Western visual novel publisher MangaGamer was in attendance at Anime Weekend Atlanta, where they took the opportunity to announce several new titles they have in progress. In total they have confirmed three new projects, which will be available through their online store and/or Steam in the coming months (or potentially) years.


Golden Fantasia CROSS

MangaGamer have served as an official western visual novel publisher of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, also known by its localised title Umineko: When They Cry. One of the spin-offs created for 07th Expansion’s sound novel series was a fighting game – which the company have acquired the rights to. Serving as MangaGamer’s first fighting game, they have confirmed that work has begun on Golden Fantasia CROSS.

Although not every character from the sound novel series is included, Golden Fantasia Cross is a 2D tag-team fighting game where 19 different characters can duke it out on the battlefield using their (sometimes over-the-top) meta world abilities. Outside of single-player matches, players will also be able to take advantage of a story mode and competitive multiplayer gameplay.

While no release date has been locked in, we do know that Golden Fantasia Cross will be available through the MangaGamer Online Store and Steam. Like the original 8 arcs, this is an all-ages friendly game, albeit with fictional violence.

Looking back at past works from LupieSoft, MangaGamer have also noted that they are continuing their partnership with the company to bring out a DLC expansion for The Menagerie.

This new DLC adds a brand new route to the story featuring two new heroines: Pippistrelli and Omara. Both have been members of the Menagerie for a long time, with Pippi’s ability to fly offering her unique means to come and go from the collection of girls throughout her life. When she returns this time, she finds Omara, the elf who helped care for Pippi, in mourning over the death of her older sister.
