Acquire has announced Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent, a strategy RPG set in the world of Class of Heroes for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch for all platforms on September 8 in Japan. Pre-orders will open on June 6. First-print copies include the additional units Felpurr and Dwarf as they appeared in Class of Heroes 3. The English trailer and website only mention the PC version as “coming soon,” so it is currently unclear whether the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions are planned for release in English.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
