Toei Animation and Studio51 have presented Expelled from Paradise: The Stellar Angel, a visual novel that picks up the story of the 2014 film. The title will be released during winter on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, with text in English and Japanese. The plot follows Angela and Dingo on a new science fiction adventure, combining evocative storytelling with immersive large-scale direction.
Graphics engine and interaction design in the sequel 🎮
The game uses a proprietary Studio51 engine that optimizes the loading of 2D backgrounds and 3D models, allowing smooth transitions between scenes. Real-time rendering for characters has been prioritized, with a dynamic lighting system that adjusts tones according to the narrative context. The user interface is minimalist, with options for auto-advance and quick save. On PC, the title supports resolutions up to 4K and stable 60 FPS rates, although minimum requirements have not been detailed.
Angela and Dingo still have no free time ☕
Because of course, after saving the world in the movie, the logical thing would be for Angela and Dingo to take a vacation. But no: Toei and Studio51 have decided their well-deserved rest can wait. Apparently, in the digital paradise, there are no days off, and the only way to relax is by solving another interstellar conflict. At least this time you can do it from the couch, with a cup of tea in hand and no fear of a cyber angel interrupting your game.
