Project Triangle Strategy

One of the more exciting announcements from last month’s Nintendo Direct was Project Triangle Strategy. The game builds off the success of Octopath Traveler by adopting the same art style, but the format has changed to a tactical RPG.

During Game Live Japan, a Q&A was published with producer Tomoya Asano. Asano was asked about the game’s genre, length, and when more information was shared.

Here’s a full translation from Nintendo Everything:

Katana Zero’s big, free DLC remains in the works two years after the game initially released. Askiisoft provided a status update today to let fans know what’s been happening behind the scenes.

When we heard about the DLC last year, Askiisoft said that it had grown in scope to be three times bigger than originally planned. That has since increased to six times the original planned size. “That’s a bit over half the size of the main game,” Askiisoft said. The studio thinks of the DLC “more like Katana 1.5.”

As for when we’ll be seeing the DLC, there’s still no word on timing. Although there’s still plenty of work to do, the plan is now set and the scope won’t expand any further.

Here’s the full update from Askiisoft:

Demon Turf

Playtonic Friends will publish Fabraz’s 3D platformer Demon Turf, the company announced today. A new release window of Summer 2021 is also now confirmed.

Here’s a whole bunch of information about Demon Turf:

Astria Ascending

Following its reveal earlier this week, Dear Villagers and Artisan Studios have officially announced Astria Ascending. The RPG will launch on Switch worldwide in 2021.

Here’s an overview with official details:

Hoa

Hoa, the adventure-platformer originally scheduled for April, has been delayed. PM Studios and Skrollcat Studio announced today that the game will now launch in July.

While the delay will come as a disappointment to fans, there is some good news for collector’s. It’s now confirmed that Hoa will be sold physically at retailers. You can pre-order the game on Amazon here.

Monyuu

Experience announced its new dungeon RPG Monyuu for Switch last week. During a new “EXP Channel” live stream today, fresh information was shared as well as first actual gameplay.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits, courtesy of Gematsu:

Balan Wonderworld

Some pretty concerning news started to spread yesterday regarding an actual health risk while playing Balan Wonderworld. When going up against the final boss, there’s a photo-sensitive epilepsy risk. Those that suffer from seizures or flashing effects in general could be putting themselves in harm’s way.

If there’s one bright spot to the situation, it’s that Square Enix has already addressed the issue, which is a result of an apparent bug. The company says that the game’s day one patch – which should be live – removes any potential health triggers.

The full statement is as follows:

The Caligula Effect 2

FuRyu and Historia have issued another music trailer for The Caligula Effect 2, this time for Bluffman. Have a look at the video below.

The Caligula Effect 2 arrives for Switch on June 24 in Japan. It will release this fall in North America and Europe. Check out previous music trailers featuring Kudan here, Kranke here, Doctor here, #QP here, MU-kun here, Pandora here and Machina here.

Monster Hunter Rise

Capcom has announced via twitter that additional content will be added to Monster Hunter Rise via free updates in the coming weeks. The tweet, translated by NintendoLife, explains:

“Monster Hunter Rise” In “Ver.2.0” scheduled to be delivered at the end of April, “Nushi Rio Leus” will be newly released! Several additional monsters, including the Kasumi Dragon “Onazuchi”, will appear as early as about a month later. Prepare for more monsters!

No official patch notes have been released yet.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has reached an impressive sales milestone in its first month of release. Marvelous has announced that the game has sold over 700,000 worldwide units (counting both digital and physical sales) with a short time on the market. 

The western version of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has only been out for three days (launching March 23), while the Japanese version has been out since February 25, 2021. This is quite the sales accomplishment given this small time of being released and the fact the game is only on the Switch.

Hopefully, the sales will continue to climb and Marvelous will give more updates on the sales numbers soon.
