The year is coming to a close once again.
Oh yeah - we totally released La-Mulana 2 this year. I barely even know what's going on anymore.

Anyway, thanks so much to all the backers for all of your patience! Has everyone managed to clear the game already?
We haven't been putting up any of these updates for awhile now, as we've been super busy with all the game updates taking up our time up till now and most of our time now being taken up by porting work.
Even being built with Unity, unfortunately we can't simply just stick the game onto consoles as-is and expect it to function properly. We have to search out all the spots we need to optimize, and fix them up ourselves. If, during this process, we're able to lighten the game even further, we may add those changes into the PC version as well.

But the thing everyone is likely most interested in would be the rewards.
This is sort of our own problem, but I live in Japan. And most of our backers don't.
If we don't set everything up so that all of the rewards - of which there are a lot - can be mailed out at once, things would get extremely hairy. Sendable sizes alone are a big issue, and even if we wanted to, we wouldn't be able to do something like put together a super awesome artbook and mail it out to everyone.
So anyway, the rewards will all be sent out once they're all ready to go, which should hopefully be sometime around the time the console version is released.
For now, I'm gonna continue doing my part and working on what I can.

This year was marked largely by our desperate and frenzied efforts to get the game out, but next year you'll be able to play the game on consoles. Next year is the real big show for La-Mulana 2.
Happy New Year!

We are happy to announce those news for you during Tokyo Game Show 2018. So, see you at KONAMI booth in Hall 5, Makuhari Messe!

We just announced it today at Pre-PAX.
LA-MUALANA 2 will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It will be released in Spring 2019!

We will post more updates at a later date.
This must be good news for those who play games mainly on consoles.

We are going to exhibit LA-MULANA 2 at PAX WEST 2018.

The location is #6120 on the 6th floor. Almost same place as last year.

We will announce something new about LA-MULANA 2, so you don’t miss it!



Why are we going to join the event? Can you guess what?? Visit us and get the latest news before anyone else!

Last week, I totally forgot to write the thing I wanted to write most.
As you know, La-Mulana 2 is not exactly kind to its users - not even to backers.
Some of the rewards consisted of messages on dead bodies and murals and stuff like that. Have you found them yet?

For the dead bodies, we placed them as close to the requested locations as possible.
You can get the backer names to display by loading the "Race Scanner" app.

The murals are spread all over the place.
But that purple fuzzy thing that pops up during events was made using everyone's faces as assets.

We've managed to release, finally!
Of course it's not done, we still need to have lots of adjustments and bug-fixes, but honestly, we're burned out.

Since the release, I'm just watching various Let's plays.
I've heard someone already beat the game, or happen to find the terrible bug while I watch, or some users are using an unknown glitch to go through the walls.

We'll be working on the rest of backer rewards one by one.
If any of you still haven't got the keys, please contact below; support@playism.jp
