Here’s some additional information about the project plus a trailer:

Back in May, it was confirmed that 5pb.’s visual novel “YU-NO: A girl who chants love at the bound of this world” would be getting a North American release. Today, Numskull Games announced that they will publishing the game in Europe and Australia. The game will be released in these territories on October 4; the North American release date is October 1. The game will be getting both a physical and a digital version. There’s no word yet on the limited edition the North American market is receiving.
Head past the break for the full press release from Numskull Games:
The next big update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is coming very soon, and so is the next DLC character, Hero from Dragon Quest. Masahiro Sakurai will be showing off the Hero in a special video tomorrow. Many fans have speculated that version 4.0.0 and along with that the release of the Hero, would be available soon after that video presentation. It seems like that’ll be the case, as Nintendo of Europe might have accidentally revealed the release date of 4.0.0. In a tweet this morning, they said that version 4.0.0 would be released on July 31, this Wednesday. The tweet has since been deleted and replaced with one that omits the date, but Twitter user @Chocobalt managed to take a screenshot of the original:
While this isn’t 100% confirmed yet, it seems very likely that version 4.0.0 will be available on the 31st.
Fire Emblem Heroes will be getting its next update sometime in August. Four new weapon refines will be added in that update:
- Selena’s Blade for Selena: Cutting Wit
- Beruka’s Axe for Beruka: Quiet Assassin
- Book of Orchids for Mae: Bundle of Energy
- Inscribed Tome for Boey: Skillful Survivor
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Pokemon Sword/Shield is back at the top for Nintendo titles, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses ends its run at #8.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 11 and July 17.
