Entergram announced today that the visual novel Umineko When They Cry Blossom: Symphony of Dream and Cat Box would be coming to Nintendo Switch in Japan. Not much is known about the game at the moment, including its release date. It seems like this will be a complete collection of both the “Question Arc” and the “Answer Arc” of Umineko When They Cry.
A Western release is uncertain – there is an official English version of the original games available on Steam. However, the Switch version of Higurashi When They Cry, an earlier game in this franchise, was never released outside Japan, despite also having an official English translation. We will keep you updated.
