What we did

Launch PR

What we did 

  • Contacted more than 500 games journalists,  as well as bloggers who we thought, would be interested in the game because of its huge global popularity and striking anime art style.
  • We extensively playtested the game to make sure it was ready for a Western release. This included language, grammar and spelling checks, as well as editing text for video trailers and promos.
