G-MODE and Plus81 announced visual novel Shinjuku Soumei has been delayed to May 24 for PC. This is the game’s second delay from its original February 2024 release window.
G-MODE revealed Shinjuku Soumei this past August after a tease about a new joint project. Just three months later in November, a February 2024 release window was decided without a specific date. G-MODE seemingly determined that more quality improvements were necessary in February, pushing the release for the first time to April 2024.
Shinjuku Soumei Delayed, Gets New Demo
The Shinjuku Soumei visual novel is delayed to May 24 for 3,990 yen (roughly $26.50), and the game will support English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language options on PC via Steam and DLSite. AiRyA performs the game’s opening theme song “PROMISED COURAGE.”
A free Shinjuku Soumei demo will be released in late April. However, the demo will not support save data transfers to the full game.
