YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World Coming To Switch and PS4
We love a good, long video game title, and so we joyously balked at the new that YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World is coming both physically and digitally for PlayStation 4 and Switch, and for PC via Steam on October 1st in North America.
All of these versions will cost $49.99, according to Spike Chunsoft. It will feature Japanese audio with English text. Also, if you pick up the physical editions, the following launch edition bonuses will be available:
- – PlayStation 4 – A mini cloth poster featuring Eriko Takeda, the mysterious school nurse at Sakaimachi Academy.
- – Switch – A download code for 8-Bit YU-NO’s Great Adventure. Experience an action game set in classic 8-bit style featuring the characters from YU-NO!
Additionally, the NIS America Store will sell an $89.99 limited edition (PS4, Switch) that includes a copy of the game, hardcover art book, original soundtrack, pillow case, and collector’s box.
In a recent blog post, Spike Chunsoft detailed the following content changes made to the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions of the game “in order to secure a release in the west on consoles”:
- – Sala Oasis Scene – A sunbeam is placed over Sala’s naked lower body.
- – Symbols – Some cursor interaction symbols have been replaced with the “investigation” symbol. The story content and gameplay remains the same; only the cursor symbol itself has been replaced.
These content changes will not apply to the PC version, which will contain identical content to the Japanese release.
Story Details:
Your Love Awaits Beyond This World.

Key Game Features:
