Idea Factory announced an anime adaptation of the PS Vita visual novel Code:Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ (Code:Realize ~Sōsei no Himegimi) at the Otomate Party 2015 event this weekend. The event for Otomate, Idea Factory's brand of games for female players, also announced 12 new titles, including a tentatively titled Code:Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ FD fan disc.
Code:Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ originally shipped in Japan for PS Vita last year. The game features a steampunk aesthetic and a cast of literary and historical figures, including Arsène Lupin, Abraham Van Helsing, Victor Frankenstein, Impey Barbicane, and Count Saint-Germain.
Video game publisher Aksys Games will release the original game from Idea Factory and Design Factory in North America and Europe this fall. Aksys describes the story:

One day, her quiet solitude is interrupted as the Royal Guards break in to capture her. It is then that Cardia meets Arsène Lupin, a chivalrous thief, who helps her escape the soldiers' clutches. She soon finds herself on a journey with Lupin to locate her father, who holds the answers to her mysterious condition. The two are soon joined by four more interesting and handsome gentlemen…
