Shiravune is a Tokyo-based localization team dedicated to bringing Japanese games to fresh audiences in English and Chinese. We work with developers large and small to help them deliver their stories to players around the world.
Shiravune operates as a publisher based in Tokyo rather than a developer creating original code. The company was founded in 2020 but shows activity dates ranging from 2016 to 2025. This timeline indicates they began operations in the late 2010s with a small output of four games before shifting into high-volume publishing during the 2020s. They released 52 titles in this recent decade compared to just four previously. Their catalog on PlayPile contains exactly 57 games, all listed under their publishing role with zero entries as developers. The company focuses heavily on Adventure and Visual Novel genres. These two categories account for the vast majority of their 57 game library. They also handle a significant number of Role-playing games and Simulator titles. Their platform strategy targets PC Microsoft Windows almost exclusively, where all 57 titles appear. Only a handful of releases reach other systems like Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita, or Windows Mixed Reality. This suggests they prioritize digital distribution on personal computers for their audience. Quality metrics show a single rated title with an average IGDB score of 69.4 out of 100. The game Nope Nope Nurses from 2022 holds this rating. There are no titles in the great or mixed categories, and no poor ratings exist in the data. This means their single reviewed game falls into the good range. Their recent release schedule includes multiple titles scheduled for late 2025 such as Holy Valkyrie EXS-TiA: Concerto 1 and Pillaged Village: Humbled by Savages. They also list upcoming projects like Liminal Border Part IV and Yokai Busters. The bio states they work with developers large and small to bring Japanese games to English and Chinese audiences. Their output remains concentrated on PC while relying on a steady stream of localized visual novels and adventure games.
