Rent-a-Girlfriend in new PS4 visual novel inspired by popular manga

MAGES is no stranger to visual novels on PS4, and is preparing another manga adaptation with the upcoming Rent-a-Girlfriend: The Horizon and the Girl in the Swimsuit. Very little information about the game has been announced at this point, but it is expected to release in Japan in 2024. There is no word on a Western release, but publishers like PQube have a history of localizing titles like this.

Rent-a-Girlfriend has been serialized in Weekly Shonen since 2017 and has been adapted into an anime. The series tells the story of Kazuya Kinoshita, who, after being dumped by his girlfriend, decides to – you guessed it – rent a relationship instead. Naturally, he ends up falling in love with his paid partner – but can he convince her to be his true half?

We believe the visual novel will deal with similar themes and feature varying branching and endings. You can check out a trailer above.
