The Class of Heroes 2 Kickstarter failed, but the success of the physical+digital pre-orders is a heartening sign that people still want niche titles and physical copies of PSP games.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Tokyo-based (Japan) video games publisher and developer Acquire, today announced with great delight and excitement that "Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition", is coming to PC (Steam) and consoles (PS5 and the Nintendo Switch) on April 26th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Today Acquire announced a brand new game set in the Class of Heroes world, Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent.
Class of Heroes is a 2D old school dungeon crawler that was released for the PSP in 2009 and it received mediocre reviews in the USA. In Japan the series is doing well enough to produce several sequels for it. Porting it over to the US has been an uphill battle since their Kickstarter fell short of its 500K goal.
