There are few things more terrifying than one’s own heart, and there is almost nothing more terrifying than sharing it with another.

But the most terrifying thing of all is to leave one’s heart unshared. You are the only thing like me, and I am the only thing like you.

Could you bear the weight of an eternity alone?

Told you not to trust her but here you are getting tricked anyways.

Sound on for that jonny sims + nichole goodnight voice acting

also hi please wishlist slay the princess on steam!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve wrapped principal development work on Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut. We’ll be releasing it this Fall (date TBD) so we can simultaneous ship the update with both the game’s console release (surprise!) as well as official subtitling support for 11 new languages, all with the help of our wonderful new partners at Serenity Forge (who you might know from their publishing work on Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!)

There’s a lot for us to share about The Pristine Cut, but before we get into the details, please check out our new trailer!

Here’s what we’ve got coming for you:

Content

• For those of you who are just now hearing about The Pristine Cut, it’s an entirely free director’s cut of the game that adds about 35% more content on top of the initial release.
• This includes massive expansions to The Den, The Apotheosis, and The Fury routes, each of which is over three times bigger than their release versions, with tons of variations to discover across multiple playthroughs.
• On top of this, we’re adding three brand new chapter three routes that will add even more depth to your stories with The Damsel, The Prisoner, and The Spectre.
• And we’re adding a new ending.
• All in all, these additions come to over 2,500 new voice lines, over 1,200 new hand-drawn illustrations, and over 15 new tracks of music.
• We’re also adding an extensive CG gallery with over 400 unlocks to help all you completionists track your progress, complete with cryptic hints to help you discover some of the game’s more obscure and buried interactions.

Languages

• And all of this is coming with a giant wave of localization support, covering the following languages: Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, German, Russian, Spanish (Latin American), Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Polish. These localizations are just going to cover subtitles, so we can be as thorough as possible about maintaining the quality of Jonny and Nichole’s performances.

Consoles, Physical Release and New Merch

• With the help of Serenity Forge, we’re bringing Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut to every major current console — Nintendo Switch, PS4 + 5, and Xbox.
• And these won’t just be available as digital downloads. You’ll also be able to pick up a physical edition for the Switch and PS5, with an exclusive sticker sheet and a download code for the game’s soundtrack.
• And if that’s not enough we’re also doing a Collector’s Edition, complete with a 7 inch statue of the Princess, a mirror with a lenticular lens, an acrylic standee, and more.
• And finally (for now), we’re launching the first wave of new line of sticker sheets, featuring chibi art of the Princesses as seen in The Pristine Cut’s new gallery. Pre-order them now at Topatoco!

Alongside these developments, we’ve also launched a new website for the game: check out slaytheprincess.com where you can order the physical editions, check out merch, and more!

Thank you so much for your patience while we’ve worked to make The Pristine Cut the definitive version of Slay the Princess. We can’t wait to share all of the game’s new stories with you this Fall.

Until then, we’re back to working full-time on the next Episode of Scarlet Hollow (and have been for about a few weeks now!)

Best,
Abby and Tony
