Nippon Ichi Software Overhauls Murder Detective: Jack The Ripper With Chibi Designs As April Fools’ Joke

To celebrate April Fools’ Day 2019, Nippon Ichi Software decided to make Murder Detective: Jack the Ripper safe for kids.

The publisher made a mock announcement today that the game would see an overhaul into ‘Chibi Detective: Jack the Ripper‘. Instead of all the wonderful visuals we’ve seen recently, players will have to endure cutesy chibi characters in their place.

Besides a fake announcement, Nippon Ichi Software even released a fake trailer and changed the game’s website completely for today. You can visit the fake website over here, and check out the fake trailer below.

This is definitely one of the higher-effort japes that we’ve witnessed! We’ll report back on other companies’ antics when we hear more today.
