However in 2016, the Refine Edition of Princess Maker 2 was released in English on Steam by CFK, marking the first time a game from the series was official released in English. A full localization of the game was completed but, after being caught up in licensing hell, the English version was never officially released, although a beta copy of SoftEgg's translation was eventually leaked onto the internet. SoftEgg Enterprises, along with shareware company Adventions, announced in the mid-1990s that they would be publishing Princess Maker 2 in North America for DOS computers. A remake of Princess Maker 2 for Windows was created by GeneX in 2004 called the 'Refined Edition' which featured redrawn artwork and new voice acting. Gainax originally published the game on the PC-98 on Jand has since ported the title to a number of different platforms.
