Publisher PQube revealed a date for the western console release of Root Letter: Last Answer. While we'll have to wait to find out when it's set to arrive on PC, the PS4 and Switch versions hit Europe on August 30, followed by North America on September 3.
The Day One Edition—which includes purchases made via pre-order and at launch—packs the game with a 100-page art book.
PQube announced plans for a western release near the end of April. Here's how they describe the updated classic:
Synopsis:
15 years have passed since your correspondence with your pen friend Aya Fumino. While you moved on with your life, a confession of murder left in her last letter now resurfaces.
