The game was first teased through the official website that went online on January 29, 2025;[4][5] it was fully revealed on January 30 as a part of Compile Heart's 2025 lineup trailer.[6][7] In Japan, the PlayStation 5 version will be published both physically and digitally, while the PlayStation 4 and PC versions will be digital-only. The publisher Compile Heart announced Special Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition that include additional materials.[2] For the international release, the game is published by Idea Factory International, with the PlayStation versions available both physically and digitally.[8][9][10] The game was released on May 29, 2025.[3][8] The Xbox Series X and Series S versions will be released in September 2.[11]
