NIS America announced that due to a manufacturing issue the North American release of Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors has been pushed back a few weeks. The game will now be released in the region on October 11, 2016. Its European release is unaffected, however, and is still scheduled for September 23, 2016.

Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors is a sequel to the original Criminal Girls, which was released in Japan on the PlayStation Portable before being released in the west in 2014 on the Vita as Criminal Girls: Invite Only. The game tasks players with rehabilitating a group of female delinquents by taking them through Hell's Reformation Program. There are seven girls in the program; however, one has snuck in and is not supposed to be there.
