Many RPGs put you in the role of rescuing princesses. However, Slay the Princess throws the gender stereotype out the window by giving you the task to, well, you know the title. Reviewers, including our own Jerry Williams, were wowed by this surreal visual novel last year. It’s hitting consoles digitally this year as Slay the Princess – The Pristine Cut, but if you are willing to wait a little longer, you can purchase a physical copy packed with extra goodies in early 2025!

About Slay the Princess – The Pristine Cut

You’re on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.

You’re here to slay her. If you don’t, it will be the end of the world.

She will do everything in her power to stop you. She’ll charm, and she’ll lie, and she’ll promise you the world, and if you let her, she’ll kill you a dozen times over. You can’t let that happen. Don’t forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.

You’re not going to listen to him, are you? We’re supposed to save princesses, not slay them…

The Pristine Cut Features

• 3 brand new chapters replete with mysteries — and consequences.
• Never before seen Princesses who will all murder you without a second thought.
• Expansions to familiar routes. The Den, The Apotheosis, and The Fury each have more than doubled in length.
• Over 35% more content overall — and all of it filled with great opportunities to listen to me and do your job.
• A new ending. And hopefully one that saves the world rather than damns it.
• Track your progress: Cherish your memories, relive your exploits, and uncover deeply hidden secrets with the new gallery feature.
• Over 1,200 new hand-penciled frames hand illustrated by Abby Howard.
• Over 2,500 new lines of dialogue fully voiced by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.

Yes, prepare yourself for an expanded journey filled with new perils, difficult choices, and unforgettable encounters. Will you stay on the path to slay the Princess, or will the new chapters alter your fate? (That said, while I wish free-will weren’t a thing here, I cannot emphasize this enough: you have to slay her. Please.)

Slay the Princess – The Pristine Cut launches digitally for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and as a free update if you own the original Steam release sometime in Fall 2024. The collector’s and premium physical editions will launch for PS5 and Switch sometime in the first quarter of 2025.

Stay tuned to RPGFan as we get closer to the fall! Whatever you do, you better slay that princess! The fate of the world depends on it!
