Co-publishers Shiravuna, DMM Games, and developer Aquaplus announced Dungeon Travelers: To Heart 2 in Another World is coming to PC early next year.

Dungeon Travelers: To Heart 2 in Another World is coming to PC (via Steam and the Johren Store) on February 15th, 2024 – and for the first time in English. The game was originally released only in Japan for the PSP as To Heart 2: Dungeon Travelers.

For those confused on the complicated naming with this series and its releases – Dungeon Travelers: To Heart 2 is actually an origin point of the series that while still a spin-off, takes characters from To Heart 2 and continues their story. It received two sequels, Dungeon Travelers 2 and Dungeon Travelers 2-2, both of which were supposed to come to Steam but got cancelled and are now only on Johren.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Recruit a huge cast of friends from four different base classes that branch into over a dozen variations, and always build the best party for the job! Explore one long, twisting dungeon that only gets more perilous the further you go, with plenty of optional quests and side areas to unlock! The original Dungeon Travelers game takes place in a separate world from the others, drawing characters instead from the fan-beloved world of the PS2 anime classic To Heart 2.

• Prepare at the Guild! – Whenever you stop for a respite from exploring, you can identify your new gear, reequip and restructure your team, or even upgrade your characters’ classes along branching paths!
• Explore the Dungeon! – The Auto-Map function will fill in the grid with each step, letting you know where you are and where you’ve been. Be careful, though! Don’t try to go too far at once…
• Battle & Collect Monsters! – The deeper you delve into the dungeon, the more dangerous the monsters will become. You’ll need tactics to counter each new threat—and what better way to get to know your foes than by weakening them and sealing them into your book for study?
• Strategize and Win! – With every battle you’ll amass more gold, EXP, and items. It’s up to you whether to press on, or to head back outside to power up for later!

STORY

When I awoke, there was fantasy stuff everywhere⸺What kind of adventure could be in store? And will there be any way home when it’s all said and done?!

It all started after class in the student council room. Takaaki and all his friends had been gathered to test some unquestionably suspicious if not downright dangerous game—or “full-body immersive RPG experience,” in the words of its inimitable creator Ma-ryan. The play-test was only questionably voluntary.

The game started to launch. A bright flash filled the room… When Takaaki opened his eyes, he was somewhere he didn’t recognize. His friends Konomi and Tamaki were kitted out in full fantasy gear, and when he looked more closely, he realized he was too.

Were they in the game? Forget that—how would they get out? Only one lead presented itself. “In the depths of the dungeon located nearby, there lives the god who created this world…” But who could it be?

In search of more clues and hopefully some answers, the party set out into the dungeon…
