H2 Interactive announced on August 8 that it will release The Caligula Effect: Overdose game on the PlayStation 4 in Asia with English and Chinese subtitles this fall. Retailer Play Asia is listing the game with a release on October 31.
NIS America will release the game for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam in early 2019 in North America and Europe. The company describes the game:
Mobius. An idyllic world that exists for the sake of letting people forget about the pain and problems of reality. In this world created by a sentient vocaloid program, μ (Mu), reality and fantasy has become blurred, allowing people to relive their high school years in bliss. Yet in this seemingly beautiful and perfect world, something is amiss. Escape from this false paradise with your fellow students and return to reality in The Caligula Effect: Overdose!
The game is a remake of FuRyu's The Caligula Effect PlayStation Vita game that uses Unreal Engine 4, and features enhanced graphics for event scenes, as well as a redesigned battle system and user interface.
The game shipped in Japan for the PS4 on May 17.
The original game shipped in Japan for the PS Vita in June 2016. Atlus USA launched the game in North America and Europe in May 2017. The release was digital only in the West.
The original game inspired a 12-episode television anime adaptation that premiered on April 8.
