2018, PS4 & PC, NISA localising.

http://gematsu.com/2017/09/25th-ward-silver-case-coming-west-2018

Here’s an overview of the game, via NIS America:

About

It is been five years since the events of 1999’s The Silver Case, set in the new 25th Ward that arose in the bayside area of Kanto. In a room of the “Bayside Tower Land” apartment complex, a woman is found murdered under mysterious circumstances. This sets off a series of seemingly random events bridging across multiple protagonists including The Silver Case’s Tokio Morishima. With all viewpoints assembled, a truly shocking pattern emerges…

Key Features

A Suda 51 Trip – Set in the “Kill the Past” universe, the series continues its bleak look into a semi-futuristic world on the edge of collapse and the misfits and antiheroes that inhabit it.
Brave New World – The return of the signature “Film Window” system is brought to The 25th Ward for the first time! New visuals, sounds, and controls capture the game in a fresh perspective.
One Story, Many Sides – Explore this dark take on Tokyo from three different perspectives, “Correctness,” “Placebo,” and “Matchmaker.”

ALL FIVE FANS OF THE SILVER CASE, GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE.

I'm so relieved this game is getting saved from mobile hell, in there day one.

Dear god I hope the translation is not as vague and nebulous as the first one. The first one reads like somebody translated the script line-by-line in a spreadsheet without seeing any context whatsoever of the action.

 

[Dascu]

Not really unexpected, but good to have the confirmation.

 

[Itsuki]

I already have the Japanese PS4 limited edition preordered after how the box of my silver case PC physical package arrived broken.
But I’m getting this day 1 on steam if it doesn’t get released after the Japanese PS4 version because I always wanted to play 25th Ward.

 

[Cactus]

Nice!

 

[atomsk]

day one for Suda

 

[Jamix012]

The Silver Case was interesting but parts of it honestly went over my head. Will this clear up some of the confusion?

 

[898]

Paging CJ_Iwakura, SumioMondo

I'm in for more messed up Suda!

 

[Phenomenal Flea]

Already have this preordered on Amazon Japan, but I can't wait!

 

[kunonabi]

Hopefully the silver case will be fixed by then.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Awesome.

With Flower, Sun & Rain on DS and Michigan released in Europe are all of Suda's Grasshopper games now available in English?

There's also Fatal Frame IV but that has been fan translated. Maybe someday some will do the same for the Blood+ PS2 game.

 

[Infernostew]

Is there going to be a physical release and does this contain the first game or is it like a DLC release?

 

[Palette Swap]

It's NISA, what could go wrong?

 

[Secret Fawful]

I'm totally down for more of this trippy, uncomfortable insanity.

 

[poppos2097]

Hoping Flower Sun and Rain is in the pipeline for a remaster but at least the DS version got translated.

I loved it. Suda vetted it, too. That said, most translations are done via spreadsheet... If not all of them.
Can't wait for 25W.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The Silver Case was interesting but parts of it honestly went over my head. Will this clear up some of the confusion?

Nope. This is a new story. The tale of Kamui is over. TSC told you all you need to know... mostly.

It's NISA, what could go wrong?

I'm sure the same guys are translating it. NISA just published their work.
Yep, trailer confirmed it. AGM.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The lack of hype for this compared to NMH3 is astonishing. And saddening.

 

[BiggNife]

The lack of hype for this compared to NMH3 is astonishing. And saddening.

It's a sequel to a visual novel that just came out in english last year and had minimal marketing. Meanwhile NMH3 was literally a "One More Thing" on the Nindies direct.

I don't think it's all that astonishing.

 

[Jacqli]

I bought the first one when it was on sale, I still have not played it. The story of my life.

 

[Kyonashi]

hell yesssss

More SUDA all the time.

Spoiler

these would both be great on Switch

 

[dreamfall]

Holy goodness! I need all Suda's games on PC!

 

[Dascu]

The lack of hype for this compared to NMH3 is astonishing. And saddening.

I wish TSC got more attention too, but come on now, we shouldn't play them out against each other. NMH's success allowed GHM to stay in business.

 

[MaximumSpider]

This and 428 possibly in Q1 2018. Yeeeaahhhhhhh

 

[cj_iwakura]

I wish TSC got more attention too, but come on now, we shouldn't play them out against each other. NMH's success allowed GHM to stay in business.

I suppose, I just wish there was more crossover. TSC is Suda on full tilt.

Did the recent PC release of The Silver Case ever get the additional PS4 content?

 

[Curler]

So it looks like the LE is already up on NISA Store, but... you HAVE to buy it as a Silver Case LE bundle?! But I already own it!!

 

[BBboy20]

Yes.

And no PC LE as well. Kind of souring this announcement. =/

 

[Curler]

PC LE was done by LRG though, and that was a messy situation in itself.

I'm just hoping for a separate PS4 LE to get put up. It's a weird decision.

Have you played the Japanese version?

 

[ShyMel]

Maybe someone just forgot to put up the 25th Ward only LE up on the website...and mention it in the email. Hopefully, they'll make a statement clearing the situation up.

 

[CannonFodder52]

So it looks like the LE is already up on NISA Store, but... you HAVE to buy it as a Silver Case LE bundle?! But I already own it!!

Same boat here. Pretty sour about this.

Hyped for the game though*

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Great news. I really, really hope this then leads on to a Flower, Sun & Rain remake (hopefully in the Travis Strikes Back engine).

ALL FIVE FANS OF THE SILVER CASE, GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE.

Paging CJ_Iwakura, SumioMondo

Reporting for duty! This is an easy buy.

I definitely understood TSC more on my second playthrough on the PS4 (with the additional content). Those two additional short chapters they released did a good job of tying in the series together in rather cool ways.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Have you played the Japanese version?

I have.

 

[AniHawk]

this limited edition is going to be available at retail, the situation on nisa's store is for people who missed out on the first game's limited edition too.

 

[voodoopanda]

Still getting over the fact The Silver Case finally came out in English, and getting the 25th Ward too! Can't wait to play it.

 

[Curler]

Retail as in Amazon and Gamestop, or NISA Store will include a separate listing soon?

amazon, gamestop, if they carry the limited edition.

 

[Persona7]

NISA Limited edition for TSC was fucking abysmal.
