- Fusing anime with grand strategy, new JRPG The Great Villainess gets early demo - 17 July 2025
Anime would seem like fertile ground for grand strategy. The epic space battles of Mobile Suit Gundam could be straight out of Stellaris. The mixture of political intrigue and battleground struggle make Legend of the Galactic Heroes like a Crusader Kings in space. And that's without mentioning the huge number of samurai epics (animated and otherwise) that games like Total War: Shogun have pulled from. But explicitly anime grand strategy games have been few and far between. The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily borrows freely from both grand strategy and the most tactical JRPGs, making a mix unlike anything you've ever seen before. You can check out a new demo before the game launches in less than a week. Read the rest of the story...

- Director's Message: Regarding the Story of the Game The Great Prologue ⑥ - 16 June 2025
Hello everyone, This is the development team of The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily. The Great Prologue is a series that introduces the enemy commanders that stand in the way of Scarlet and her allies. Today, we’re taking a closer look at characters who also appeared in the previous demo. (We're currently working on a new updated demo and we appreciate your patience.) The people introduced here are among the first characters Scarlet will encounter. Just who are they? Now then, Lady Scarlet, Lily-chan, take it away! ▼ The Ambitious Baroness Baron's are little too common to meet. Ugh, upper nobility. Well... That’s just how an aristocratic society works. Guess we’ll be relying on the cue cards from here on. Not my preference, but fine. Still... that outfit is a fashion crime. Apparently she fancies herself a fashion leader. ... This? Well… she definitely has a unique sense of style. An…
- Director's Message: Regarding the Story of the Game The Great Prologue ⑤ - 9 June 2025
Hello! This is the development team of The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily. Many characters appear in front of Scarlet and her allies. Some stand in the way and some stand alongside... In this edition of “The Great Prologue,” Lady Scarlet and Lily-chan will be introducing the colorful cast of characters from the Empire. We’ve greatly increased the amount of voiced lines compared to the demo, and hope to deliver a more immersive story. (*It’s not fully voiced, but they do talk quite a bit... I think!) We’d be delighted if you imagine their voices and look forward to your encounters with them. Now then— Lady Scarlet and Lily-chan, take it away! ▼ The Kind Sister of the National Church Hm? A non-combatant? Apparently she’s a sister of the Empire’s National Church. She serves as a high priestess. Ah, the one Gwyn is close with. I haven’t met her myself, but I’ve heard about her. Wow, tha…
- Director's Message: Regarding the Story of the Game The Great Prologue ④ - 2 June 2025
Hello! This is the development team of The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily. We hope you're enjoying The Great Prologue! We're now in the final stages of development, and we’d really appreciate it if you could wait just a little longer. Now, let’s have the girls continue with their introductions! This time, they’ll be talking about the people connected to the "Fortress of the Empire" that stands in Scarlet’s way. ▼The Cool Genius A rare sight, a smart one shows up for once. Weeell... Apparently, she’s the fire control officer of The Indomitable Great Wall, the central fortress defending the Imperial Capital. Oh, a fire control officer? Not only do you need precise rangefinding, but you have to predict the target’s future position as well. A critical role! ...She really was top of her class at the academy. I figured you’d be skeptical. So basically, she’s a master of trajectory calcula…
- Director's Message: Regarding the Story of the Game The Great Prologue ③ - 26 May 2025
Hello everyone, This is the The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily development team. This is The Great Prologue where Lady Scarlet and Lily-chan introduce characters from the game. We want to thank everyone for all the comments and feedback. Let’s continue with the introductions! This time, we’ll be meeting people connected to Scarlet’s family, the House of Penrose. Here we go! ▼ The White Angel of Mischief ...Is she supposed to be here? She’s definitely not someone meant for the battlefield. She’s a young lady from the House of Maple, working for my family. Absolutely smothered with affection by her family, especially her brother, who loves her more than life itself. ... You’re thinking she’s the total opposite of me, aren’t you? Nope! Didn't cross my mind, at all! Whatever. So she became a field nurse, huh? Looks like she has something to say to you. And she came all the way to the ba…
- Director's Message:The Great Prologue ② - 19 May 2025
Hello! This is the development team behind The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily. We hope you enjoyed the first “prologue chat” between Scarlet and Lily! Thank you again for all your comments and reactions! ▼About the Story The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily tells the tale of beautiful ladies rebelling against an era and society ruled by men. It’s a time when women couldn’t pursue their desires freely. When they had to hide their true feelings. Lily, and many others like her, live under such oppression. Scarlet, however, is someone who can boldly say “NO” to such a time. “Those clueless pretty boys need a good beating!” “I’m the main character here!” She’s a woman who rebels with everything she’s got. When Scarlet meets her girl of fate Lily, she gains the power of “streaming” and starts a fight with the world itself. Before they can reach their “happy ending,” enemy commanders wil…

Hello everyone, Did you have a chance to watch the "Bonding Trailer" we released on April 13th? We’ve received an overwhelming amount of feedback, and we’re truly grateful for all the support. As we count down to release, we’ll be gradually sharing more about the characters and the story that make this game so special. And to kick things off— We’ve invited Lady Scarlet and Lily themselves to help introduce everything to you! The stage is yours! ▼ The game’s 『Story』 …Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are we seriously letting Lady Scarlet handle this? How rude. Who do you think I am? I am a duchess, you know. Let me show you my impeccable public image. Ahem… “This is a tale where we use our enemies and totally f—” Stop right there! Don’t say stuff like that! Hold on a sec— I’ll write a proper script. ——————【Strategy Dogma Ⅰ】—————— "The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily" is a story about 「Scarlet & Lily」…
