茜色

茜色 (Scarlet Shades) is a yuri visual novel that launched on September 13, 2024. The game received a paid DLC on January 28, 2025 [NEWS-6], which added a post-True End story including a wedding chapter, honeymoon, and additional endings — framed as giving the story "a more perfect ending." The developer also released English and Japanese localizations on December 25, 2024 [NEWS-7], a DLC English translation on March 1, 2025 [NEWS-8], and a bug fix in October 2025 [NEWS-9]. The key forward-looking signal is the February 16, 2026 post [NEWS-4], in which the developer delivered a free short story ("2026.2.16") to all DLC owners as a New Year gift, and explicitly stated: "In the future, the 茜色 DLC may have other updates — please look forward to it." This is a direct statement from the developer that further DLC content is possible, meaning the game is not fully closed off. The developer's most recent communication was March 17, 2026 [NEWS-1], announcing the relaunch of their second game "Only You." The studio (忘雪社 / Snowforget Studio) remains active and engaged with their catalog. The last direct communication about 茜色 itself was the February 16, 2026 free update post — approximately seven months before today's date of September 24, 2026. While there has been no further 茜色-specific update since February 2026, the developer's statement that future DLC updates may come has not been retracted or superseded. Combined with the studio's demonstrated activity and the occasional nature of these free story vignettes, the DLC remains in a state of potential ongoing support.
