FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time has faced a long and confusing journey to release. Initially slated for a 2023 launch, the game has experienced several delays over the years. The most recent update suggested an April 2025 release, but that plan has now changed. According to the latest trailer, the game is now officially set to launch on May 21st, 2025.
NintendoUp’s Take
I really enjoyed my time with the original 3DS game. This new sequel looks much improved, and the only question left is how much free time this game is going to suck out of me. I’ll likely be covering the game when it launches here on the site.
