TriggerHeart EXELICA sees Switch release on Dec. 14th, 2023

We first heard of aspirations to bring TriggerHeart EXELICA to Switch back in July, which was when a crowdfunding campaign launched. Since then, TriggerHeart EXELICA has been confirmed for Switch, and publisher Cosmo Machia has announced a Dec. 14th, 2023 release date.

TriggerHeart EXELICA will include an Arcade Mode and Story Mode, along with an Arrange Mode that adjusts difficulty, as well as a Training Mode for beginners. Players will be able to enjoy this title in “tate” mode, which means you can play it vertically oriented. TriggerHeart EXELICA will also include online rankings and a sound mode with additional arranged sound sources.

Triggerheart Exelica started out as a 2006 arcade game, but has since been ported to various consoles including the Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, and Xbox 360. Following Cosmo Machia’s recent acquisition of the IP, a Switch version would be the first time the game was ported to a modern platform since 2008.
