R-Type Final 2 Development Information June 2020

Distribution of Demo Version for Backers

The delivery of the demo version for backers, which was scheduled in the spring of 2020, has been delayed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The "demo version for backers" will be available on Steam Early Access (beta testing) in July 2020. *This demo version is not available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch or XboxOne.

It is our great pleasure that our backers will be able to experience the "R-Type Final 2" ahead of everyone else.

The delivery date and how to receive the download key will be announced in next month's "Monthly R-Type Final 2". We are working on the production and adjustment of this demo version to make it more enjoyable for our backers. We hope you'll be looking forward to it.

Development Progress Report

We are working on several stages at the same time. The work progresses from enemy design to modelling, implementation, and adjustments.
