Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition Lands on Switch 2

Leave a comment

Team NINJA’s dark Three Kingdoms action RPG is finally available on Nintendo’s hybrid console — Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition launched today, 3 September 2026, bringing the full game plus every piece of DLC to Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time.

Everything in the Switch 2 Complete Edition

The package bundles the base game with all three major story DLC scenarios: Battle of Zhongyuan, Conqueror of Jiangdong, and Upheaval in Jingxiang, along with the Thousand-Mile Journey endgame challenge content. Post-launch weapons — cestuses, long swords, and whips — are in, as is all collaborative DLC gear from Nioh 2, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, and Lies of P. The franchise has crossed five million players across all platforms, so you’re getting a well-supported, content-complete experience.

Switch 2 owners get one exclusive perk: the Xuanwu Armor set as a commemorative bonus, claimable from now until 30 September 2026. If you plan to buy physical, be aware the box contains a Game-Key Card rather than a traditional cartridge — the download comes in at 39.1 GB, so an SD Express card is worth having ready before launch day.

Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember Is Already on the Way

If you’re jumping into the series for the first time, there’s extra incentive to catch up quickly: KOEI TECMO and Team NINJA have already announced Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember for early 2027, launching on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It will be available from day one on Xbox Game Pass. The sequel expands on the original’s Morale combat system, adding defensive martial arts and a reworked deflect mechanic.

Pricing and What Singapore Switch 2 Owners Should Know

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty originally launched in early 2023 on PC and PlayStation — Switch 2 players are getting the definitive, fully patched version of a game that’s had over two years of post-launch support. The US Nintendo eShop price is USD $59.99; SGD pricing on the Singapore eShop has not been confirmed at time of writing. Based on typical Switch 2 conversion rates for that tier, expect a figure in the S$79–S$89 range, but check the local eShop before purchasing.

The soulslike genre is well-represented on Switch 2 this autumn, and Wo Long’s Morale system — which rewards aggression rather than punishing it — makes the combat feel distinctly different from FromSoftware’s catalogue. For Singapore players who missed it on PS5 or PC, the Complete Edition is a good starting point before Wings of Ember arrives. See our Game News section for more Switch 2 titles landing this September.

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered Launches 1 October — Classic Hack-and-Slash Returns

Leave a comment

The hack-and-slash that millions of Singaporeans remember clearing on PS2 is about to land on every current platform — remastered, expanded and ready for a new generation. Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered launches globally on 1 October 2026 on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, marking 25 years since the original changed what a Warriors game could be.

Two games in one package

The Complete Edition bundles both the original Dynasty Warriors 3 and its Xtreme Legends expansion into a single purchase. That means the full base roster plus the extra officers, unique stages, and hard-mode scenarios from Xtreme Legends — more than 40 officers in total — all in one box (or digital download). The remaster updates the visuals and controls while keeping the large-scale battlefield chaos that made the series so compulsively replayable.

New mechanics join the classic formula

Four new systems update the combat without overhauling it. Evasion adds a proper dodge roll — a series first — and a well-timed dodge triggers a Just Evasion counterattack window. Perfect Power Guard replaces the old block timing with a rewarding parry. The new Weapon Fusion system lets you combine gear to transfer skills and elemental effects between weapons, giving the loot loop a light RPG layer that players of Dynasty Warriors: Origins will find familiar.

Speaking of Origins: its protagonist Ziluan joins the cast as a guest officer. Ziluan brings a moveset tuned around their unique Twin Pike style, and their presence adds a set of new challenging scenarios designed around that playstyle — a reason to revisit even if you have all the classic officers memorised.

Split-screen co-op is back

Offline two-player split-screen returns across Musou, Free and VS modes. For Singapore players who spent school holidays clearing stages side by side on a small TV, that alone is worth the price of entry. True Musou Attacks also make a return, letting you unleash the full-screen super when you need a bail-out against an officer who won’t quit.

Pre-order bonus and TGS demo

Pre-ordering before 30 September 2026 nets you the Retro-Style Red Hare Saddle — a cosmetic item for Red Hare, the legendary mount veterans will remember sprinting across battle maps. The bonus is available on all platforms through the respective storefronts.

If you are travelling to Japan next month, Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is one of five Koei Tecmo titles confirmed playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026 (17–21 September, Makuhari Messe), alongside Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember and Atelier Karia. The TGS public days run 19–21 September.

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is available to pre-order now from the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop and Steam, as well as major game retailers and electronics chains. Keep an eye on our Game News section for more on Koei Tecmo’s TGS lineup and any Singapore-specific pricing confirmations.

Attack on Titan 3 Sets 10 December Release — Pre-Orders Open

Leave a comment

After more than a decade of anime, manga, and two earlier action games, Omega Force is wrapping up the series in style. Attack on Titan 3 — the concluding chapter of Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s action-game trilogy — launches worldwide on 10 December 2026, hitting PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on the same day. Pre-orders are live now across all platforms.

The Full Attack on Titan Saga — Survey Corps to the Bitter End

Rather than picking up mid-story, Attack on Titan 3 covers the franchise’s complete narrative arc, from the Survey Corps’ earliest expeditions beyond the walls all the way through to the series’ dramatic conclusion. According to the official Steam listing, players take on the roles of Scout Regiment members and experience the full story through the lens of on-the-ground titan-fighting action.

Singapore fans who followed the Final Season on Disney+ will recognise the battles — and now get to live them firsthand, ODM gear in hand. The game supports Japanese voices with English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish text options.

Upgraded ODM Combat, Squad System, and Exterior Scouting

The omni-directional mobility gear returns with enhanced aerial mechanics — the kind of swooping, high-speed titan-slaying that made the earlier games click for fans of the anime. New to this entry is a proper squad assembly system: each Scout Regiment member brings distinct skills and signature abilities, letting you mix and match fan favourites and chain their moves during missions.

The biggest new system is Exterior Scouting: full expeditions into titan-held territory where you construct supply bases, manage ODM fuel and blade resources, and push the Survey Corps’ frontier outward. It adds a light base-management loop between the action sequences. A new Casual Mode also lowers the barrier to entry for players new to either the game series or the franchise itself.

MAPPA’s Opening Animation Is Coming — Just Not at Launch

Omega Force has confirmed that Attack on Titan 3 will feature an animated opening produced by MAPPA — the studio behind Attack on Titan: The Final Season — with direction by Arifumi Imai, who led animation on the Final Season. The catch: this opening will not be in the game at launch and will instead be added as a free post-launch update. Koei Tecmo has not confirmed a timeline for the update.

It’s an unusual move, but given the production pedigree it will be worth the wait. Think of it as a bonus for day-one buyers to look forward to.

Editions, Pre-Orders, and Bonuses

Three editions are available, with pre-orders live now on PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox, and Steam:

  • Standard Edition — Digital and physical (PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series, PC)
  • Steelbook Launch Edition — Physical only, includes premium ICONART steelbook packaging
  • Digital Deluxe Edition — Adds a digital artbook, character customisation pack, equipment pack, starter items, and 72-hour early access (effectively 7 December)

All pre-orders include the “Wings of Freedom Earrings” in-game customisation item. Players with save data from previous Attack on Titan games on the same platform will receive additional bonuses — Koei Tecmo has not yet detailed what those will be.

SGD pricing has not been officially confirmed. Check local game retailers and the Singapore PlayStation Store for regional pricing closer to launch.

TGS 2026 Demo: First Hands-On in September

Before the December launch, Attack on Titan 3 will be playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026 (17–21 September) at Makuhari Messe, Chiba. Koei Tecmo has confirmed a dedicated booth and stage event. If you’re travelling to TGS, it’s one of the headlining action-game demos of the show.

Attack on Titan 3 launches worldwide on 10 December 2026. Browse more game news for the latest on Switch 2, PS5, and upcoming releases hitting Singapore.

Dead or Alive 6 — Minato DLC Arrives 10 September

Leave a comment

Team Ninja has confirmed a release date for Minato, the gyaru-style fighter teased in Dead or Alive 6: Last Round’s June launch trailer — she’s joining the roster as paid DLC on 10 September 2026. And if you haven’t tried the free-to-play fighter yet, there’s an extra reason to do it right now: Ayane and Tamaki are unlocked for free in the Core Fighters version, but only until 19 August.

Minato’s Release Date and What We Know So Far

Minato was first revealed in concept art form when DOA6 Last Round launched in June, with design sketches showing off her gyaru-inspired costumes. The date of 10 September 2026 for her DLC release was confirmed by Team Ninja via the official @deadoralivejp account, as reported by Automaton Media.

Her in-game moveset and full gameplay reveal haven’t been shown yet. Team Ninja says those details will be announced before her release, so expect a proper character trailer to drop in the coming weeks.

Minato will be available as paid DLC on PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pricing for individual character DLC has not been announced at this time.

Ayane and Tamaki Free Until 19 August — Try Them Now

Alongside the Minato news, Team Ninja has launched a limited-time campaign giving DOA6 Last Round Core Fighters players free access to Ayane and Tamaki until 19 August. That’s this coming Tuesday — so if you want to give them a spin at no cost, time is tight.

Core Fighters is the free-to-play tier of Dead or Alive 6: Last Round, giving players access to a rotating roster without any upfront purchase. The full fighter roster is unlockable through individual character packs or a season pass.

New Marie Rose Costume DLC Also Live

Also dropping alongside the Minato announcement: Marie Rose’s “Wicked Lil’ Sunflower” costume set is now available as paid DLC in four colour variations. It’s a standalone add-on, separate from the Minato DLC, purchasable directly in-game.

Nioh 3: Hell Rising DLC Drops 19 August — Keian-Era Edo, Yagyu Jubei and New Weapons

Leave a comment

Six months after its launch, Team NINJA’s Nioh 3 is about to get significantly harder — and a lot more interesting. The first DLC expansion, Hell Rising, drops on 19 August 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, opening an entirely new chapter set in a ruined version of Edo.

Nioh 3 – Hell Rising DLC Vol. 1 First Look Trailer — via KOEI TECMO AMERICA on YouTube

Journey into Keian-Era Edo

The DLC picks up with the protagonist Takechiyo flung forward in time to Edo, 1651 — the opening years of the Keian era — only to find the city locked in fresh chaos after the death of the future shogun. What should have been a settled Japan is instead a hellish wasteland, the Crucible’s gales tearing through it once more.

Two characters form the core of this new story: Yagyu Jubei, the legendary one-eyed swordsman, and Rodrigo, a Spanish envoy with his own stake in untangling the Spirit Stone mysteries driving the crisis. The mix of historical Japanese figure and foreign arrival fits Nioh 3’s broader theme of feudal Japan meeting the wider world — and gives the DLC a distinct flavour from the base game’s arcs.

New Weapon Class: Hoko and Shield

Hell Rising introduces a brand-new weapon archetype: the Hoko and Shield, available in both Samurai and Ninja builds. The design blends the short spear’s reach and stabbing power with a shield’s blocking capability — a combination that opens up a more defensive, guard-counter-focused playstyle that Nioh 3’s existing arsenal doesn’t quite replicate.

Beyond the weapon itself, the DLC brings new Martial Arts, Ninjutsu abilities, Guardian Spirits, and Soul Cores — giving veterans a fresh batch of build options to experiment with on top of what’s carried over from the base game.

Enlightened One’s Journey: The New Hardest Mode

If Shogun’s Journey was already stretching your limits, Team NINJA is going further. Enlightened One’s Journey lands above it as Nioh 3’s new ceiling difficulty — enemies carry active Curse buffs that make engagements far more punishing than the base-game top tier. It is the kind of mode that exists specifically for players who have already burned through everything the game had to offer and still want more resistance.

There is also a new piece of equipment, the Hundred Demon Realms Picture Scroll, which auto-generates challenge battles — offering a customisable way to keep farming and testing builds outside the main mission flow.

Season Pass and What’s Next

Hell Rising is available as part of the Nioh 3 Season Pass at US$39.99, which covers this expansion and the forthcoming second DLC, Bloody Insurrection. If you own the Digital Deluxe Edition you are already covered.

For Singapore players, both PS5 and Steam versions are accessible locally. The PS5 version is available at PlayStation Store SGD pricing; the Steam version is region-free. If you have been sitting on the fence about getting into Nioh 3, the Koei Tecmo sale that ran through early August — up to 36% off on Steam — may be worth revisiting ahead of Tuesday’s DLC drop.

Hell Rising launches 19 August 2026. Check the official Nioh 3 site for full details, or browse more game news on GameTrader.

December 10 Confirmed — Edition Breakdown

As we covered this morning when the stream was first announced, Koei Tecmo promised a release date reveal tonight and delivered. Here’s the full edition breakdown:

  • Standard Edition: US$69.99 / £54.99 / €69.99 / ¥9,680
  • Digital Deluxe Edition: US$89.99 / £69.99 / €89.99 / ¥12,980 — adds 72-hour early access (PS5, Xbox and PC only; Switch 2 excluded), a Digital Artbook, Character Customisation Pack (3 costumes, 7 parts), Original Equipment Pack (13 parts), and a Starter Item Pack
  • SteelBook Launch Edition (physical only): the base game in a SteelBook case with ICONART, plus Wings of Freedom Choker and Wings of Freedom Gloves DLC

All physical and digital buyers receive the Wings of Freedom Hoodie DLC costume at launch. Digital pre-orders additionally unlock the Wings of Freedom Earrings. Save data from either of the previous Attack on Titan games triggers special in-game gifts.

The Full Story, Start to Finish

Attack on Titan 3 is the first game in the series to cover the entire manga and anime from beginning to end. You play as a custom Scout Regiment recruit alongside Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the broader cast, building relationships that unlock character-specific abilities and cutscenes. Koei Tecmo confirmed that MAPPA — the studio behind the anime’s later seasons — is producing an exclusive opening animation directed by Arifumi Imai, to be added via a post-launch update.

Nine Titans, Exterior Scouting Missions and Casual Mode

All Nine Titans — the Colossal, Armoured, Female, Jaw, Cart, Beast, War Hammer, Attack and Founding — appear in-game for the first time in the series. The 3D Maneuver Gear system has been rebuilt to feel faster and more intense, recreating the anime’s large-scale battles.

Brand new are Exterior Scouting Missions, which push the squad beyond the walls: explore open terrain, construct supply bases, manage ODM fuel and blade durability, and take on high-difficulty titan threats. A Casual Mode is also included for players who want to experience the complete story without the mechanical challenge.

Platforms, Pre-Orders and Singapore Pricing

Attack on Titan 3 launches December 10 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam. Pre-orders on PSN, the Xbox Store and Steam are open now; Switch 2 pre-orders will open at a later date. No SGD pricing has been announced yet — the US$69.99 standard edition converts to roughly S$95 at current rates, though the Singapore PlayStation Store will likely carry its own regional price. We will update this article once local pricing is confirmed.

Koei Tecmo is finally naming the day. The publisher has confirmed a dedicated livestream that will reveal the official release date for Attack on Titan 3 — and it is happening tonight. Singapore fans have until 10:50 PM SGT (Monday, 3 August) to mark their calendars.

When and Where to Watch the Attack on Titan 3 Release Date Stream

The stream goes live on 3 August 2026 at 10:50 AM EDT / 3:50 PM GMT / 10:50 PM SGT. Head to Koei Tecmo America’s official YouTube channel to catch it live — the broadcast is estimated to run around 10 minutes and will cover:

  • The official release date reveal
  • Details on the Deluxe Edition
  • Various bonus and pre-order information
  • Additional gameplay footage highlighting the game’s special features

As we covered when Koei Tecmo locked in a winter 2026 release window, the game targets PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam — all platforms available in Singapore.

Attack on Titan 3 — Gameplay Reveal Trailer via KOEI TECMO AMERICA on YouTube

Everything Confirmed About Attack on Titan 3

Omega Force’s third entry in the series is the most ambitious yet. For the first time, the game covers the complete story of Attack on Titan from beginning to end — from the fall of Shiganshina all the way through the Rumbling and its aftermath. The Nine Titans appear for the first time in a mainline AoT action game.

The signature omni-directional mobility (ODM) gear combat has been refined to deliver the most acrobatic encounters in the series. Titans come with new attack patterns and behaviours, and a new Casual Mode means players who are primarily here for the story can experience the full game without getting blocked by difficult bosses.

Build Your Squad and Shape the Story

You step in as a fully customisable Scout Regiment protagonist rising through the 104th Cadet Corps. Forging bonds with series characters like Eren, Mikasa and Armin unlocks unique battle abilities and special cutscenes, weaving your custom soldier into the anime’s biggest moments.

Beyond direct combat, Exterior Scouting Missions let you explore the world between battles, establish supply bases, and manage territorial resources — a strategic layer earlier entries in the series did not have.

MAPPA Is Handling the Opening Animation

Koei Tecmo has confirmed that MAPPA — the studio behind Attack on Titan: The Final Season — will produce the game’s opening animation, with Final Season action animator Arifumi Imai directing. One detail to be aware of: this animation is being added post-launch via a free update, so the day-one build will not include it.

Singapore: What to Expect After Tonight

All four target platforms are sold here — PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Steam (PC) — so local availability should not be an issue. A Singapore or regional price has not been confirmed; the stream tonight may include pre-order details. Watch our Game News section for a follow-up as soon as the date drops, and tune in tonight at 10:50 PM SGT if you want to be first to know.

Blue Reflection Quartet Is Out Now — Four Games, Two Console Debuts, One Bundle

Leave a comment

The wait is over for fans of Gust’s magical-girl JRPG series. BLUE REFLECTION Quartet is now available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam — bringing all four entries in the franchise together in a single package, with two of them making their console debut for the very first time. When pre-orders opened back in June, we knew this was a landmark release for the series; now it’s live and ready to play.

What’s Inside Blue Reflection Quartet

The collection bundles four titles under one purchase:

  • BLUE REFLECTION (2017 original console game, with HD upgrades)
  • BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light (2021 console RPG)
  • BLUE REFLECTION RAY — the 2021 anime series, rebuilt as a playable console experience with new 3D character models
  • BLUE REFLECTION SUN — the smartphone and PC game, now on console for the first time with an overhauled battle system

All four entries are connected by theme, characters, and lore, but this marks the first time players can move through the entire story arc in one place. A new in-game Reference Database organises each title’s events on a shared chronological flowchart, with character relationship charts and series correlation maps — a genuine help for newcomers trying to follow how everything connects.

RAY and SUN Get Rebuilt for Their Console Debut

The two newcomers to console are where most of the new content lives. Blue Reflection RAY has been rebuilt with new 3D character models for the main cast, and the experience now includes an unlockable short story accessed via Memory Shards, plus a new prologue and epilogue that weren’t part of the original anime broadcast. It’s effectively a director’s cut in playable form.

Blue Reflection SUN gets an even more substantial overhaul. The console port replaces the original mobile combat with the fully-featured battle system from Second Light — a notable upgrade — and adds a brand-new Chapter 24 event, unique character conversations, and its own prologue and epilogue. Neither version has ever been available outside Japan before, making this the first legitimate way for global players to experience both stories.

Eight New Party Members Come to Second Light

Buying the Quartet bundle unlocks a meaningful bonus in Second Light: eight characters from RAY and SUN join as fully playable party members, expanding the roster beyond the original game’s cast. On top of that, the original Blue Reflection and Second Light receive quality-of-life improvements across the board — faster movement during exploration, increased battle speed, event skip and fast-forward options, and autosave. Character designer Mel Kishida’s full gallery of official artwork is also accessible through the Reference Database.

Platform Notes and Pricing for Singapore Players

Blue Reflection Quartet is available in Singapore digitally through the PlayStation Store (PS5) and the Nintendo eShop (Switch and Switch 2), as well as on Steam. All versions are digital-only in Western markets, including Singapore — Japan gets physical PS5 and Switch releases, but there is no physical version available here.

One important caveat for Switch 2 players: there is no upgrade path from the Switch version, and save data does not transfer. If you already own the original Second Light on Switch, you will need to repurchase the Quartet bundle separately on Switch 2.

The game is priced at USD 49.99 on Steam; check your regional PlayStation Store or Nintendo eShop listing for local pricing. The game is English-text only with Japanese voice acting. A free limited-time photo frame bonus is available until 12 August 2026 for all purchasers.

For JRPG fans on any of those platforms, this is a rare chance to experience the full Blue Reflection story in one go. Check out our game reviews for more on what’s worth picking up this month.

Attack on Titan 3 Locks Winter 2026 on PS5, Switch 2 and PC

Leave a comment

Seven years after the last A.O.T. game, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have confirmed Attack on Titan 3 for a Winter 2026 release on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This is not a remaster or a spin-off — it is a full new entry that covers the complete Attack on Titan story, from the fall of Wall Maria to the series’ end, with rebuilt ODM combat, all Nine Titans as distinct boss fights, and an open-world survival mode beyond the walls. A post-launch opening cinematic by MAPPA is also on the way.

Seven Years Later: The Titan Showdown Continues

The original A.O.T. games from Omega Force launched in 2016 and 2018, covering the manga’s earlier arcs. Attack on Titan 3 picks up the entire story from beginning to end in one package — meaning the Rumbling, the Marleyan arc, and the series’ divisive-but-memorable finale are all here. For fans who have been with the franchise since Hajime Isayama’s manga first ran in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine, this is the first game that can claim to tell the full story.

Singapore players can look forward to the game across every major platform available locally. The Steam store page is already live, and the Winter 2026 window places the launch somewhere between late November 2026 and early February 2027. No firm date or SGD pricing has been announced yet.

ODM Gear — Rebuilt, Not Refreshed

The omni-directional mobility gear system that defines the series has been substantially reworked for A.O.T. 3. Momentum feels more physical, wire physics carry weight, and blade management is a genuine resource constraint on harder difficulties. A new Casual Mode opens the action to players who found the originals demanding, without stripping the feel of flying between rooftops with dual swords drawn.

All Nine Titans Are Boss Fights

For the first time in the game series, every one of the Nine Titans appears as a full boss encounter with unique attacks and behaviour. The Founding Titan, the Colossal Titan, the Armored Titan, the Beast Titan — each demands a different approach, and the new Titan AI ensures that repeat encounters do not become routine. Omega Force has described these fights as the centrepiece of the late-game progression.

Exterior Scouting Missions: Open World Beyond the Walls

A brand-new mode called Exterior Scouting Missions sends players outside humanity’s walled cities entirely. These are open-world sorties across the landscape beyond Wall Maria where you construct supply bases, manage your ODM fuel and blade stocks, and push humanity’s territory further into Titan country. Squad morale fluctuates in real time, and injuries can carry permanent consequences — a meaningful stakes shift from the more arcade-adjacent pace of earlier Omega Force games.

Play as a Custom Scout — Alongside the Full Cast

Rather than locking players into Eren or Levi, A.O.T. 3 gives you a fully customisable Scout Regiment soldier with an engineer background. This original character is embedded directly into the main story, interacting with Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi, Hange, and the broader cast. Building relationships unlocks new battle abilities and story cutscenes — a light RPG layer that gives repeat playthroughs additional incentive.

MAPPA’s Opening Animation — Coming After Launch

The one confirmed caveat: the game’s opening cinematic, produced by MAPPA and directed by Arifumi Imai (who helmed Attack on Titan: The Final Season), will not be included at launch. It arrives as a free post-launch update. Bringing the same creative team behind the Final Season’s most striking visual moments to an opening cinematic is a statement of ambition — and a free update means there is no additional cost once it lands.

Language support covers Japanese audio with English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean text options — a broad enough localisation set that the Asian release should arrive alongside the western launch.
