‘Urban Myth Dissolution Center’ Out Now on Steam, Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5 [Trailer]
Tokyo-based independent publisher Shueisha Games and developer Hakababunko have released their single-player psycho-detective mystery adventure Urban Myth Dissolution Center (which Aaron reviewed earlier this week). The game is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with a 10% sale discount from February 12th until the 26th.
To accompany the release, the Urban Myth Dissolution Center “Case File: Kune Kune” Manga, which features an original story not found in the game, is also available for free in English via Manga Plus and in Japanese via Jump+.
“We are thrilled to introduce everyone to the Urban Myth Dissolution Center,” said Tomoya Tanaka, Global PR Manager at Shueisha Games. “The game is a love letter to all things supernatural, otherworldly and conspiracy, and we are excited to see how it resonates with audiences around the world. Since the game is available in 13 languages, we’ve made sure the launch trailer is too, so players everywhere can get excited for the mystery that awaits them!”
In Urban Myth Dissolution Center, players dive into the psycho-detective mystery adventure where they take on the role of Azami Fukurai, tasked with unraveling mysteries as she helps run the day-to-day operation of the titular Dissolution Center. She’s no ordinary rookie, though, possessing the ability to see the memories of places through her glasses. Utilizing her unique gifts and skills, Azami must navigate cursed relics, dimensional anomalies, and otherworldly creatures in search of answers, delving into the paranormal activity surrounding each case.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
