Spike Chunsoft announces four new upcoming localizations at Anime Expo 2019
Anime Expo is a yearly event that usually sees the announcement of many localizations for different JRPGs and visual novels. The first company to take to the stage at AE2019 was Spike Chunsoft, who teased three new games for western fans. An enhanced version of the 5pb visual novel, Robotics;Notes Elite will be headed west, for Nintendo Switch, Steam, and PlayStation 4, sometime next year, while the sequel, Robotics;Notes DaSH, will also release in 2020, presumably in the second half of the year. A definitive version of the first Conception game, initially released on the PSP in Japan, will also make its way west as Conception Plus: Maidens of the Twelve Stars. Lastly, we got confirmation of a translation for Crystar, an action-RPG being developed by Gemdrops, who previously helped create Lost Sphear and I Am Setsuna. This game will be launching on August 27th, for Steam and PlayStation 4. Following a trend of censoring certain imagery in video games, Spike Chunsoft confirmed that they had to censor a half-second clip of the main character's backside for the PS4 release, while the Steam version will still have this incredibly minor detail.
