Last year SPIKE CHUNSOFT announced that it would release ROBOTICS; NOTES ELITE and ROBOTICS;NOTES DASH onto the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in the West and more recently the studio announced its North American release plans in the form of a ‘double pack’ collection. Well today Numskull Games, who have worked in the past with SPIKE CHUNSOFT on titles such as CRYSTAR and AI: The Somnium Files, have announced that this ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE & DASH Double Pack will also be released in Europe as both a physical and digital release.
Specifically this release of the games will be available on the 16th October 2020 and, while available, the first print Day One Edition of the game will contain a set of exclusive pin badges; of which feature artwork from different characters in the game.
ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE is, much like STEINS;GATE ELITE, is a retelling of the original visual novel but using sequences from the animated series while ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH is another visual novel and acts a side-story and expansive to that of the original game. A breakdown of each can be found below:
ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE: In ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE, play as Kaito Yashio, one of the last two members of Central Tanegashima High’s Robot Research Club. He kicks back and relaxes as his counterpart, the reckless club leader Akiho Senomiya, strives to complete their giant robot in order to keep the club from being disbanded. But Kaito’s days of relaxation end with the discovery of the mysterious Kimijima Report. It contains instructions involving locations all across the island—and warns of a conspiracy targeting the entire world.
ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH: In ROBOTICS;NOTES DaSH, the island of Tanegashima is preparing for the Summer Festival. Through Nae Tennouji, an acquaintance from JAXA, Kaito Yashio is introduced to Itaru Hashida from the STEINS;GATE series. Itaru claims to be taking a tour of the island, but as time goes on, he starts acting rather strangely… Meanwhile, unsettling incidents begin to occur all around them; harbingers of an event that will again plunge the world into chaos.
Retailer listings are expected to appear in the coming months but what was originally expected to be two separate releases now arrives as a single physical package, and some collectable items as well. ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE & DASH Double Pack will be available from the 16th October 2020 within Europe via Numskull Games and 13th October 2020 within North America via SPIKE CHUNSOFT for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
