Original (10/18): Loop8: Summer of Gods has been dated for Japan. The coming-of-age RPG will be out on March 16, 2023 in Japan, Marvelous confirmed today.

XSEED and Marvelous announced Loop8: Summer of Gods for the west back in September. However, a specific date has yet to be provided. The only confirmation given is that the game is on track for Spring 2023 in North America and Europe.

For those that need a refresher, check out the following overview for Loop8: Summer of Gods:

In this original coming-of-age RPG, step into the life of Nini, a newly earthbound teen who arrives in the quaint Japanese town of Ashihara in August 1983. Explore the town, befriend its people, and face off against the Kegai in turn-based battles where the outcomes depend on the relationships you’ve built and the decisions you’ve made. Use Nini’s special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing Nini and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right… or the Kegai overcome them entirely.
With one month until the world ends, how will you spend each day?
Key Features
