Oninaki will be released on Nintendo Switch on August 22.

Square Enix has published a pair of new commercials for the RPG Oninaki. We’ve included the adverts for your viewing pleasure below.

Japanese outlet 4Gamer recently had a chance to speak with a few members of the Oninaki development team. Atsushi Hashimoto, Takashi Tokita, and Ryutaro Sasaki participated in the discussion. The three developers talked about why the game is an action-RPG rather than turn-based, how long the story will be, the decision to mix up the art style following I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear, and more.

We’ve now prepared a full translation of the interview. If you’re interested in learning more about Square Enix’s Switch RPG, continue on below.

Oninaki was previously confirmed for physical release in Japan. Europe will be getting a physical copy as well, though only through Square Enix’s online store.

Pre-orders are now open here. Only 3,000 copies will be made, and a reversible inlay will be included.

Note that there’s no word on a physical version for North America at this time.

To promote the new demo that was just released, Square Enix has prepared a new trailer for Oninaki. Watch it below.

As reported a short while ago, Square Enix has made a demo available for Oninaki. Take a look at some footage below.

The Switch RPG Oninaki won’t be ready for another month, but Square Enix has actually released a demo for the game. It’s currently out now in Europe and Australia. We assume that it will be extended in North America when the eShop updates tomorrow. The demo takes up 1.4GB of space.

Since Oninaki has an eShop listing, we now know the game’s file size. It’ll be a 2.7GB download on Switch.

Square Enix and Tokyo RPG Factory have sent out the latest batch of details and screenshots for Oninaki. Continue on below for the rundown on characters Lobelia and Leo along with the game’s two worlds, courtesy of Siliconera.

Oninaki will be a digital-only game in North America and Europe. In Japan, however, it’s a different story.

Square Enix will in fact be offering a physical version for Japanese fans. Thankfully, we now have confirmation that English will be supported. Fans can import a Japanese copy and play through the RPG much like they would with the digital version.

Play-Asia is currently taking pre-orders for the physical version of Oninaki. If interested, you can secure a copy here. Also, if you’re a fan of the game’s music, you can pick up the soundtrack here.
