Corpse Party

XSEED has finally confirmed that Corpse Party will arrive in North America on October 25. It will cost $50 at retail as part of the limited “Back to School Edition” physical release, and a $30 digital option will also be available.

Corpse Party is also slated for Europe, where it will only be sold digitally starting on October 26.

In other news, Exile’s End is also coming out on October 25, but not on Wii U. XSEED says details regarding the eShop version and European release “will be provided at a later time.” When we do see it, the title will cost $9.99.

Head past the break for overviews of both Corpse Party and Exile’s End. We also have new assets for both below.

We’ve been wondering when Corpse Party would be releasing in the west ever since the localization announcement in April. XSEED originally targeted a summer launch window in North America, but the season passed by without any news.

The most recent date we heard was October 4 from various retailers. Well, Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and GameFly have updated their listings again, and now point to October 25.

The good news? That may be final. For one thing, Corpse Party is now actually listed on the eShop, and carries an October 25 release date. We also heard a couple of weeks ago that the game had appeared on the European eShop with a similar date.

Hopefully XSEED will come forward with an official date soon. Marvelous also has to officially confirm Corpse Party for Europe, as the only “announcement” we have to go by is the eShop listing.

A few months ago, Corpse Party 3DS was announced by XSEED for localization. In North America, the game should be out sometime within the next month or so. We hadn’t heard about anything for Europe, though that has now changed.

A listing on the eShop reveals that Corpse Party is in fact planned for PAL regions. Additionally, it’ll apparently be launching on October 26 in Europe – meaning we can probably expect it around the same time in North America. That date might be slightly off since games don’t usually launch for Nintendo platforms digitally on Wednesdays, but… we’ll see.

As for the price, it’s €29.99, and XSEED will apparently be publishing (rather than Marvelous).

Corpse Party – short video

Publisher XSEED Games has added some new footage to their Facebook of Corpse Party for the 3DS. You can watch the full video below.

 

XSEED confirmed the localization of Corpse Party on 3DS back in April. As part of the initial announcement, the publisher said the game would be ready to hit store shelves this summer. Those plans may have since changed.

For one thing, time is running out on summer. We still don’t have a concrete date, and we’re a month away from the start of fall. Retailers also started to update their Corpse Party listings this past week. While many had the game pinned down for a tentative August 30 launch, the likes of Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and GameFly now indicate that it’ll be available on October 4.

In any case, this is all partially speculation on my part. There are still a few weeks left in the summer, so maybe XSEED is simply gearing up for a (very) late fall release. Hopefully we’ll find out what’s happening soon.

Yesterday, XSEED showcased its full slate of titles from E3. Footage was shown from a variety of games including Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, Exile’s End, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, and Corpse Party. See the recording below.

Footage of E3 demos are still coming in. This time, Nintendo World Report has shared a few minutes of off-screen Corpse Party gameplay. See it in the video below.

The E3 2016 trailer for Corpse Party is in. We’ve gone ahead and attached it below.

Update: Bumped to the top. The 20% Prime discount is now live for Prime members.


Last week, XSEED announced that Corpse Party 3DS will be localized for North America this summer. The game will be sold on the eShop, but a limited “Back to School Edition” physical release is also being made available. Amazon now has this up for pre-order here.

Corpse Party: Back to School Edition includes a couple of special items. Along with the game, you’ll receive high-quality miniature figurines of characters Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara plus a soundtrack CD. The CD includes nearly 80 minutes of music from the game not previously featured on the “Songs of the Dead” compilation, including three tracks exclusive to the 3DS version.

XSEED made a big Corpse Party localization announcements yesterday, including the news that the 3DS game is scheduled for a summer launch in North America. The publisher has since put up a Tumblr post clarifying certain aspects of the release and more.

First, XSEED shared the following about retaining all voices and avoiding censorship:

– Worry the First: The 3DS version has no voice-acting, right?

Wrong! The 3DS version is fully voiced, utilizing the exact same Japanese-language voice recordings as the PSP version of the game, in all their 3D binaural glory. I think the origin of this rumor may have been the four 3DS-exclusive Extra Chapters – new content created specifically for this version of the game. These four Extra Chapters are not voiced (save for flashbacks to other parts of the game), but every other Chapter and Extra Chapter is, with not a single voice file from the PSP version missing or unaccounted for.

– Worry the Second: The 3DS version has to be censored, right?

Nope! All versions of Corpse Party released by XSEED Games are presented to you with no content removed or altered whatsoever (save for the small handful of sniggly things we had to change for legal reasons, like a Nokia ringtone). The ESRB M rating exists for a reason, after all, and our M rating for Corpse Party 3DS has already been secured.

You can find XSEED’s full post here. If you’re a Corpse Party fan, it may help you decide between the new 3DS / PC versions and the old PSP title.
