When it appears outside Japan, people will have multiple options. Digital copies of R-Type Final 2 will be available. NIS America also previously announced an Inaugural Flight Edition for consoles that will be at places like Amazon and GameStop for $49.99. That includes an art book and soundtrack. There will also be an $84.99 Limited Edition that adds a Metal Earth R-9A Arrow-Head model and an R-9A tag that says “Thank you for 33 years of service, Pilot!”

In Japan, there will also be a Special Chronicle Box people can buy. It includes things like a face mask, keychain, shirt, and soundtrack.

As a reminder of what you can expect from the game, here’s a trailer. It offers a look at the introduction, the ships you can pilot, and the shoot’em up’s gameplay.

R-Type Final 2 will show up on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X in Japan on April 29, 2021. One day later on April 30, 2021, it will appear on all of those platforms and the PC worldwide.
