The company has also announced the contents of the game’s Plus Version, exclusive to its store. It includes a physical copy of the game, a trading card pack of nine cards, a book containing art and short stories, a reversible cover sleeve, and an IFI Online Store Exclusive trading card.

IFI has also released a new trailer for the game, showcasing scenes from the Main Route love interests: Shigehira Taira, Tsugunobu Sato, Tadanobu Sato, and Takatsuna Sasaki.
In the game, the Heike clan has reached the height of its power while the Genji clan remains devastated. Shanoa, the youngest surviving male heir to the Genjo name, lives hidden within the mountains of Kurama. And he holds a deep secret, known by few — he is not a man.
When the war is over, peace returns to the land. In the first game, our heroine carved out a new fate. Birushana: Winds of Fate tells the story of what happens next. After being driven out of Kyoto by the Heikem, what will be her fate?
Here are the game’s key features, via Idea Factory International:
- We’re So Back — Beloved protagonist Shanao is back in this highly anticipated fan disc! Explore nine routes in total, including four Main Routes with all-new love interests, and five returning love interests in the Epilogues.
- What Comes After — Pick up the story where the original Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei ended in five epilogue routes. With love having bloomed on the battlefield, see what life is like for Shanao and her man of choice after the war has ended.
- Turning a New Leaf — Return to the time of war in the all-new Main Routes. Featuring four new love interests, including the Sato brothers, relive moments from the first game from new perspectives and maybe even discover new romance.
- This Action Will Have Consequences — Throughout the new Main Routes, you will have to make tough decisions. These choices will change your affection levels with certain characters and ultimately affect the outcome of your story. Which ending will you receive?
