FuRyu’s announcement around EXSTETRA adds more detail than the initial Switch-focused write-up suggested. The company said the HD remaster is in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, but also for PlayStation 5, while the PC version on Steam is scheduled to launch on July 30, 2026. Switch 2 and Switch release timing was left as “to be announced,” according to multiple reports citing FuRyu’s Japanese announcement. (nintendoeverything.com) The game is a remaster of EXSTETRA, a fantasy RPG that originally released in 2013 for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita in Japan. The new version is notable because it is set for a worldwide release and will include English language support, alongside Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese, according to the product details carried by Famitsu and other outlets. (nintendoeverything.com) FuRyu tied the announcement to Japan’s “Kiss Day” on May 23, a nod to the game’s central mechanic and theme. In EXSTETRA, the story takes place in “Amazea,” a Tokyo fused with another world, and the protagonist’s kisses are part of how allies awaken and gain power. Nintendo Everything described it as “a fantasy RPG where a kiss saves the world,” matching the premise outlined in the Japanese press materials. (nintendoeverything.com) One important clarification for anyone tracking the Switch versions: Nintendo Everything’s May 24 post correctly said no launch date had been announced for Switch 2 and Switch, but that does not mean the project has no schedule at all. The current schedule is split by platform — Steam on July 30, 2026, with Switch 2, Switch, and PS5 versions still undated. (nintendoeverything.com) The announcement also marks the first official English release for the game. The original EXSTETRA never launched outside Japan, so the remaster is both a platform update and a localization milestone for a niche FuRyu RPG that had been unavailable to Western audiences through official channels. (nintendoeverything.com) For now, the next concrete milestone is the Steam release on July 30, 2026. FuRyu has not yet announced prices or release dates for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation 5, but those versions remain in development. (gematsu.com)
