As hinted yesterday by the opening of the Steam page of Super Robot Wars 30, today Bandai Namco confirmed that it is indeed coming west.
The game will launch in North America and Europe day and date with the Japanese launch on August 28 for PC via Steam. Apparently, the PS4 and Switch versions aren’t coming west (but you can still import them from South East Asia if you prefer playing on consoles with English subtitles). Pre-purchase is already available on Valve’s storefront.
This is a rather relevant moment for those who enjoy the Super Robot Wars series as it’s the first time a mainline game is launched in the west.
The Original Generation spin-off series (which comes with its own original characters and robots, bypassing any licensing issue) had already debuted in the west with its first two games on the Game Boy Advance, but this si the first time that we get the “real thing” with all of its crossover goodness between mecha anime series from our youth and more modern ones.
