Japan-exclusive Genesis game "The Hybrid Front" is getting an English fan translation
The Fourth Generation of videogame consoles, comprising the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive primarily, had a strong number of censored content in several games, and even entire games and franchises that didn't even saw the light of day outside Japan.
One such case was that of "The Hybrid Front", a turn-based strategy game released back in 1994 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, which involved a rather complex plot regarding the worldwide depletion of fossil oil, social instability, with several wars that rising from those conflicts, with a corporate power taking control over the planet. The game plays in a very similar fashion to that of Fire Emblen and Advance Wars, for those familiar with those titles.
The fan made translation for The Hybrid Front was originally being handled by Nebulous Translations, but the group went on hiatus starting in 2023. However, in a recent update by TheMajinZenki, an announcement was made that the translation was still on-going and continued by cybermind, and that players could expect the finalized translation to be released very soon, with a brand new video showcasing the translation in action:
While a certain date wasn't given for the final release, those interested in the translation can follow TheMajinZenki, cybermind and cybermind's YouTube channel for the eventual release date for it.
