Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion Delayed Until 2025

Back in March 2024, Mages and XSEED said we’d get to play through Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion in Fall 2024, but now it’s been delayed. The new release window for the latest entry in the horror series is 2025. However, XSEED did reveal the Ayame’s Mercy Collector’s Edition version of the game following the announcement.

First, here’s the Mages and Team GrisGris announcement regarding the delay. It stated it was done to ensure the overall quality of the title.

XSEED also released a similar statement on social media that briefly discussed why Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion had been delayed. As a reminder, a small segment of the game was playable at events like Anime Expo 2024.

As for the Corpse Party 2 Ayame’s Mercy release, that collector’s edition is available directly through Marvelous. Nintendo Switch and PS4 versions of it are available for $79.99 each. In addition to a copy of the game, you get a metal case that looks like an Amare Est Vivere Medical Kit found in-game, an LED blue candle that looks like the ones at save points, an Evidence Kit with items resembling ones you discover while you play, a lenticular art card, and a 64-page art book. 

Here’s how that will look:

Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam in 2025, following it being delayed out of its Fall 2024 launch window.
