NIS America announced that The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster will release in North America and Europe on May 13, 2027.

The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster is a picture book-style adventure and acts as a spiritual follow-up to The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince and The Cruel King and the Great Hero. The game follows Mono, a young girl whose sister contracts a magical disease called Paper Mortis that turns people into picture books and monsters. Going to any lengths to cure her sister, Mono teams up with vengeance-seeking monster Mär and ventures into the Libratarium where her sister is kept. There, she and Mär enter picture books to learn about who the girls once were, solving puzzles and fighting bosses in the process.
