enjoy the newly redrawn vacations and endings.
