Today we are proud to announce that Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom will officially release for Nintendo Switch on August 1st, collecting Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms and Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds into a single revised release. Physical editions will also begin shipping from online retail partner Playasia in the same week as digital launch. A new gameplay trailer has been prepared as a special preview ahead of release.
Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom is a visual novel adventure centered around heroine Chizuru Yukimura and the handsome legendary warriors of the Shinsengumi. Players guide Chizuru’s decisions and romances during a time of great conflict in Japan, near the end of the feudal era when fighting was fierce and love was fleeting. This compilation covers two interconnected tales beloved to long-time fans of the acclaimed otome series, while also offering a perfect jumping-on point for players who might never have experienced Hakuoki’s beautiful storytelling. This Nintendo Switch release also includes revisions to improve English localization based on feedback from the dedicated fanbase.
Digital pricing is set at US$49.99 / 49.99€ / 388 HKD. Pre-orders on the Nintendo Switch eShop will open July 4th, with a 10% pre-order discount available through July 31st. Physical copies are now available to pre-order through Playasia. Limited Editions include the game, manual, soundtrack CD, art book, sticker sheet and numbered certificate in a collector’s box.
