Torrance, Calif. — February 1, 2024 — Aksys
Games announced four new titles coming to Nintendo Switch™ as well as updates
to other games in development at the “All Aksys” event today on their official
Twitch channel, AksysGames.
New forthcoming titles include:
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (NSW/June 2024) – The popular action role-playing game
developed by Nihon Falcom comes to Nintendo Switch! 10 years ago, a colossal
earthquake devastated Tokyo and changed the lives of its inhabitants forever.
The city has since been rebuilt and life has slowly returned to a semblance of
normalcy. However, behind the veil of this newly rebuilt metropolis lies
another world, one with a sinister secret. The earthquake that originally
destroyed Tokyo was actually caused by the emergence of a mysterious and
lethal shadow world known as Eclipse. Now, action must be taken to thwart the
legions of Eclipse and ensure the protection of peace!
A
4-CD set featuring all 88 songs from the Tokyo Xanadu eX+ soundtrack will be
available exclusively on the Aksys Online Store.
Despera Drops (NSW/2025) - In the summer of 2028, Mika Amamine, studying abroad at a university in Bologna, Italy, visits Rome for a short trip with friends to celebrate the end of exams. However, during that trip, she encounters a murder incident and is subsequently arrested as a suspect. While being transported in a police vehicle, it suddenly overturns in an accident, freeing Mika along with six other criminals and they all become fugitives. Mysterious attackers appear, targeting the unique “power” that Mika possesses, and the group finds themselves pursued by both the police and the attackers. The secret hidden within Mika’s power, the identity of the attackers, and the truth behind the murder incident that started it all… Can they unravel these mysteries and reclaim a normal life?
Radiant Tale -Fanfare-
(NSW/Summer 2024) – The fandisk for "Radiant Tale" includes all-new stories,
including sugary sweet after-stories that follow the happy endings with the
five love interests in the original game, as well as new routes with two side
characters following the normal ending of the common route. Additionally, the
fandisk contains a collection of mini-episodes of events that occurred
throughout the original main story, allowing fans to further enjoy its
contents.
Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the
Witch (NSW, PS5™/Summer 2024) – Hikaru Nishime travels to live with his
grandfather on a remote island, but discovers to his dismay that his
grandfather has gone abroad. While looking for a place to sleep, Hikaru meets
Lilun, a witch who is visiting the island for certain reasons, and as the two
decide to forge a path together, their magical story unfolds.
Virche
Evermore -EpiC: Lycoris- (NSW/Fall 2024) – Return to the island of Arpéchéle
where, surrounded by the sea and black flowers of misfortune called Lycoris
Noirge, humans are cursed to die by age 23. Five new tales further explore the
world of Virche Evermore. Experience the new despair and salvation that awaits
Ceres and her suitors.
The following titles received updates:
Blazing Strike (PS4™, PS5, NSW, PC/Summer 2024) - Inspired by classic
arcade fighting game series from industry greats such as Capcom and SNK, the
upcoming 2D fighting game from developer RareBreed Makes Games evokes the
excitement and nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a
unique games system with modern mechanics.
Spirit
Hunter: Death Mark II (PS5, NSW, PC/February 15) - In Spirit Hunter: Death
Mark II, Kazuo Yashiki is back in H City to investigate supernatural
occurrences at Konoehara Academy. As in previous games in the series, the
developers have drawn on Japanese myths and folklore to create an immersive
and nuanced tale of terror. Some old faces return to aid Yashiki in his quest,
and a 2D side-scrolling mode offers a new way to explore locations. Be ready,
for when a spirit does attack, crucial mistakes mean certain death. Solve the
mysterious deaths with help from many of the original characters from the
first game, Spirit Hunter: Death Mark.
Tengoku
Struggle -Strayside- (NSW/April 4) – From the team that created Olympia Soirée
comes a comedic battle fantasy set in a place where the living and the dead
mingle, and sinners are pitted against each other in eternal battle. Rin Enma,
adopted daughter of the king of the underworld, has been tasked with tracking
down and recapturing a group of escaped sinners. Accompanying her on her
journey are four sinners hand-picked by her father. Will Rin succeed in her
mission… and will she discover love?
