The highly anticipated Macross Shooting Insight, released March 14th on PS4, PS5, Switch and Steam, is coming to Europe - something we always knew thanks to the controversy surrounding the cuts of anything related to the original Macross outside of Japan as we reported back in August 2023.
However, we now know that it's being released by Red Art Games, who also handled the rather excellent Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. Special editions are mentioned, and this will sell fast, so we'll keep an ear to the ground and report back as soon as we know the details.
No news yet as to pre-orders, special editions or a release window, but we'll keep an eye on it. In the meantime, you can keep up to date on the Red Art Games website. Needless to say we'll be buying this one to support Macross.
