Corpse Party Sequel on its Way, Original on Sale

Corpse Party Sequel on its Way, Original on Sale, 10.0 out of 10 based on 2 ratings

So… this game is a comedy, right?

XSEED’s Corpse Party is a game we highly recommended here at BT. Luckily for us, the sequel, Book of Shadows, is currently going through localization and has been confirmed for a NA release. The launch will be purely digital, but the game should be compatible with both the PSP and the PS Vita as the publisher seeks to continue the trend started with the first release.

Official Description
Corpse Party: Book of Shadows is divided into eight chapters, each of which tells its own self-contained short story. Some of them help fill in the blanks of what happened during crucial off-camera scenes from the original game. Others go into the back-story of various characters, helping to flesh them out and make their roles in the series mythos a bit clearer. Still others ask “what if?,” presenting an alternate version of events from the first game in which characters who previously died are kept alive and given a fleeting chance to stay that way. And the game’s wonderfully-titled final chapter, “Blood Drive,” serves as a true sequel, focusing on two of the first game’s survivors as they venture somewhere even deadlier than Heavenly Host Elementary School in order to dig up some answers.

In addition to this exciting announcement, the original Corpse Party will be on sale from October 23rd to November 6th. Check the the North American PlayStation Store tomorrow after the update to pick the game up for $9.99–half off of the usual price. Now that’s a deal… to die for.

Specific information on pricing and release for Corpse Party: Book of Shadows timing will be available “in the coming months.”

    Oh my God, i loved the first Corpse Party game. Japanese horror games are without a doubt the best, and the tip of the spear is still the original Silent Hill trilogy.

    But Corpse party… holy hell, I know i’ll lose some manpoints for this but i don’t care; When i was playing it, it seriously made me afraid to be in a dark room, even with other people around. It literally made me feel like a 4 year old who is afraid of the dark.

    And now the sequel is coming to us? Sweet!
    I just hope that us, here in Finland, get a european PSN store release for it. Though, Xseed has brought just about every one of their games to EU as well, so my hopes are running high.

    Now if they would just release the next part of the new Legend of Heroes; Trails in the sky trilogy…

    But anyways, great news, looking forward to this.

    “It’s a game about dead children. I… don’t have any jokes.”
    What about “I’m dying to play this game”?
