But that’s not all! Regarding Umineko’s fighting game Golden Fantasia, Mangagamer report that they are currently testing the new and improved multiplayer! I guess we can only wait and see what the new multiplayer is like, but here’s hoping it addresses some of the netcode issues and allows for smoother online multiplayer! Really excited to hear that they’re putting in the extra work to get it nice and ready.
No word on Umineko Chiru yet, but word on the Discord is that its development is well underway. Here’s hoping for some more news in the near future!
What do you think of all this news? Be sure to let us know in the discussion below!
Here’s to also hoping the the keyboard controls are less confusing. It’s nearly impossible to declare meta without a key mapper in the initial release.
Ahhhh get hype boys and girls, we’re gonna get to the bottom of what happened in Hinamizawa soon! Also I guess the Umineko Fighting game is gonna work better, that’s great news for those that play that.
Hyped for both of these announcements. I’d also love to see MangaGamer pick up Higurashi Daybreak, but that would require a full port from PSP, which is a lot of work.
I am very excited for Golden Fantasia. I’ve been dying to play it for forever. I haven’t heard much about it so I wasn’t even aware there were problems with mulitplayer and controls, but it looks like they’re working hard to fix them. Hopefully it releases soon.
I’m not sure if they will do it, but it would be cool if they had Steam integration for multiplayer so I could click to fight someone from my friends list.
I’m very hyped as well for the two announcements. I’ve been waiting forever for a translation to the Cross expansion of the fighting game, and we’re getting closer to getting an official english release of Saikoroshi-hen.
I am confused as to why they’re releasing Golden Fantasia before Chiru, however much I love the fighting game. So many of the endings rely on the player having finished all of Chiru for them to make sense (even a couple of crack ones, good lord), not to mention the abundance of Chiru-exclusive characters with moves and taunts that are callbacks to Chiru. Hopefully, people who get up in arms over spoilers will have the sense to not play Golden Fantasia until after they finish Chiru.
I’m excited for all of them, although Umineko Chiru is the one I’m waiting for most of all. I wonder if it will be released this summer - I don’t really remember well, but didn’t they annouce the exact release date very little before the actual release last year?
