Story Highlights

New One Studio is releasing the second installment of their popular interactive drama, Road to Empress II, on June 9, 2026. The game will be available on Android, iOS, and PC. Following the success of the original Road to Empress – a ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ style game created with award-winning producer Demi Guan – pre-registration for the sequel began in June 2025 and the launch will follow soon after.

Get ready to rise from a temple nun to the throne in a grand imperial journey

Road to Empress II boasts gorgeous palace sets, stunning 4K visuals, and excellent direction, and I predict fans will be captivated. The story begins with you as a nun at Ganye Temple, where you’ll navigate power struggles and rise to become a powerful leader. I’m particularly excited to play and experience the challenges of making decisions as Wu Zetian.

Get ready for Road to Empress II, launching globally on June 9th! You’ll start as a nun at Ganye Temple with a single goal: to become empress! Use your intelligence and cunning to navigate the dangerous palace and win favor at court…

I think it’s going to be a lot of fun, especially with over 16 hours of high-quality video content. The game again puts you in the driver’s seat, where your choices, conversations, and political strategies significantly impact the story. You can also support – or undermine – characters you like (or dislike!) and affect their popularity worldwide.

You can handle royal court affairs and political correspondence

Despite all the drama and backstabbing, you’ll eventually become the ruler and decide the dynasty’s future. You’ll also manage royal communications, keep peace between powerful families, and make critical decisions that impact the palace. I especially loved the detailed personality profile you receive at the story’s conclusion, which is completely tailored to your choices.

This sequel looks fantastic! It features stunning 4K visuals, beautifully redesigned environments inspired by Eastern palaces, and plenty of engaging gameplay. Everything has been improved for a more interactive experience, and there are even new features like memorials to discover. If you enjoyed the first game, you won’t want to miss this continuation of the story.
