So, it's been a little while since there was an update regarding new and upcoming games and things. I'm not very up to date on the Japanese devs stuff, but here's some stuff for people to (maybe) look forward to.
Also, please note I did include a couple of games that are BYOG (bring-your-own-gender) as long as they have male love interests, which can technically be played as bl or otome depending on the gender you pick.

Also, it was mentioned earlier as a concept, but I do keep an excel spreadsheet for myself for LGBTQ+ in videogames. I originally made it because it was something I wanted and I couldn't really find... especially not one that kept track of the specific data I was after. Anyway, not sure if that's something there's an interest for here, but I don't mind sharing.
