Recently. we got a new announcement from NIS America. The latest installment in their cataclysmic adventure franchise of the company - Disaster Report, will head to the Western markets in 2020. It will come with the name of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories for Nintendo Switch, PC, and PS4.
The gameplay
This game features a grim concept where you play the role of an ordinary person with customizable outfits, who goes to a big city in a search for a job in a very hot summer. Then a titular disaster happens when a huge earthquake reaches the city, causing massive devastation. So your job in this game is to guide your character through dangerous places, interacting and communicating with other survivors, gathering resources and food, managing their mental and physical health. This game is not Crash Bandicoot at all.
Control your protagonist through the ruined city's remnants, be on the move, calm and clean. Help the other out, or just save yourself. Be careful of aftershocks, debris, flood, fires, etc. With good teamwork and some luck, maybe you could survive this carnage's aftermath.
A long development process
In fact, NIS Amecia originally planned this game for the PS3, but it was halted by the developer Irem because of the terrible Tōhoku tsunami back in 2011. After that, they canceled this game several days. Then Granzella Studio picked it up and restarted its development from scratch. Finally, they released the game on PS4 for the Japanese market in November of 2018. There will also a Switch port for that version later 2019.
The localized version of the game will hit the western markets early next year on Nintendo Switch, PC and PS4. They also plan for a limited edition to go with the release for consoles. This limited edition will come with a soundtrack CD of the game, and "First-Aid" style backpack and identification tag.
