Romance Club Update Schedule and New Episodes

Watch for the “New Episode Release Schedule” post

The main announcement comes about a month ahead. On October 20, 2026, the English Telegram channel posted the schedule for November 21–22: for each story, the season and episode numbers, and for brand-new stories a line like “New Story 62.”

Three labels in that post are worth knowing:

• “Season 4 (final)” — the season is the story's last, but the story is still running;
• “Episode 17, finale” — the story ends with this episode;
• “No new episodes” — the story sits this update out.

I save that post the moment it appears. It tells me which story to catch up on before the release and which one can wait until next time. Which stories have ended and which are on hold is on the completed stories page.

What's coming on November 21–22, 2026

Four stories get no new episodes this time: Love from Outer Space; Love, Sin & Evil Vol. 1; Advent No. 3; and Code Blue.

Expect a Saturday and a post on release day

On release day the English channel posts “Update is now available on Android, iOS, and Steam.” On October 3, 2026 that post went up at 4:30 p.m. UTC. Three days later came the “Spoiler alert” thread, and that's my deadline for getting through my main story.

Four of the five came out on a Saturday; only the May update landed on a Friday. The gaps run 48 to 50 days, and November 21 is exactly seven weeks after October 3.

The countdown starts about two weeks out

The run-up looks the same every time. For the October update, the channel announced on September 21 that testers had started on the new episodes — first Song of the Crimson Nile, The Sins That Cry for Vengeance and Waterlily. Then came daily teasers: a line of dialogue, a cutscene, a soundtrack, “guess the story.” When the teasers start, the release is close.

Sometimes a story vanishes for a couple of days

On October 3, 2026, Song of the Crimson Nile went offline for up to 48 hours because of a problem with the update build; the studio said so in Telegram the same day. If your story disappears right after an update, check the channel before reinstalling the game.

Don't mix up big updates and technical ones

Between episode releases the studio ships technical updates: bug fixes, new card decks, new features. The September 17, 2026 one added the Love Interest Wardrobe, the outfit store, story search and custom loading screens. The October 14 one fixed bugs in nine stories, including one that kept players from repairing the relationship with Zane in Advent No. 3. None of them bring new episodes. A fix applies once you restart the affected episode, so replay it if a scene still looks wrong.

The big update also tends to quiet Diamond Rush down: the last Rush before it and the first one after are about two weeks apart. The rhythm of the events is on the Diamond Rush page, and here are all recent events and releases together:

The episodes are out, but not on your phone

Most likely the app hasn't updated yet. New episodes come with a new version of the app, so check your store for an update first. If the store already shows the latest version and the story still won't open, look for a studio post about it before you reinstall.
