One or EIGHT, WSS playground, and Alliance Arts have announced that The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily will launch for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2. The turn-based strategy game originally debuted on PC via Steam on July 24, 2025, and its upcoming console release will bring its unconventional mix of military tactics and livestreaming to a wider audience.
The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily follows Scarlet, a duchess who is falsely accused of murdering the king and sentenced to the guillotine. After escaping her execution with help from Lily, a girl with advanced streaming technology and a powerful aerial warship, Scarlet turns against the empire she once called home and leads a rebellion to reclaim her future.
Players will command Scarlet’s forces across a voxel-based continent, using Lily’s broadcast abilities to manipulate enemy movements, create distractions, and open opportunities for their outnumbered army. Capturing enemy commanders is another key part of the strategy, allowing players to recruit former opponents and strengthen their ranks as the rebellion grows.
Outside of battle, players can develop relationships with their allies through individual character episodes, with stronger bonds potentially unlocking more powerful units and new abilities. The game also features romantic relationships between women as part of its character-driven story.
