Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory highlights this week’s Japanese game releases. The latest entry in the cyberpunk RPG Digimon series tells a story that occurs parallel to the events of the original Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition is also due out this week. The re-release of the first-person horror game, which was originally released in February, features the full game and all post-release downloadable content.
The latest entry in Level-5‘s popular Yo-kai Watch series, Yo-kai Watch Busters 2, is launching in two versions. The action game takes the yo-kai to Karakuri Island, where it is said that the treasure of a pirate king rests.
Most of the new titles launching this week are already available in western territories or are launching in the west at the same time, save for a few exceptions.
