PLAYISM and Glitch Pitch have announced Idol Manager: Virtual Venture, the sequel to the pop idol management simulator. This installment shifts the focus toward the world of virtual streaming, where players run a vtuber corporation. Early access on Steam will arrive in 2027, with text in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
Customization and streaming tools as core gameplay 🎮
The game introduces mechanics specific to the world of virtual streaming. Players will be able to customize avatars for their talents, manage streaming assets, and select background music for broadcasts. These tools aim to replicate the logistics of a vtuber agency, from model creation to content planning. Early access will allow developers to fine-tune these features with community feedback.
Now you can exploit digital avatars for labor 😈
Because managing flesh-and-blood idols was too easy. Now, instead of dealing with human egos, you can overload 3D models that never complain (until the physics engine fails). If you've always dreamed of being the producer who schedules 12-hour streams for an anime character, this is your chance. Just remember: vtubers also have rights, even if they are polygons.
