Today Inti Creates and PQube announced the release dates of the comeback of the Gal*Gun franchise, Gal*Gun Returns.
The game will launch in North America on January 28 for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, and on February 12 in Europe for the same platform on top of the worldwide Steam release.
As mentioned when Gal*Gun Returns was announced, PlayStation fans will have to sit this one out.
Alongside the announcement, we also get to see a trailer featuring the opening cutscene and the theme song “Illumination Love Returns” performed by Kaname Nonomiya’s voice actress Haruka Miyake.
Below you can read an official description of Gal*Gun Returns directly from the developer.
“GalGun is the entertaining story of a young man who becomes “super popular” with the opposite sex and is now living the “unfortunate” life of having every lady that looks his way confessing their undying love for him. But he must steel himself and fend these would-be lovers off with his ‘special weapon’ (known as the Pheromone Shot), as he tries to win the affections of one of the main protagonists. GalGun is the crazy combination of arcade-style shooting action and dating sim that truly has no equal.
