Publisher Ysbryd Games and developer Sukeban Games announced today that a sequel to 2016’s VA11 Hall-A will be making its way to the PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2020.
The sequel, titled N1RV Ann-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action, will launch in both English and Chinese when it releases in 2020. Not much more is known about the game, but Ysbryd Games did release an overview of what players can expect.
“Escape from VA11 Hall-A’s Glitch City to Saint Alicia, an idyllic paradise with an upscale bar called N1RV Ann-A. But opulence and extravagance are merely smokescreens: the artificial island hides a seedy underbelly. Its dystopian economy touches all aspects of life as bar patrons contend with mafia extortion, trafficking and other sordid crimes.
For bartender Sam, trouble hits close to home. Her relationship with her partner Leon, who moonlights as a Yakuza, is on the rocks, and she works hard to care for their 8-year-old son, Tony.
In N1RV Ann-A’s cyberpunk world, people stop at nothing to live luxuriously, even when it means augmenting their bodies to conform to extreme fads. Become acquainted with customers who frequent the bar, including erotic comic creator Parka and Sam’s gun-toting boss Iris, and serve up delicious real-life recipes with ingredients like vodka and tropical juices. Drink orders are as volatile as emotions in N1RV Ann-A – experiment with different drinks and see what happens!
Explore various story outcomes based on which drinks are served and whose lives are changed. Players can replay missions to improve their scores, explore branching dialogue options and unlock secret missions. Earn better tips by relating to customers through their drinks, and spend hard-earned cash on bills, decorations and Sam’s son, Tony. Will Sam be able to move on and put misdeeds behind her as she embarks on this new cyberpunk bartending adventure?”
A reveal trailer was also released for the game.
