We wanted to maintain the same experience for all players old and new, so aside from now being playable in Japanese and having some simple trophies added, it’s the same game as before. Well, remember when we said there’d be no new content in the PS4/Vita versions? That’s…still mostly true. Fortunately, it’s Cross-Buy, so you only have to buy it once to get both PS4 and Vita versions.įinally, astute observers may be wondering what’s up with the artwork surrounding the game screens in all of these screenshots. Personally, I hope you get to check it out on Vita – it looks great on the small screen, and being able to play Undertale on the go is a real treat. In fact, all versions of the game will feature both English and Japanese language options in the Settings menu.) (Fear not – it’s in English too, of course. Not only is Undertale now fully localized into Japanese, but it’s releasing on PlayStation platforms in a few short days.
The answer? We would bring it to PS4 and Vita!ĭeveloping the PS4 and Vita versions was not without its challenges, but in the end, we managed to pull it off with minimal fatalities (we’ll miss you, test PS4). We put a ton of effort into the localization, so how could we make it so a wider audience could experience it? Especially in Japan, where the game hadn’t seen an official Japanese-language release yet. (As some of you may know, 8-4 is primarily a localization company we’ve been localizing games back and forth between Japan and the west since 2005.) So at first, our goal was (relatively) simple: give this game the best Japanese localization possible, and that’s it!Ĭheck it out: It’s Undertale…in Japanese!īut along the way, we realized that just localizing it into Japanese wasn’t going to be enough. When Toby Fox, Undertale’s creator, first approached us about working on the game, it wasn’t to bring it to consoles – it was to localize it for Japan. It’s a special game – one that’s left quite an impression on many of those who’ve already played it on PC – and we can’t wait for PlayStation owners to be able to experience it for themselves on August 15. Next week! To say we’re excited would be the understatement of the year. Next week, Undertale launches for PS4 and Vita.
