I know I am a little behind on releases. Work has been hectic, and I haven’t had much time to work on these. Thank you for your patience and continued support. I’ll do my best to catch up! I think I’ll start posting updates on Mastodon if that’s an easier way to stay updated, but let me know if there are better options. Make sure you always support the official release, and don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share these with your friends!

Onminomon floats over the two Digimon. Its armor glows from the energy gathering at the tip of the cannon. Omnimon aims it at Helloogarmon, who continues to wriggle in pain. The metallic wolf at the end of the cannon glistens preciously as arcs of energy spill out of its mouth. Omnimon releases the beam. It comes crashing down, engulfing Helloogarmon in a blinding white spotlight of frozen energy before vanishing in the same instant.

Hellogarmon lays motionless, its body and flames left frozen by the blast. Inside the Digicore, Eiji writhes in agony. He vaguely remembers the ice beam washing over them as he slowly loses consciousness. His body burns with unbearable pain. He feels his life slowly fading as he desperately tries to hold onto consciousness.

Eiji’s vision blurs and darkens, but he can still make out the outline of the holy knight as it moves towards them. He struggles to concentrate, but he can make out the menacing blade thirsting for their lives. In his struggle with consciousness, Eiji can make out his own name written in the strange runes that decorate the face of the blade.

“Delete all!” Omnimon’s words fall onto Eiji with a soothing calm. As Omnimon readies for his final blow, Eiji becomes at peace with death. Eiji welcomes the darkness.

CRACK

Omnimon stumbles from a blow to its back.

“Loogamon!” an unseen voice shouts.

Pulsemon?…the familiar voice pulls Eiji back from the darkness. His vision clears as he watches Kazuchimon crash into Omnimon, sending both Digimon flying.

The force of the vortex picks up the flying Digimon and pulls it towards its center. Omnimon struggles to pry Kazuchimon off, but Kazuchimon holds on tightly. Omnimon brings down heavy blows that leave Kazuchimon bruised and bloodied, but Kazuchimon remains unfazed. The vortex continues to pull them closer and closer to its pit.

“Eiji” Leon’s voice crackles from the distance. His voice is barely audible.

“Let go Leon…You have to let go. The vortex is sucking you up!” Eiji shouts back helplessly.

“This…Knight…the last…” Leon’s message comes in gargled with static.

Eiji tries to move but finds himself frozen in the darkness. His body still aches from the bast. His eyes swell with tears, “LEON!!” Eiji watches as his friend is pulled farther and farther away.

“I’m sorry Eiji. I don’t know if you can still hear me. This whole thing is fucked. I tried to save you…I just didn’t know what else to…” his message cuts off. Eiji sits in the silent darkness of the Digicore.

With one sharp elbow, Omnimon frees itself from Kazhuchimon’s grip and turns its attention to Eiji.

Shido Ittetsu!

Before Omnimon can make its escape, an electromagnetic barrier forms around the two Digimon.

“You aren’t getting away!” Leon shouts. Around him, alarms blare loudly as Leon uses the last of his mindlink energy to seal Omnimon. Kazuchimon grapples Omnimon. Omnimon struggles as its limbs become locked in the hold. It turns its head to glare at Kazuchimon. Leon stares back at the angry eyes. “For as long as I’ve got left, you’re not going anywhere.”

Eiji continues to watch as Kazuchimon and Omnimon inch closer to the core.

“They’re nearly through…” Eiji says to himself.

Suddenly, the Digicore around him springs to life. Monitors start to fill with data and status updates. Eiji’s commands begin to register. He fights through the pain and begins typing furiously.

Helloogarmon rises slowly. It shakes off the last bits of frost. Its few lingering flames go out, leaving a charged werewolf skeleton. Hellogarmon splashes through black dirty puddles as it stumbles to its feet. It begins to glow and shrink as it turns back into Loogamon. It takes another step before falling back to the ground.

“Loogamon!” Eiji shouts excitedly, as he appears suddenly next to his fallen friend. He kneels beside Loogamon, “Hang in there buddy.”

“…Eiji…What’s…going on?” Loogamon makes out weakly.

“I’ll tell you later.” Eiji lets out a sigh of relief, forgetting for a moment about the danger around him. But reality hits him suddenly. Eiji looks toward his disappearing friend and shouts, “Leon! Get out of there! You win Leon, I’ll quit! Just get out of there!” The whirl of the vortex drowns out his words.

Eiji watches as Kazuchimon and Omnimon disappear into the Vortex. A moment later, it disappears. The sky fills with an eerie peacefulness. Around him, the world goes silent. Eiji begins tending Loogamon’s wounds. Tears fall down his cheek as the realization hits him. There was nothing more he could do.

Digimon Seekers Chapter 2-7: When Old Friends Catch up

August 30, 2023 josechurape 4 Comments

Make sure you read read the original release, and I’ll do my best to get my version out on Monday. If you enjoy my work, please like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!

Eiji and Leon walk towards the Café. An awkward eagerness hangs over each step as they search for the right way to initiate conversation. Their footsteps echo off the empty corridor, and the news plays quietly somewhere behind them. The words have become unintelligible, but both knew it was about the attack on Nation X.

“It’s been a while,” Eiji finally says, breaking the silence.

“Since middle school,” Leon nods. They share a warm awkward smile between them. “It’s good to see you, man,”

“Yeah. You got a lot taller, and buff!” Eiji flexes his arm.

Leon chuckles, “Yeah, I grew up.”

Leon and Eiji swipe their IDs to get into the Café. The place is mostly empty, with only a couple patrons enjoying a small afternoon snack. The boys are hit with the rush of freshly ground coffee, but there is a faint hint of vanilla mixed somewhere in its composition. Soft jazz fill the space left behind the espresso machine and coffee grinder. The two friends find a seat in the most secluded part of the cafe.

“I can’t believe you found my information so quickly,” Eiji says as he takes a sip from his iced drink. “So you’re a big-shot hacker now?”

Leon smirks. “It wasn’t too difficult. But I was surprised to see you moved.”

Eiji is silent for a moment. There is a moment of sadness in his expression, but he shakes it off almost as quickly as it appears. He clears his throat. “Yeah…I live on my own now. Been living alone for a while now.”

“Me too. Since I got back to Japan actually. I have a place in Denrin.” Leon takes a sip of his coffee. “So you work for Professor Ryusenji now? How’s that going?”

“Oh, it’s great! The professor is a little odd, but he’s good people. He got me this steady job, with a decent paycheck!”

“And you’re also a famous Code Cracker!” Loen laughs.

“Not yet, but we will be!” Eiji winks playfully.

“Oh that’s right, you got a partner now too.” Leon pulls out a keychain with a small LCD screen on one side. The pixel sprite version of Pulsemon bounces in place. Leon dangles the keychain off his middle finger and holds it in front of Eiji. The keychain spins slowly from its chain. “You remember Pulsemon? He’s been with me since we were kids!”

Eiji bursts out laughing. “I always thought it was a fancy Tomagachi!”

Leon laughs as he scoops up the keychain and presses the hologram button. Pulsemon suddenly appears on the empty chair next to Leon. His body gives off a faint yellow glow to the furniture around him, and small sparks occasionally ark over its body. Pulsemon vibrates impatiently. His feet kick wildly over the edge of the seat.

“Oh right, we can do that here.” Eiji raises his wrist and begins scrolling through the settings of his digilinker. Loogamon’s hologram appears next to Eiji. The fur down his back stands angrily as he turns his attention to Pulsemon. He lets out a growl as his body tenses. Pulsemon smirks as he jumps up on his chair, readying himself.

“Enough!” Both Eiji and Leon say in unison.

“Loogamon, chill. That’s my friend.”

“Pulsemon, behave!”

Loogamon sits reluctantly and eyes the yellow Digimon suspiciously. Pulsemon sticks its tongue out the wolf.

“So the professor gave you a keychain dock?”

Leon nods. “He said I looked like someone who would be a good caretaker, and here we are.” He turns to Pulsemon and smiles.

“What’s that shiny rock on your head for? Does it come out?” Pulsemon asks mockingly as it reaches for the gem. Loogamon growls and snaps at Pulsemon’s hand. Pulsemon laughs, “Geez, someone’s touchy.”

“So you’re the Professor’s apprentice or something?” Eiji asks

“More of an assistant. The professor is a busy guy, and I grab his mail, set his appointments, stuff like that.”

“Ouch,” Eiji replies, feeling a bit fortunate. “But it’s kind of funny that we both met because of him.”

“Small world.” Leon stares at the watch around Eiji’s wrist, somewhat lost in a thought. “So how is it you came to have the latest version of the Digimon linker?”

“Isn’t it sweet?” Eiji raises his wrist to show it off. “I came to him for a job. He asked me to go catch him this rare Digimon… ModokiBatamon and gave it to me as a bonus.”

“He does like his Batamon…” Leon responds, still somewhat distracted.

Eiji nods. “He then told me about this job,” he says, motioning to Loogamon. “He wanted me to raise Loogamon for him. Pretty cool huh?”

Leon shakes his head. “It should have been me,” Leon snaps suddenly. “He should have asked me. I’m his actual student…” There is a undeniable hint of jealousy and resentment in his tone.

Shocked by his friends sudden outburst, Eiji is at a loss for words.

“We would have won if we fought you know,” Pulsemon says to Loogamon.

“What did you say you little…”

“You can barely keep your champion form! I’ve made it all the way to mega,” Pulsemon smiles as he flexes for Loogamon.

Loogamon snarls as he stands up angrily. Its tail waves furiously behind it.

“Enough Loogamon! Pulsemon has a point.” Eiji remembers their encounter with Kazuchimon. At this stage, they didn’t stand a chance against them, but both Eiji and Loogamon were determined to surpass their rivals.

“Don’t be annoying Pulsemon!” Leon regains his composure. He looks down at his drink as the soft jazz attempts to cover up the awkward silence. “Sorry, it’s just…” Leon begins. “This is a serious deal Eiji. This isn’t a game. Loogamon isn’t just some Code Cracker tool. This is a huge responsibility, and you need to be sure this is something you really want.””Eiji looks over at Loogamon. The two Digimon continue to bicker quietly. The sight puts a smile on his face. “I am taking this seriously. I took this job because I want to help Digimon. He may be a little grumpy, but Loogamon is my friend. I made him a promise, and I am going to work hard to make sure we become strong enough to protect the Digital World.”Eiji looks over at Loogamon. The two Digimon continue to bicker quietly. The sight puts a smile on his face. “I am taking this seriously. I took this job because I want to help Digimon. He may be a little grumpy, but Loogamon is my friend. I made him a promise, and I am going to work hard to make sure we become strong enough to protect the Digital World.”

Leon sits in silence for a moment as he takes in Eiji’s response. “Alright then” he extends his fist out in the familiar way they used to when they were kids, “It’s a promise!”

Terra Memoria: The cozy turn-based RPG coming to consoles and PC

August 23, 2023 josechurape Leave a comment

Terra Memoria is a cozy turn-based RPG coming to Steam, Xbox, PS5, and Switch. This cute RPG mixes a beautifully drawn 3D world with cute 2D pixel art characters and I am here for it. It definitely gives me some Octopath Traveller vibes, but Terra Memoria seems a bit more whimsical. Terra Memoria puts its emphasis on exploration and adventure as a group of friends travel across Terra in search of a solution for the crystal shortage. What makes this game unique is its building mechanic. Players can use this mechanic to create objects, solve puzzles, and create their own village. If is anything like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, I’m never getting anything done.

If you are looking for a new RPG that might be a bit more on the casual side, you should give this a look. No release date has been set yet, but you can at least wishlist it on Steam.

I’m working on getting a review code for this, so stay tuned for the full review when it’s out. Until then, It might be time to finally start up Octopath Traveller II.

Digimon Seekers: Chapter 2-6: Revenge and Reunion

August 2, 2023 josechurape Leave a comment

I am sorry for the late post, work has been crazy. Thank you all who have been keeping up with this project, it means a lot to have people read it every week. If you’ve been enjoying this project, please consider subscribing, liking, commenting, and sharing this with your friends. It really helps me out. And as always, don’t forget to support the official release!

Back on the Sons of Chaos channel, the avatar of a cartoonish businessman stands at the door of Marvin’s private chatroom. The avatar is unkempt and dirty. He leans drunkenly against a nearby wall and watches Marvin scrolling through the Grimm news feed.

The attack on Nation X was trending throughout GriMM.

Word had it that the hacker Judge singlehandedly stopped a large-scale attack on Nation X orchestrated by the Sons of Chaos. He was not only able to destroy Nation X’s powerful Digimon, but he also outsmarted Tartarus and the Sons of Chaos.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?” Marvin asks, taking notice of the interviewer for the first time. “Come to wish me well?” His tone is playfully mocking.

“Glad to see you up so quickly. And I asume…No side effects,” a different voice says sincerely. A small fox with dragon wings and a large ruby embedded on its forehead appears near the interviewer. Its tail flicks at the air.

Marvin smiles. “I wouldn’t have made it back withouty you.” He reaches to Dorumon and ruffles its fur playfully.

“What about Megadramon… Er Aidramon?”

“Luckily,” Marvin stops petting Dorumon and stands to finish his explanation, “there was no heavy damage to the Digicore. It’s currently undergoing repairs and will probably be out of commission for a while.”

“That was close Marvin. We could have lost you out there.” There was concern in the Digimon’s tone.

Marvin grimaced at the thought. “That kid you scouted saved me.” Marvin runs his fingers through his dreadlocks. “I can’t believe I let a hacker surprise me like that. I’m getting old man.” He lets out a nervous chuckle. “Maybe I should plan for an early retirement.”

Dorumon ignores the joke. “We have to do something about Judge. We’re exploring options for retaliation”

Marvin shakes his head and crosses his arms. “You mess with Leon and we’ll have the Americans all over us. We have to think this through.”

“He attacked first!” Dorumon shoots back, its voice almost a growl. “This is an insult to us and what we stand for. We can’t let this slide.” The fur down its back stands angrily. Its tail flails behind it.

“He’s right,” the interviewer speaks up for the first time. His voice is stern and gruff. “We can’t let this go.” The interviewer drops his disguise. Tartarus stands before Marlin with a bored look on his face. He is neatly dressed and well-kempt. He has a scar over his right eye and stands taller than Marvin.

“So what then? We go to war? The big war you…both have been planning?” Marvin doesn’t hide his frustration.

Tartarus looks at his friend pensively for a moment before moving to a nearby couch to sit. He spreads himself out comfortably and turns his attention up to Marvin. “I’ll admit, losing the Machinedramon was a….setback, but the pieces have fallen into place. This can still work.”

“Loogarmon, you mean. And Eiji. Those pieces?”

“What do you think of them by the way? Good huh?” Tartarus smirks as he leans forward, eager for Marvin’s answer.

Marvin sighs. “The kid surprised me,” Marvin says, taking the seat opposite of Tartarus. “At first I thought he was just another cocky code cracker, all-flash, and no substance. But he did good. He doesn’t get a big head and listens to directions. He’s got good instincts too.” Marvin starts to relax in his chair. “and he didn’t leave me behind. I like him.”

Dorumon gives lets out a smug smirk.

“His partner is still just at champion level though.” Marvin sounds concerned.

“He’s young, he’s got room to grow.” Tartarus leans back in his seat and folds his hands behind his head. “I’ve got something to help him grow a little faster.”

“You don’t mean…”

“We don’t know the full extent of Eiji’s power yet,” Tartarus begins as he brings up Eiji and Leon’s profiles on a virtual monitor. “We can’t rely on him until we know the extent of that power. We have to push him. We have to know that he is down for the cause and that he will stick with us to the bitter end.” Tartarus pauses for a moment to examine Marvin’s reaction. “Are you still with us?” He asks grimly.

“Of course I am.”

“Nice work Leon,” Pulsemon says, greeting his partner as he wakes from the testing pod. Leon sits up, taking off the helmet used to measure his vitals. His blond hair is matted from the sweat.

Pulsemon begins running around the lab impatiently.

“You too Pulsemon,” Leon says softly as he stands up from the pod and walks over to a nearby monitor. “We set a new record,” Leon remarks with excitement as he reads over the results of their endurance test.

Pulsemon nods eagerly. “We’re unstoppable! It’s all because they put you in that diaper.” It snickers at its own joke.

“Shut up!” Leon can’t help to laugh along with his oldest friend.

“Phenomenal,” a voice says over the intercom.

Professor Ryusenji stands on the other side of the observation window with a large smile.

“I didn’t realize you were here!” Leon bows his head slightly in an attempt to hide the sudden flash of redness on his face.

“Ryu-booo!” Pulsmon chirps, waving eagerly. “Did you see?! Did you see?!”

“Pulsemon my friend! You did such an amazing job!” the professor responds, matching Pulsemon’s energy. “And you too Leon.”

“Thank you, professor.” Pulsemon continues to fidget through the room.

“To think, the lone hacker judge taking out a whole nation, the Sons of Chaos, and a Machinedramon? America must be so proud.”

“It was now or never,” Leon says solemnly. “They had to pay for what they did. For killing all those people…” Leon pauses for a moment. “I had to do it, for myself. It was the only way I could move forward as a hacker.”

The professor nods and gives a proud smile. “I would have never guessed you would grow up to be so strong.”

Leon moved to Japan in elementary school. His dad worked as an assistant professor at the Tokyo University of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He would often take Leon along to work with him.

“You look like someone who is good at taking care of things,” the professor said to Leon one day. He crouches down to bring himself closer to Leon. He hands him a small screen with the pixel art Digitama on it. “I bet you’d be great at raising it with love and care. I’m giving this to you, can I trust you?”

Leon nods his head as he looks down at the small device and studied the strange video it plays. The small egg occasionally shakes.

“This isn’t a game,” the professor continues his explanation. “This is a Digimon, it’s alive and it exists in the Digital world.” The professor goes on to explain the existence of Digimon and the importance of this task.

Leon promises to take care of his Digimon. From that day on, Leon and Pulsemon became inseparable. Together they grew stronger, setting and surpassing limits until they were as part of the DDL as the professor was.

Leon walks out through the security gate and into the lobby. TV displays throughout the room report on the recent attack on Nation X. He sees Eiji sitting across the room, his head buried in his phone as he scrolls slowly through the day’s feed.

“Eiji!” Leon shouts, waving to get his attention. His voice echoes through the lobby. Eiji lifts his head and finds Leon walking towards him.
He waves back as the memories from elementary start rushing back.

Digimon Seekers: Chapter 2-4: The Machinedramon in the Dungeon

July 18, 2023 josechurape Leave a comment

Make sure you always read the original release. If you’ve been enjoying this project, like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends!

Loogamon tears through the Digital World at the speed of light. The data surrounding him blurs, forming a tunnel of bright light. Marvin and his partner Airdramon race ahead of him. The eight members participating in the raid were split into teams of two. Each team would attack Nation X’s server from a different angle.

“What do you think Tartartus will do with the Machinedramon?” Eiji asks.

“What do you mean?” Marvin replies. There was a hint of suspicion in his tone.

“The orders were to capture the Machinedramon, not destroy it. I just thought…”

“You seem a little too invested in our leader. What’s your deal anyways?”

Eiji tries to find the right words to extinguish any suspicion.

“Well?” Marvin asks. Airdramon begins to slow his pace.

“I’m just a little nervous. I ask a lot of questions when I’m nervous. This is the biggest job I’ve ever pulled, and I don’t want to mess it up.” Eiji tries to sound shaken to sell his point.

Marvin lets out an empathetic sigh. “No one knows why Tartarus does what he does, but I’m sure he’s got a good reason for going after this Machinedramon.”

“He must be after something.” Eiji continues to prie.

“Tartarus is taking on the Digital world and looking for…something.”

“Anything in particular?”

“Who knows? It’s not money or fame, I can tell you that much.”

“Spinning Needle!”

Airdramon flaps its wings, sending a sharp wave of force through a horde of Nation X’s defense. The attack cuts through the mass of guards without meeting much resistance.

Loogamon takes a deep breath. Flames begin to lick from the corners of his mouth. “Howling Fire!”

Fire pours from Loogamons mouth towards the mob of advancing guards. The flame repels their advance.

“Nice one!” Marvin shoots a compliment. “Stay in Rookie form. We need you to budget your mindlink in case we need to get out in a hurry. Use the timer I made for.” Marvin says as Airdramon takes out another group of guards.

Eiji turns his attention to the timer. It continues to tick down slowly. “I’ll be good. Don’t worry” Loogamon runs after Airdramon, taking down any security Digimon it comes across without much resistance.

Nation X’s servers were designed like an old-school dungeon crawler. It was a series of filthy stone tunnels that formed a seemingly endless maze, but Airdramon and Loogamon move confidently through its corridors. Loogamon stops on occasion to sniff for clues, Airdramon quickly snakes after him until they exit a tunnel and find themselves in a small corridor with a large ceiling.

“That’s huge!” Eiji reacts as they come to the base of a large door. It was about five stories tall and made of old sturdy iron.

“Decoding it is going to be a pain,” Marvin says as he begins running calculations.

“Nah” Loogamon says as he approaches the door.

“What are you doing?” Eiji asks frantically.

“Set your tool to decode,” Loogamon commands without slowing his stride.

“…Okay?”

The jewel on Loogamon’s head begins to glow.

“Are you serious?” Marvin yelps as he watches the decryption progress fill instantly. The massive door unlocks. The sounds of rotating gears fill the corridor as doors slide open.

“I guess I’m good at opening doors,” Loogamon says smugly.

“We should rob some bank next,” Marvin jokes.

The massive doors open, revealing a deep darkness. A low mechanical roar rises from somewhere in the shadows.

Loogamon and Aidramon make their way toward the roars. They find themselves running toward a massive metallic dinosaur. Its body is made for a mismatched collection of cyborg Digimon parts with massive cannons strapped to its shoulders.

“This is too much!” Eiji shouts as they continue their approach. He is clearly shaken by the scale of the Mega.

“Calm down Eiji,” Loogamon responds, “you’re making us look bad. It’s all tied up.” Eiji notices the restraints holding the Digimon in place. It lets out another series of emotionless roars.

Loogamon looks toward Machinedramon with an unusual amount of sympathy. “What a sorry sight. It can’t hunt or live its life. I wouldn’t wish this fate on my worst enemy.”

“Eradication attack!” Marvin shouts, not wasting a second.

Megadramon lifts its arms towards the Machinedramon. The large metal claws open, letting out a barrage of missiles. The missiles break through the Machinedramon’s restraints. The room fills with smoke from the explosions.

“Careful! Don’t kill it!” Eiji yells. The Machindramon doesn’t move. It couldn’t without human direction.

“Relax, I’m only targeting the restraints,” Marvins says dismissively. “We gotta bust it out of its chains so we can use our capture tool on it.” Megadromon moves into position as Marvin finishes his explanation.

“Ultimate Slicer”

Megadramon crosses its arms releasing a slashing energy of the same shape. It flies through the air cutting away the last bit of data holding the Digimon in place.

Eiji and Loogamon suddenly find themselves surrounded by the hissing and popping of firework-like sparks.

“What the heck?” Eiji yells as he tries to make sense of the flashes. Loogamon’s vision becomes obscured by the sudden spectacle. Loogamon sniffs at the air trying to make up for his lost senses while Eiji looks through his monitors desperately. The words “Mega, Diety, Vaccine” appear on one of the screens. “Are you seeing this?” Eiji says as he tries to find the Digimon belonging to the description.

A bolt of lightning dances along the walls, finally leaping through the air of the hanger.

“Megadramon!”

The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation – The creepy looking survival game that is looking to be a solid scary story

July 11, 2023 josechurape Leave a comment

If you have been enjoying my content and want to support what I do make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends. You can also buy me a coffee

The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation is a horror game coming to PS5, Xbox, and Switch. No release date has been announced yet, but preorders for the physical copies of this game go on sale on the 15th for PS5 and Switch only. There are also collector editions of the game for those interested in the swag.

Six university friends investigate a well-known urban legend, but what they find is a lot more than they bargained for. The group has awoken an ancient curse. Now they must survive the night as vengeful ghosts hunt for them. Do you have what it takes to solve the mystery and survive the night?

Play as one of the students and try to survive one of the longest nights as you stealthy explore a creepy and immersive setting, solve puzzles, and experience what looks to be a well-presented narrative. The art and graphics look great, the setting looks scary, and the voice acting is fantastic. Of course, this opinion is based on the trailer, but the trailer did enough to creep me out.

I don’t really play horror or stealth games, but this is going on my watch list. Hopefully, I can muster enough courage to play through this game, even if it has to be with the lights on. If you don’t want to wait for the console release, you can pick it up on Steam for $19.99. It is currently on sale for $13.99 until the 13th. There is also a demo you can try if you need more convincing.

Folks looking for a physical copy of this game, you can preorder your copy for the PS5 and Switch on the 13th.

You can also get the collectors edition for the PS5 and the Switch if you are interested in the artbook and a few extra goodies:
