Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Enhanced Edition is still not available yet as of October 22, 2024, because it keeps getting delayed by rating review issues. aNCHOR has delayed the visual novel’s release three times, and the latest announcement no longer included a definite release date.
aNCHOR originally planned to release Kimi ga Nozomu Eien on October 17, 2024 in the Americas’ time zones, which was October 18, 2024 in the Japanese time zone. But right on the supposed release date, the company announced a one-day delay to noon JST on October 19, 2024. It cited necessary fixes and adjustments for the rating review.
The issues did not seem to get resolved in time, though. On October 19, 2024, aNCHOR announced that Kimi ga Nozomu Eien got delayed again to noon JST on October 22, 2024, for the same reason. And that brought us to the third delay announcement on the latter date, where aNCHOR also stopped giving a new estimated release date.
As a refresher, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien originally appeared as an adults-only visual novel for PCs in Japan in 2001. When Alchemist and Princess Soft ported the title to the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 respectively in 2002 and 2003, they turned it into an all-ages rated game. The upcoming Enhanced Edition release on Steam will also be based on the all-ages version, although aNCHOR noted that it will contain some references to sexual content that may be inappropriate for younger players.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Enhanced Edition will be available worldwide in Japanese and English on PCs via Steam.
