" Coming Soon in 2016 NA & EU "

Announcement comes a bit later than expected but here it is

http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/kadokawa-name-pqube-root-letter-english-publisher/

Kadokawa’s announcement confirms that PQube will be the Root Letter English publishers of the game on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, and in both North America and Europe. The dual publishing in North America and Europe for PQube follows Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, and Gal*Gun: Double Peace for the originally Europe-centric publishers.

Root Letter releases in Europe and North America in 2016 for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

Cool, but when?

– Coming Soon in 2016 NA & EU (PQube)

Eh, I wanted a date.

Grim Patron · Jun 13, 2016

YES. Based Yian for good news.

Good to hear, will probably pick it up whenever it drops in Australia.

Sumio Mondo · Jun 13, 2016

Great. Now what about God Wars?

PranooY · Jun 13, 2016

In case it wasn't posted, Here is the 2 new trailers.

Too early I guess, game is only about 70% finished according to today's event

Acquiescence · Jun 13, 2016

We have received more than 50k pre-orders in Japan and other Asian territories.

That's pretty damn good for a visual novel isn't it?

Kresnik258 · Jun 13, 2016

Fantastic. The more VN's the better.

Thrilled with PQube's change in strategy too. They've honestly become one of my favourite western publishers now.

xzeldax3 · Jun 13, 2016

Oh HELL YEAH! All of these visual novels being localized is a dream come true. It feels surreal to be playing Clannad in English on Steam with achievements.

Kuraudo · Jun 13, 2016

Eh, it went from Spring worldwide release to sometime this year. Hard to celebrate that.

Zhao_Yun · Jun 13, 2016

So Root Letter as expected. Looking forward to buying it on Vita

Shizuka · Jun 13, 2016

I'm really excited, in for a Vita copy.

Rektash · Jun 13, 2016

Will preorder this for PS4 as soon as they'll let me. I would be in for some kind of special/limited edition as well.

Man, beeing a VN player has become pretty sweet these days. Just a couple years ago we were completly dependant on fan translations and BANG, in the span of maybe 2-3 years we went from nothing to quite a nice selection of official releases.

Cornbread78 · Jun 13, 2016

Hell Yeah. I look forward to this on my Vita.

Prelude. · Jun 13, 2016

PQube picking up the NISA slack. Good job.

Now that you're working with Kadokawa, try and get some Enterbrain titles, ok, PQube?

Or Demon Gaze II, I'm cool with that.

crimilde · Jun 13, 2016

gg PQube. Definitely picking this one up, looks like it'll be right up my alley. I'm intrigued. ^^

Shizuka · Jun 13, 2016

Chaos;Head Noah and Chaos;Child next, PQube.

N° 2048 · Jun 13, 2016

In for Vita.

Palette Swap · Jun 13, 2016

I was wondering yesterday when this would release here. I'm in for the Vita version.

Yasumi · Jun 13, 2016

Definitely getting the Vita version. Hope they release the Premium Edition for us too, it looks super nice.

Happy for PQube, they really seem to be making some strong industry relationships.

Oh this is super cute. Do want. I might just import for the artbook and soundtrack, as well as get a localized copy for y'know... actually playing the game.

Knowing PQube, they'll probably come up with some sort of limited edition.

aravuus · Jun 13, 2016

Sold me on 'mystery'

Lots of actually interesting VNs coming out this year. So weird.

Demon Gaze 2 is pretty much a given, Amagami or even Reco Love definitely not.

Shizuka · Jun 13, 2016

PQube is building really strong relationships, like previously mentioned. Inti Creates, 5pb and now Kadokawa. I wonder if they'll be able to foster more unexpected relationships.

Dragonslayer_023 · Jun 13, 2016

Man, PQube doing great work.

(Also please do CHN before CC, PQube

Also Acquire, ASW, Marvelous (published SK Burst and distributed SK EV in EU), and D3.

That's pretty impressive in such a short time.

Sadly, I don't think the decision is up to them, especially with no PS4 port. But we'll see what happens.

Andrefpvs · Jun 13, 2016

Had this on my "games to look out for" list for a while. I am so in.

Oh yes!!!!!

I wanted this game so bad!, it's great to see them doing a western release ;_;

But those are european publishing deals. It's impressive and opens the door, but I can't see PQube publishing something like Blazblue or Senran Kagura worldwide.

Well I'm in Europe so from my perspective those deals are very welcome. I'm not sure we would have gotten all those games without PQube.

Dr. Kitty Muffins · Jun 13, 2016

I'll be preordering on PSN as soon as possible.

NeoHorizon · Jun 13, 2016

Yeeeeessssss!!!! I been following this since it was first announced so I'm very happy its coming here. Hoping for more visual novels besides Steins;Gate 0 on Vita.

lazyproblems · Jun 13, 2016

Excellent, can't wait to play. Glad that they're doing another VN, hopefully there are even more to come.

I want that limited edition, or at least the OST and artbook.

Yasumi · Jun 13, 2016

PQube pls.

muteki · Jun 13, 2016

Finally an update for the west. Want so much.

Shizuka · Jun 13, 2016

Yasumi said:
PQube pls.

Is that good? I can't tell.

"Experience localisation". I think they're just messing around, but still. D:

kunonabi · Jun 13, 2016

Didn't realize this was getting a PS4 release. I'm super excited now.

Shizuka · Jun 13, 2016

I've seen my share of typos from PQube and their team, I just can't worry since it's still months ahead of release...

Delusibeta · Jun 13, 2016

It's an outsourced localization.

Which isn't inherently a problem, since pQube has zero experience of localization in house.

I think Gal Gun might be their first in-house localization, actually. At least, I've seen some tweets about translating it.

That's good, better to have an outsourced localization than hiring a team to do it without knowledge or experience.

Kasper · Jun 13, 2016

Looking forward to playing this on my Vita. This game looks so good!

Experience localization team.

Experience Inc.

They've got NISA localizing it, aka the Experience Inc. localization team who worked on Demon Gaze/Operation Abyss/Stranger of Sword City.

Now I've solved that mystery, Root Letter is going to be easymode.
