Japan: Alvastia Chronicles Launches For Switch On 7 February 2019, With English Language Support

Kemco is bringing more RPG goodness to the Nintendo Switch!

According to a new eShop listing, Alvastia Chronicles will be launching on 7 February 2019 in Japan, for 1,296 yen. The title offers a unique spin of the genre, by letting players recruit over 100 party members across its pixelized world!

While the game is only listed for release in Japan for now, it will include English language support. This likely means we will hear news of an international release soon enough.

In the meantime, check out a previous English trailer below – along with more details.
