During a
livestream from Japan, Muv-Luv developer âge announced that that parts 00 to 03 of Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After are coming to Steam.
The studio also revealed that the development of a mobile version is being considered and that the development of episode 04 is progressing.
If you’re unfamiliar with Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After, it’s a series of visual novels originally released for PC as part of the Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles series between 2010 and 2013.
The rest of Chronicles has been then ported to PS3 as Photonflowers and Photonmelodies. The former has already been released in English on Stgeam (and
you can read our review), while
the latter should be coming soon.
Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After is quite interesting as it’s a direct sequel to Muv-Luv Unlimited. It branches off the main trilogy in a much darker way. Yes. if you’re wondering, it’s even darker than Alternative in some of its aspects. You can check out a relevant trailer from the original release at the bottom of the post to gate a glimpse at the cast.
Creator Kouki Yoshimune and producer Kazutoshi Matsumura also talked about localization. They did not make promises about releasing Unlimited The Day After in English for now, but they mentioned that going forward releases in Englsh and Chinese are considered a releavant goal.
They explained that they want to aim for the world, mentioning that it would be a bummer for Japanese people as well if they had to wait six months for Hollywood movies.
According to Matsumura-san, the goal going forward is to release future games simultaneously in Japan, China, and the west.
On top of that, we also got the reveal of a collaboration with Cydonia’s mobile game ASH arms, which will start on May 18. Below you can see the art for the characters that will appear in the game, Meiya Mitsurugi from the original trilogy, Irisdina Bernhard from Schwarzesmarken, and Yui Takamura from Total Eclipse.
