NIS America announced the worldwide release of two upcoming titles during PAX West 2026: an Astonishia Story remaster and The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster. Both games are scheduled for release across Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Astonishia Story Remaster Details
The Astonishia Story remaster launches on February 11, 2027. NIS America confirmed that the title will receive a physical Special Edition at launch. This bundled version includes collectible art cards, an acrylic keychain, and the official game soundtrack.
The Grimm Reapress Launch
The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster arrives worldwide in 2027. The title previously released in Japan on April 30. The upcoming western launch brings the same multi-platform availability, covering current and next-generation Nintendo hardware alongside Sony and PC ecosystems.
The 2027 releases secure a steady pipeline of multi-platform JRPG and adventure content from NIS America early in the year, led by the February rollout of the Astonishia Story remaster and its physical collector's package.
The simultaneous rollout across both current and next-generation Nintendo hardware highlights a strategic approach to software deployment, ensuring maximum market reach as the gaming industry navigates a hardware transition period. By anchoring the early first-quarter schedule with a high-profile remaster complete with tangible collector bonuses, the publisher aims to capture both nostalgic longtime fans and newcomers looking for physical keepsakes. Meanwhile, the impending arrival of The Grimm Reapress and the Drearytale Monster expands the company's catalog with a title that has already undergone critical evaluation in its domestic market, allowing the localization team to fine-tune the worldwide edition based on initial reception.
As players look ahead to 2027, these announcements reinforce the publisher's commitment to bridging regional release gaps and delivering diverse experiences across a wide spectrum of platforms. With pre-orders expected to open in the coming months, fans can anticipate further details regarding pricing, digital bundles, and specific localization enhancements as the launch windows draw closer.
