Ikaruga Physical Release for PS4 and Switch Will Deploy in Japan on September 24, 2020

Treasure’s shoot ’em up Ikaruga will get a physical release for the PS4 and Switch in Japan on September 24, 2020, with Pikii as the publisher. The price is set at 4,950 yen for both the PS4 and Switch at the Pikii Official Game Store.

Check out a new trailer by Pikii for the physical release announcement in Japan:

Items included in the limited physical release of Ikaruga for PS4 and Switch in Japan:

• Ikaruga software
• Reversible cover (Including a Treasure logo on the interior side)
• Special packaging
• Fully-colored manual
• “Ikaruga” model by Model Earth

Unfortunately, this limited physical edition will only be available in Japan. It’s also worth noting that the content will be the exact same as the digital version released in May/June 2018.

On a more positive note, we’ll get physical copies of Ikaruga from Nicalis in North America and Europe sometime in 2020. We still don’t have an exact release date, but the publisher recently shared the following tweet with a look at the cartridge and disc:
