Development
The game was first announced in July 2015, as a collaboration between Spike Chunsoft and tri-Ace in a fourteen-page article in Weekly Famitsu . [9] The game was developed by much of the same tri-Ace staff that had worked on the first Valkyrie Profile game, with assistance from Spike Chunsoft staff as well. [6] Other key staff for the game include character designer Mino Taro of Konami 's Love Plus series, and music composer Motoi Sakuraba, composer for tri-Ace's Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean series. [9] [10] [11] Although it was originally scheduled for release on November 26, 2015, [4] the game was delayed to its final release date, December 17. [7] Shortly after the game's Japanese release, Spike Chunsoft began downloadable content collaborations with some of tri-Ace's other games, including Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean 5 games. [12] The collaborations, released in March 2016, consisted of character costumes based on character's from the two aforementioned titles, along with a costume to dress up as Monokuma, the primary antagonist from Spike Chunsoft's Danganronpa series of video games. [13]
Until April 2016, no information had been announced in regards to an English language release of the game. [12] [13] NIS America, a frequent publisher for Spike Chunsoft games in English ( Danganronpa 1 , Danganronpa 2 , Danganronpa Another Episode ), gave a "no comment" response when asked about localizing the title. [6] Aksys Games acquired the rights to localize Exist Archive and released it in North America on October 18, 2016. [2] Aksys Games released the game in Europe as a digital-only release on September 8. [14]
