The “Gotoubun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets)” franchise is still alive and strong: they have just announced that a new video game for consoles is on the way, the fourth developed by MAGES. Best of all, the full details will be revealed on May 5 at 9:45 am (Japan time), on the Nakano Quintuplets' birthday. The presentation will be broadcast on the video games' official YouTube channel.
In case you didn't know, this franchise was born from Negi Haruba's manga and became one of the most popular school romances of the last decade. It has more than 20 million copies in circulation, two anime seasons (2019 and 2021), a movie in 2022 that was a smash hit, and animated specials in 2023 and 2024. Although the manga has already ended and made it very clear who stays with Futaro, the video games do the opposite: here you choose which of the five sisters you stay with, and that is exactly what fans like the most.
The first game came out in 2021, the second in 2022 and the third in 2023. And now, in 2025, comes this new installment that will continue with that same style: original stories where the quintuplets compete for your heart and you decide who wins. Scenarios such as school trips, romantic dates or crazy vacations have already appeared in past installments, so this new title will surely bring more moments to fall in love with (or suffer choosing).
Since April 30, the games' official Twitter account started a countdown for the announcement and they are also doing a raffle for exclusive postcards with illustrations of the previous games and the new one. You just have to follow the account and repost to participate; there will be 5 winners. And if you haven't played the previous ones yet, they are on sale for a limited time thanks to the special Golden Week sale: the three previous games and the story content of the mobile game “Gotopazu” are 50% off in their digital version. In other words, it's the best time to catch up.
So now you know: the manga may have had a closed ending, but the games still let you dream of your favorite waifu as the winner. Do you go with Miku again or do you give Nino a chance this time?
