Notice and Apology for the Delay
Initially, the game was planned for release as a digital-only title. However, following the announcement, we have carefully considered the possibility of releasing a physical edition. Thanks to the cooperation of several publishing partners, we are now preparing to release physical package editions for multiple regions.
To unify the release dates for both the digital and physical versions, we have decided to delay the launch. We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the game, and we kindly ask for your understanding as we work to deliver the best possible experience.
We are also pleased to announce a brand-new mode exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition—the “Gun Shooting Mode.”
In this mode, Juliet, the game’s protagonist, is equipped with her Chainsaw Blaster at all times and takes on zombie hunting using only gunfire. Each stage features “WAVE” sections where hordes of zombies surge in, allowing players to enjoy a new gameplay experience as they aim and shoot from an over-the-shoulder perspective.
Additionally, this mode incorporates ride-rail shooter elements, where players progress through stages a long a set path, offering a fresh and thrilling experience distinct from the traditional gameplay style.
This mode also supports mouse-style controls using the Nintendo Switch 2’s Joy-Con 2, providing a more intuitive gameplay experience. It is unlocked a nd becomes playable upon completing either Original Mode or RePOP Mode.
