\nReynatis<\/strong>, a very stylish looking action game revealed during Japan’s Nintendo Direct last week, is actually getting a release in the west.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhen I saw the trailer for Reynatis I very quickly thought “oh hey, this reminds me of Kingdom Hearts,” not least because one of the game’s two main characters is dressed pretty much exactly like Riku in Kingdom Hearts 3. And then I heard the music… and wouldn’t you know it, it’s Yoko Shimomura, long-time composer of Kingdom Hearts. Then, what do you know, it turns out that lead writer on the Kingdom Hearts series Kazushige Nojima is also the writer on it? And it’s set in Shibuya, which Kingdom Hearts 4 will be set in? Damn, this game has me written all over it!\n<\/p>\n

\nUnfortunately, it was only shown during the Japanese version of last week’s Nintendo Partners Direct, so I was worried it might not get a western release. But, thankfully, as revealed today, the game will be coming to the west this coming fall, and on top of a Nintendo Switch release, it’s also coming to PS4, PS5, and PC. You can check out the PlayStation announcement trailer above, which is admittedly looking a little rough in places (spot the framerate issues and slightly PS2-era models), but I’m honestly excited enough at the prospect of a game with two big names like Nojima and Shimomura attached.\n<\/p>\n
