Its title may not be familiar to you yet, but The Perfect Prince could be one of the most beautiful and emotional adventure games that will release in 2026. For now, the latest news from its creators, the Japanese company Rococo Games, is that it has confirmed its presence at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, which will be held from September 25th to 28th in Chiba, at the Makuhari Messe.
The beauty of The Perfect Prince is that the entire game is presented as a fairy tale book, with the characteristic art style and pastel tones that represent children’s stories. It’s no surprise that it has a striking appearance, given that the game’s director and producer is Eiko Sawamura, an industry veteran who has worked on titles such as Valkyrie Profile 2 and Star Ocean 4.
As you can see in the images, the game has RPG elements, but maintains its storybook aesthetic throughout. Tokyo Game Show 2025 attendees will find the game in Hall 10-C09.
