Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack canceled for the west

XSEED Games has canceled its previously planned western release of Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack for Switch, stating that the contents of several games in the collection did not comply with current platform guidelines.

Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack first launched for Switch on August 7 in Japan with English language support. It includes the 2021 re-release of Corpse Party, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash, and Corpse Party: Blood Drive.

Here is the full message from XSEED Games on the canceled release:

Corpse Party fans,

We know how much you were anticipating the release of the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack. Though we previously released entries in the Corpse Party series on console platforms and digital storefronts in the west, we were informed that the contents of several games in the Tetralogy Pack did not comply with current platform guidelines. As a result, we are unable to release these games as intended and have subsequently canceled the physical release of Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack, as well as the digital offerings of previously unreleased Corpse Party games featured in the Tetralogy Pack.

We apologize for any confusion and disappointment this may have caused. We remain committed to working with our partners at MAGES. to bring Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion to the west and will share more details on its release when we can. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of XSEED Games and the Corpse Party franchise.
