SINoALICE Voyages West

Japan is famous for its skill in creating role-playing video games. It's no surprise, then, that Americans have been clamoring for SINoALICE since its release in 2017. It's the brainchild of quirky developer and director Yoko Taro, known for his roles in both the Nier and Drakengard series.

Although it released in Japan in 2017 to critical acclaim, SINoALICE met with some trouble in its journey westward. Square Enix originally handed off international development to the South-Korean/Japanese company Nexon. However, Nexon struggled to get it off the ground and delayed the game's release indefinitely.

Since then, Pokelabo stepped in. The team reworked SINoALICE from the ground up, creating an experience friendly for the international community. It finally launched July 1 worldwide.
