[3]
It was announced in August 2017 that Sony Interactive Entertainment would be publishing and providing localisation of the game in Chinese territories. [4] In September 2017, it was announced by NIS America that the game would be receiving a Western release, [5] with a Nintendo Switch port also being announced for the West in February 2018. [6]
