Rising Star Games bringing Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi to Europe

Aksys is releasing Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi in North America. Over in Europe, Rising Star Games will be handling publishing duties, the company announced today.

IDEA FACTORY games are known for their complexity and difficulty, and this combination of its unique take on game development and Rising Star Games’ mantra of bringing top quality Japanese gaming to western markets maintains the brand faithfulness of both companies. The first title to be released in this deal is Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi, a romantic visual novel for the Nintendo 3DS. By enjoying the story and following a clever twist of consequences, players will be able to help guide Chizuru, the heroine of the tale, down a path of romance or into a murky world of corruption.

Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi is one of two Idea Factory games coming to PAL territories. Rising Star plans to announce the second one “in the near future”.

At the moment, Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi does not have a European release date. You can view some screenshots in the gallery above.
