ESRB rates Deemo for possible physical release
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Deemo will have a physical version in Japan at the end of October. In the west, however, nothing has been announced. The good news is that this could be changing in the future.
Today, Deemo received a new rating from the ESRB. Its publisher? PM Studios, who also happened to handle the physical release of Voez – another Switch rhythm game – in the west.
As always, until an official announcement is made, this is only speculation for the time being. Still, it’s an encouraging sign that we’ll be seeing Deemo’s physical version outside of Japan.
