Another Nasu story is now widely available
One of Type-Moon’s visual novels gets its wider release today.Witch on the Holy Nightis now digitally available on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
This is an update of the original 2012 PC release, which was only released in Japan. This new version is available worldwide today, with remastered visuals and animated graphic elements too.
The story ofWitch on the Holy Nightfollows Soujyuro Sizuki, a young student who finds himself wrapped up in the lives of two witches. Set in the late 1980s, it still looks to have a lot of the magic and deep lore you’d be looking for in a Type-Moon story.
You can find the new version ofWitch on the Holy Nighton theNintendo eShop here, or on thePlayStation Store here. Both platforms also have a demo version available.
Fate/Holy Night
For fans of the Type-Moon universe, bringingWitch on the Holy Nightisn’tonlyabout making this specific story more widely available. As evidenced by the reactions toHoly Night‘s launch onsocial media, fans also hope this could encourage Type-Moon to bring more stories over to western audiences.
If you’re unfamiliar with Kinoko Nasu, he’s the author behind a lot of popular visual novels that have since become major properties, includingTsukihimeandFate/stay night. The latter has ballooned out into a major force thanks toFate/Grand Order, and the former is the setting for the increasingly popularMelty Bloodfighting games.
While the series has grown its fan base in the west, we still haven’t seen some major pieces of the Nasu-verse officialy debut here. The originalFate/stay nightisn’t readily available on North American storefronts. And the recently releasedTsukihimeremake seemsup in the airfor western audiences. The hope is that ifWitch on the Holy Nightdoes well, more from this universe may make its way over.
Either way, a Type-Moon visual novel is out today, and that’s pretty neat in its own right.Witch on the Holy Nightis out now on Switch and PS4.
