Press release:
LONDON, UK — 28th March 2024.
Marvelous Europe today joined acclaimed Japanese developer MAGES. in the full reveal of “Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion” and confirmed that the title will get a physical release across Europe and Australia for the Nintendo Switch™ system, and a digital-only release for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC via Steam in Autumn 2024.

XSEED Games will publish the title in North America simultaneously. Corpse Party is back with a brand-new set of horrors that will have fans begging for mercy!

Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion follows three high school friends; Haruka Nanami, Nemu Takanashi, and Maria Hitsugi, as they explore the Amare Est Vivere Hospital, testing a local urban legend as the streamer Nemu seeks to boost her subscriber count. Unfortunately for the three girls, the legend of “Ayame’s Mercy” is true, and they trigger a decades-old curse that sends them into a dark realm. Together they must avoid the vengeful spirit of Ayame Kirishima and other horrors from the hospital’s dark past as they search for a way to dispel Ayame’s curse once and for all.

The cult-classic Japanese horror franchise returns with new characters, a new setting, a terrifying new curse, and a brand-new look allowing for more thrills and chills! Players can freely explore the fully 3D-rendered halls of the Amare Est Vivere Hospital in both third- and, for those brave enough to take a closer look, first-person viewpoints as they try to keep the girls alive. This new perspective complements the series’ visual novel-style storytelling, pairing updated visuals with gruesome descriptions and spine-tingling binaural audio accompanied by the original Japanese voiceovers. Featuring six chapters, with eight additional scenarios and plenty of Wrong Ends for players to discover as they uncover the truth behind “Ayame’s Mercy” and escape with their lives, Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion is the perfect entry point for new horror buffs while keeping longtime fans on the edge of their seats.

Developed by MAGES. and published in Europe and Australia by Marvelous Europe and in North America by XSEED Games, Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion is scheduled for release for the Nintendo Switch™ system, PS4™ system, and Windows PC via Steam this autumn. The Switch™ system physical standard edition will be available shortly for pre-order at participating retailers for SRP €49.99. Details on digital availability will be revealed at a later date. This title has not yet been rated by PEGI.
