Marvelous Europe, and XSEED Games, have today confirmed that Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion will now be released in 2025. Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion was originally announced for a Fall 2024 release, but it has now been pushed back to 2025 to allow for additional time in improving the quality of the game.
Developed by Team GrisGris and MAGES., Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion is an entirely new chapter within the Corpse Party franchise, and will sees different characters, a new setting and a terrifyingly new curse that is sure to bring more thrills (and chills) for fans of the franchise.
About: Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion follows three high school friends; Haruka Nanami, Nemu Takanashi, and Maria Hitsugi, as they explore the Amare Est Vivere Hospital, testing a local urban legend as the streamer Nemu seeks to boost her subscriber count. Unfortunately for the three girls, the legend of “Ayame’s Mercy” is true, and they trigger a decades-old curse that sends them into a dark realm. Together they must avoid the vengeful spirit of Ayame Kirishima and other horrors from the hospital’s dark past as they search for a way to dispel Ayame’s curse once and for all.
Unlike previous Corpse Party games, which have generally been top-down, Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion will allow players to freely explore fully 3D-rendered halls and will offer a first-person viewpoint perspective as you strive to keep the characters alive. This new perspective is expected to complement the series’ visual novel-style storytelling, pairing updated visuals with gruesome descriptions and spine-tingling binaural audio accompanied by the original Japanese voiceovers. It’s also been confirmed that Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion will feature six chapters, with eight additional scenarios and plenty of Wrong Ends for players to discover, as they try to uncover the truth behind “Ayame’s Mercy”.
Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion is expected to be released in 2025 within Europe, with the game being released physically and digitally for the Nintendo Switch as well as digitally for the PlayStation 4 (via PlayStation Store). The game will also be released globally for Windows PC (via Steam) and as well as in North America (for Nintendo Switch & PlayStation 4) via XSEED Games.
