Labyrinth of Zangetsu heads to Switch in the west in Q1 2023, English trailer shared
Releasing in Japan next month
UPDATE: PQube and ACQUIRE have now officially announced a western release for Labyrinth of Zangetsu. An English version of the trailer has now been shared, which you can check out above. Pre-orders for the physical edition are available now via Funstock.
A few weeks ago, an ESRB listing revealed that Labyrinth of Zangetsu would be getting an English localization from publisher PQube. Although PQube, nor the developers at KaeruPanda, have officially confirmed the western release themselves, newly found Canadian retailer listings paired with the previously discovered ESRB rating now makes it nearly a guarantee. The retailers in question are VGP and PNP Games, with the listings revealing the official box-art for the dungeon RPG, as well as a release timeframe of Q1 2023.
Set in the Ido period, the world has blackened under the disaster of the Ink of Ruin. Conscript a team of skilled warriors to venture deep into the impure Labyrinths to conquer the Ink plaguing the land. Will you return unscathed and free the land of this stain? Dangerous yokai await you inside!”
