Clouded Leopard Entertainment (CEO Yuen-Yuen Chen) announced that the Korean version of the adventure game 'The Grim Princess and the Monster of the Library,' developed by Nippon Ichi Software, Inc., will be officially released on July 2, 2026. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5.

This new title is the latest installment in Nippon Ichi Software's 'picture book' series, following 'The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince' and 'The Cruel King and the Great Hero.' It depicts the interaction between a monstrous being and a human through a fairy-tale aesthetic. Featuring character designs by Sayaka Oda and a scenario by Kento Jobana, the game presents a unique narrative that subverts traditional fairy-tale tropes.

A 'Digital Deluxe Edition' will be released alongside the game. This edition includes a digital art book and a digital soundtrack. The art book is packed with content, including character introductions, sketches, and commentary from the development team.

The soundtrack consists of 27 tracks in total, including 20 background music tracks composed by Takeshi Matsumoto—who has scored the previous games in the series—and 7 songs performed by Akiko Shikata, all designed to enhance the player's immersion.
