3goo has announced that it will release the Japanese version of UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves for PlayStation 5 and 4 on April 18, 2024. It will include Japanese voiceovers, and Microids will also add the new voice option to the global release once the game is formally out in Japan.
The Japanese version will have a different subtitle: Tatoe Waga Inochi Tsukiru tomo (Even if My Life Were to Perish). A limited Collector’s Edition will be available at ¥7,980 (~$56), and it will include an artbook, two character pins, a Grendizer keychain, an original soundtrack album, and four postcards. The Japanese box will still have less content than the European Collector’s Edition, which comes with a 25cm (~9.84 inches) tall figurine and costs more at £249.99 (~$316).
3goo has also published a new trailer to announce the Japanese release date. But while the end of the trailer confirms the inclusion of Japanese voiceovers, it mostly reused the English launch trailer with English voiceovers while adding Japanese subtitles.
UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves has been available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC since November 14, 2023. However, it only features voiceovers in English, French, Italian, and Arabic at launch.
Microids has also addressed the issue regarding Japanese voiceovers on the game’s Steam forum. It promised that it will add the Japanese voice option as a free update to all available platforms worldwide as soon as the official Japanese release is out. The French company initially put Q1 2024 as an estimated release window for the Japanese version.
UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is immediately available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. The Japanese release of UFO Robot Grendizer: Tatoe Waga Inochi Tsukiru tomo, which also brings Japanese voiceovers, will appear on April 18, 2024. Microids is also planning to release the game for Nintendo Switch in 2024.
