Mighty No.9, the side-scrolling action game created by Keiji Inafune, will hit retail and digital stores internationally on September 18 and in the US on September 15, Comcept and new partner Deep Silver have announced.
The game had been pencilled in to launch this month.
Retail editions will be available for Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PC, Linux and Mac. PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will be digital only, whilst portable versions on PS Vita and 3DS will follow at a later date.
The new relationship with Deep Silver has provided Comcept with additional resources to add “significant value” for both existing Kickstarter backers and new players alike. These additions include:
- An all-new stage including an epic battle with Beck’s rival Ray that, upon completion, unlocks Ray as a playable character for the entire main game, adding unique skills and all-new gameplay mechanics. The stage will be available as additional downloadable content, adding huge replay value. This extra content will be included in the retail editions and will be offered free of charge to all backers of the project at the launch of the game.
- Japanese and French voice-overs have been recorded and will be added to all versions of the game alongside the already planned English VO.
- Deep Silver will provide localized versions with subtitles in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese languages.
Deep Silver will handle the game’s sales and assist Comcept in QA testing. Comcept remains the owner of the Mighty No.9 brand.
“This is a great opportunity for Comcept: The partnership enables us to deliver Mighty No. 9 to a wider audience while adding some great extra value to the game,” said Keiji Inafune, CEO, Comcept. “This comes with the price of a short delay, but we are confident that the extra content is worth the wait.”
