Rance Quest

Latest information
Rance VIII, officially titled "Rance Quest", will continue after Sengoku Rance. And according to the official AliceSoft site, will be released in Summer (of Japan) 2011.

Rance 8 is a RPG game and not a SLG. The gameplay of Rance 8 will be quite similar to Rance 6 with a few features from Sengoku Rance added especially in the system of turn-based time advancement and how characters are able to act in battle.

Based on gameplay screenshots released, maps in the background are Zeth's map. This mean parts of the story will happen in Zeth, and it also explains why so many former members of Ice Flame return.

On May 20, 2011, a plot device was introduced to explain why characters like Kenshin begin at a low level. Rance will be cursed by Pastel Kalar, preventing him from H-ing women under level 35. And women he does manage to H will be drained to level 1 (due to the curse).

A trial version was released on 27th of May, 2011. Players may briefly read conversations, explore the map, and battle once. The demo is mostly for players to test whether their systems can handle the 3D graphic-intensed game.
