Australian video game publisher Bandai Namco Games Australia have confirmed that they will be publishing Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late in both Australia and New Zealand beginning February 19th 2015.

Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late will be published in North America by Aksys Games and in other PAL regions by Nippon Ichi Software America.
