Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon will launch in the west this October, Koei Tecmo announced today. The game was originally announced for Japan and is set to arrive on August 31.
Here’s an overview:
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon takes place in a fictional, demon-ridden Western European city towards the end of the 19th century. The story focuses on a knight protector named Alushe and her two childhood friends – Liliana, a kind-hearted priestess, and Ruhenheid, a holy knight of the Lourdes Order. While guarding Liliana, Alushe is ambushed and killed only to later awaken as an artificial half-demon at the hands of the New Curia, a religious organization with dark ties. In the company of a variety of unlikely allies with their own pasts and agendas, Alushe’s strong desire to save Liliana gives her the strength to scatter the shadows shrouding the world and motivation to uncover the shocking truth behind the mysterious Queen of the Moon.
And a trailer:
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon launches for Switch in North America on October 24. The European release is due on October 27.

Winning Post 8 2017 launches on Switch alongside Champion Jockey Special on September 14; share save data
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Koei Tecmo has announced that, in addition to Champion Jockey Special, the horse racing simulation game Winning Post 8 2017 will also be released on September 14 on the Nintendo Switch. The interesting part is that you can share save data between both games – for example, you can use a horse you raised in Champion Jockey Special as a race horse in Winning Post 8 2017.
An English localization of either game is pretty unlikely, but if can speak Japanese and are a fan of the genre, September 14 looks to be a pretty great day.
