NIS America has announced that they’re bringing five playable demos to this year’s PAX East convention… including one secret game.

The ones that we know about include a pair of compilations coming in March (Langrisser I & II and La-Mulana 1 & 2), a survival adventure set to launch this April (Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories), and the Switch debut of a popular RPG series (The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III).

But because everyone loves a secret, it’s that fifth game that’s sure to get attendees (and everyone else) excited. NIS America isn’t offering any hints as to what else they’re bringing to Boston, but it will be playable at their booth.

This year’s PAX East convention will take place from February 27th through March 1, and you can learn more about NIS America’s game lineup after the break. (more…)

NIS America will release Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories on April 7

Posted on January 7, 2020 by John Scalzo

NIS America has announced that Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories will be released for the PC, PS4, and Switch on April 7. If you’re unfamiliar with the Disaster Report series, the publisher also passed along a few new details about the game, which was originally released in Japan in 2018:

About Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
A calm summer day turns into catastrophe when a massive earthquake strikes your city, throwing buildings and lives into chaos. In order to survive, you must navigate familiar locations under unfamiliar circumstances. The fellow survivors you meet and crucial decisions you make will affect the course of your experience and ultimately determine how your journey through this crisis will end.

Features

  • Stop! Think! Then Act! – Evaluate each perilous situation and make decisions that will impact your own safety as well as that of others.
  • Torn From the Headlines – Interact with realistic scenarios within a Japanese city devastated by an earthquake, including scenarios designed in collaboration with the Kobe City Fire Bureau.
  • Danger Around Every Corner – Navigate a multitude of crises—from collapsing buildings to raging fires—in a city aplomb with peril.

The Disaster Report series has had something of a shaky history in the US (the third game was never released outside of Japan), but hardcore fans will be able to pick up a special Limited Edition of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories for the PS4 and Switch. The Limited Edition will be available exclusively through the NIS America Store, and include a copy of the game, the Official Soundtrack, an Emergency Backpack, and an Identification Tag.

In addition to announcing a release date and the Limited Edition, NIS America also revealed a brand new Gameplay Trailer for the survival sim, and it’s been embedded above.
