13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim launches September 8 in the west
Vanillaware's science-fiction adventure game gets a western release date.
Vanillaware-developed science-fiction adventure game 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim will launch for PlayStation 4 on September 8 in the Americas and Europe, Atlus announced during IGN’s Summer of Gaming 2020 live stream.
The $59.99 physical launch edition will include an exclusive art book while supplies last. Pre-orders for the digital edition will include a digital version of the art book.
Due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on Atlus’ production schedules, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim will only include Japanese voice-overs at launch. A free English voice-overs patch will be released sometime after launch. The game will support English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish subtitles.
Here is an overview of the game, via Atlus:
