Level-5 has
announced that its
ROID digital distribution service will launch in Japan on June 1, two months later than originally announced at TGS. The service's mobile game distribution service will be available first, with the PC-based service following soon after.
A
Famitsu article about the service reveals one shockingly familiar-looking game. There's no information about
what it actually is, but, as the caption asks, "could it be
that RPG?" There's very little actual chance of it being
Earthbound, but it is possible that Level-5 lured creator Shigesato Itoi into creating an unofficial sequel. Level-5 is
full of surprises!
