PQube is among a group of publishers that consistently localises and brings Japanese titles to the West, and the latest on its slate is MAGLAM LORD, which arrived in Japan back in Spring. It'll make its debut in North America and Europe on 4th February.

It's a fantasy action RPG that features hack 'n slack combat with rather cute characters, but blends that with dating sim elements. Below is part of the PR blurb, which also confirms that there'll be DLC options tied into other popular franchises.
