Hot on the heels of a delay for Japan, Xseed & Marvelous announced the western release date of the coming-of-age JRPG Loop8: Summer of Gods.
The game will launch for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on June 6, which is just a few day after the new release date for Japan.
The price for the Standard Edition is $49.99, and a limited Celestial Edition will be priced at $69.99. Of course, Steam users don't get that one, but a special Digital Deluxe edition will be available for $59.99 with the original soundtrack and a digital artbook.
The announcement was accompanied by a trailer, which you can enjoy below.
The Celestial Edition includes a 5.25” by 7.25” softcover artbook with over 50 pages, a musical selections CD, a 7” by 10.5” mini wall scroll, and a 4” by 3.15” Japanese wooden ema, all packed in a custom box. (and you can see what it looks like below).
