The Caligula Effect: Overdose

It happens quite rarely, but we’ve learned of a Japanese game’s Western release date before its Japanese release date. In fact, The Caligula Effect: Overdose will even be released in North America before it’ll be released in Japan – only by two days though. FuRyu’s RPG will launch in Japan on March 14, 2019. The North American launch is set for March 12, and it’ll be released in Europe on March 15.
