Today, during the Muv-Luv Expo livestream, Anchor announced a release window for the Steam release in English of the previously-announced Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After.
The release will include parts from 00 to 03 which have published so far in Japan, and it’ll come to Steam in 2020.
You can check out a trailer at the bottom of the post.
Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After is quite interesting as it’s a direct sequel to Muv-Luv Unlimited. It branches off the main trilogy in a much darker way. Yes. if you’re wondering, it’s even darker than Alternative in some of its aspects.
It was originally released in Japan as part of the Chronicles disks between 2010 and 2013, with part 04 still coming at some point down the line. It will be released roughly at the same time in the west as in Japan.
On top of that, in order to celebrate the announcement, creator Kouki Yoshimune shared a few never-seen-before image boards of Episode 04, which you can enjoy below. Incidentally, they include the very first look at the F-35 TSF.
The rest of the Chronicles disks has already been localized with Muv-Luv Photonflowers or will soon with Photonmelodies.
During the same event, we saw new gameplay of the new Muv-Luv action game Project Mikhail, Muv-Luv Photonmelodies got a new release window, and the Muv-Luv Alternative manga was also announced coming digitally in English.
