Sounds like the GDC embargo also just went up.

Steam release confirmed as well, if a mod could update the title.

6/28 release on 3DS/Vita. Steam version will be day-and-date in Japan according to Famitsu, but no word on timing for the English Steam release yet.

A highlight from the Kotaku article (click through for more):

Make sense? No? That’s the idea. Explains Kirk: “The characters don’t know where they are in the timeline, and neither does the player. When you complete a segment it goes into the larger decision tree, which tells you where it actually happens in the story. So the idea is, you play a fragment, the fragment plays out, then you go back out to the floating fragment screen and it shows you where the thing you just played fits into the narrative flow. You might start a fragment and see only two characters, but not yet know how the third died. Then you’ll play the earlier fragment later, and learn what happened.”

The demo we watched started with

Spoiler

Sigma locked to a chair while Zero monologued at him. Phi was next to him locked inside an incinerator. Diana stood between them and had to make the choice.

The cutscenes are in 3D, with a moving camera and actual in-game objects. The gun next to Sigma’s chair has 3 live rounds and three blanks. If Diana pulls the trigger it’ll shut down the incinerator whether or not the bullet is live, but she has a 50/50 chance of killing sigma. In 3 minutes, the incinerator will start and kill Phi. If Diana pulls the trigger, the door will open but Sigma has a 50/50 chance of dying.

Well really I want to know if it's Europe.

 

[sn00zer]

Having never played the games does that look good to people?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Looking good.

 

[Soriku]

Blood, blood everywhere.

Having never played the games does that look good to people?

Presentation wise? Yes, it's an improvement over the last two. Everyone is playing it for the story and the story looks like it'll be great.

 

[Sölf]

Into my fucking veins. Oh god, yes please. The wait is finally over! <3

[toastyToast]

My media blackout continues

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

AHHHHHHH! IT'S SO GOOD!

JSJDDHEEJSKZUCYCSJWJ!

 

[mStudios]

The voices are horrible. holy shit

 

[Zomba13]

So much blood, so little time.

Can't wait. Still kinda shocked we're even getting a third/conclusion.

 

[kewlmyc]

Cool, there's some locations I recognize from the other games.

Voices kinda suck though, to be perfectly honest. Hopefully they're better in the final release.

 

[Kama_1082]

Got my 3DS and Vita watch edition preorders ready to go!

 

[D-Man]

HOLY SHIT

SO MUCH BLOOD

A RELEASE DATE ALREADY?

IS THIS REAL LIFE???

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Wow, I didn't expect them to announce a release date already. June 28th isn't too far off as well, which is amazing!

 

[Bowlie]

AND PC RELEASE TOO?

WHEWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[truestatic]

Holy shit, that's soon!

I didn't dare dream I'd be playing it so soon! Day 0. Cannot wait.

 

[CrazyDude]

Not a fan of the voices.

 

[NotLiquid]

Oh my god four days after my birthday

God bless you Aksys

I am so fucking stoked

 

[kierwynn]

I need this nooooow

Guess I better get on that 999/VLR replay.

 

[Stumpokapow]

1. O H M Y G O D i haven't even watched the trailer and i'm flipping out

2. I guess the PC release didn't get cancelled after all hahaha

 

[MaximumSpider]

The acting is really bad but I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
JUNE THAT'S SO SOOOOONN AHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[mStudios]

AND PC RELEASE TOO?

WHEWWWWWWWWWWW

???

 

[C.Olimar788]

Not super into the voice acting, but I'm down! Excited to hear how soon it's coming, too!

 

[AmethystEnd]

WOOOOOOO 6/28

 

[Nyoro SF]

Steam release? Hot damn I am there!

999 and VLR could possibly come too? Today is a good day!

 

[Nibel]

YES

 

[Producer]

the music sounds more from 999 than VLR, which is great

 

[septicore]

AWESOME.

With the release date at the end of the trailer, I can now manage myself to replay the first two games in the series just before the release of this.

 

[E_Darkness]

PC?? Oh man. I still haven't finished 999, does it get good after you get a few endings or something because I don't see the fuss.

Gonna pray for 999 and VLR Steam now.

 

[Kama_1082]

I'm fucking chugging beers in excitement. I don't think my body is ready

 

[Pics_nao]

Day after my birthday. This'll be good.

 

[Xenoflare]

WOW, this is coming out much, much, MUCH sooner than I expected.

I can't wait

 

[Joyful]

everybody be covered in blood

 

[Gentleman Jack]

You buried the lede here, we're getting the game on Steam.

 

[-Horizon-]

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

999, VLR and ZTD on Steam??? WOW, MEGATON!

 

[Ridley327]

Steam release? Hot damn I am there!

999 and VLR could possibly come too? Today is a good day!

VLR really has no major issues and could be ported as is. 999 would be...interesting if kept intact, so that would require a bit more work if they didn't want to port over the mobile version.

 

[Indelible]

I loved 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, this is a day one buy on Vita.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

The blood and the release date are great to see, shame that the voices seem real rough.

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

Coming out on my birthday!
