The Campfire campaign that launched in Japan late last month has met its 15 million yen funding goal, meaning the next game in the Spirit Hunter series will be making its way to both PS4 and Switch. While developer Experience previously said that they’d go ahead with development regardless of whether the target was met, a few stretch goals still remain with 17 days of funding left to go. The goals are as follows:

20 million yen

• Additional costume for the protagonist (from the voice drama Death Mark: Blue Demise)
• Voice-overs increased by 50 percent
• Additional horror scene visuals (event CG)

25 million yen

• Theme song production
• Implementation of a death scene expression change system
• Addition of former marked characters that do not appear (Towako Yasuoka, Suzu Morimiya, Tsukasa Yoshida, etc.)

30 million yen

• Additional downloadable content production (series collaboration story)
• Spirit Hunter series event (concert? collaboration cafe? etc.)
• Novelization

Play-Asia has opened pre-orders for the Devil May Cry Triple Pack. You can reserve the collection here.

Currently exclusive to Japan, the Devil May Cry Triple Pack contains the first game on a cartridge and the two subsequent titles as digital downloads. That means you’ll likely need to redeem Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3 from the eShop. However, all three games are expected to have English support.
