An announcement came down the line this week that XSEED is planning to launch its mature horror game, Corpse Party, later this summer. The game is a “linear horror experience” and has been described in press info as:
“Remastered from the 2011 PSP game, the Nintendo 3DS rendition of Corpse Party will feature redrawn, high-resolution character sprites, newly arranged music tracks, and 3D art stills, as well as four new Extra Chapters exclusive to this version that provide insight into lesser-shown characters and plot elements previously left unexplained.”
The download-only version will cost $29.99USD, but there will also be a limited “Back to School” edition available for $49.99USD. That version will include customizable miniature figures of game characters Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara, plus an 80-minute game soundtrack featuring songs not preciously featured on the “Songs of the Dead” compilation and three 3DS exclusive tracks.
Interested parties should also note that this 3DS title is actually a remastered port of a game originally launched on the PSP as a Corpse Party sequel overseas, called Corpse Party: Blood Covered…Repeated Fear, but it’s being rebranded for its western release.
