In a very surprising announcement from Sekai Project, the localization/publishing team have confirmed that they will be working with VisualArt’s / KEY to release popular visual novel CLANNAD in English markets. This release will not only be the first time any major KEY work has been published outside of Japan, but will also celebrate Clannad’s tenth anniversary. They hope that this will serve as a first step of making VisualArt’s famous titles available around the world.
Details on this release are limited, but Sekai Project have confirmed that the VN will be available through Steam, and will also be supported through the KickStarter crowdfunding platform. Expect to hear more in the very near future!
CLANNAD tells the story of Tomoya Okazaki, a third-year student who doesn’t take life seriously and listlessly waits for something to break out of his monotonous life. A chance meeting with a female classmate, Nagisa Furukawa, and other fellow students begins to change both him and the people around him. With memorable characters and a sentimental story, CLANNAD will tug at the heart strings of readers and further draw them into the world of VisualArt’s famous title.
Still pyched that this title got anounced!
