August 8, 2024 – To commemorate the launch of Princess Maker 2 Regeneration on PS4 and PS5 today, a launch trailer has been released.

Join us on a journey as we witness a daughter's growth, shaped by the choices you make as her father. While you'll guide her path with study schedules and part-time jobs, it's the unexpected encounters that will truly define her.

About “Princess Maker 2”

“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

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.
