It's the only confirmed physical release of Baldur's Gate III so far. It is currently unclear whether it'll have ENG language support.

Here's the JPN opening:

I can understand not searching the whole site before creating a thread, but that was only page 2.

Was absolutely a garbage decision to only release this digitally in North America.

The game is self-published, which makes physical releases that much harder. Of course, they could've partnered with someone like iam8bit or Digital Devolver, for a limited run of copies*.

(* - but not with Limited Run Games, because they're fuckers)

Way to go. Alan Wake devs cry in shame.

The revival of the Japanese imports scene is upon us.

But not because you can't the game at all in the west like years ago, but you want a physical option.

Well they did it for divinity 1 and 2 so they could have figured it out.

it will be interesting to see those that import it and find out it’s censored. No way the Japanese version will have the nudity intact in it for sure.

It's not that hard, plus they could still partner now knowing that the game has been incredibly well received and some people would even double dip to own a physical copy.

 

[Zheph]

might triple dip... but japanese release will likely be quite different, say bye to the adult content

Waiting for PS5 disc version to be out. Maybe with some extra stuff.

Alan Wake next.
