Acquire announced at the Acquire Showcase that it will be releasing the Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent game for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Stream on September 8 in Japan. Pre-orders of the game also begin today.
Unlike the previous titles of the Adventure Academia series, which were 3D dungeon exploration RPGs, Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent is a strategy RPG. Players control deformed students and protect the protagonist Alec, who has no fighting ability while fighting off the onrushing monsters.
The English trailer and website mention that the PC version is “coming soon,” so it is currently unclear whether the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions are planned for release in English.
