You know, you have to hand it to Marvelous AQL and the localization team at XSEED, they know precisely what sort of game Senran Kagura is, and who it appeals to.

In case you missed it earlier, Senran Kagura’s surprise announcement that it would be coming to Steam, along with the Western releases on PlayStation 4 and Vita brought a tear to the eye of content watchdogs everywhere, while fans of the series applauded the start of a new chapter for their favorite, uh, “titillating action brawler.”

Despite seeming like dumb, raunchy action, which it owns, Senran Kagura has always been a series that aims for fun, at its heart. With the inclusion of DLC previously unavailable to Westerners, Senran Kagura is looking to leave a lasting impression on PC gamers, and not just necessarily in a lewd way.

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus can be procured from Steam for a tidy sum of $35.99 USD, set to return to a retail price of $39.99 USD on March 24th.


Official Press Release

Tunbridge Wells, Kent – 17th March, 2017 — Marvelous Europe today announced that SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS, the latest iteration and first home console release in its beloved busty brawler series, is now available for purchase on Windows PC via Steam®. To celebrate the occasion, the game is being offered at 10% off its regular list price of £29.99, and €39.99 for the first week after launch (other international pricing may vary). Furthermore, most DLC on PC will be offered at 33% off during the first week, while the ‘Dual Blooming Hearts’ PC DLC containing extra mission packs and the ‘Shinobi Pack’ PC bundle consisting of 7 additional costumes and 9 accessories will both be free during that special promotion period.

Ikki Tousen characters Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Guan Yu will finally become playable characters as premium DLC across all of the game’s platforms, which include the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, and Windows PC versions. Each character is priced at, £3.29 and €3.99 on PlayStation platforms, while a bundle containing all three is offered for £7.89 and €8.99 on PlayStation and Steam. The addition of the three battle vixens is sure to spice things up near the one-year anniversary of the game’s home console debut.

In SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS, a mystical phenomenon transports the nubile ninjas of the titular series to a parallel dimension to face off against their rivals in a new kind of battle. In this strange world – which resembles a sunny, sandy island paradise – the girls are thrown for another loop as they encounter departed loved ones and ultimately have to decide if they can bear to part from them a second time. The Windows PC version of ESTIVAL VERSUS follows successful Steam® releases of previous entries in the SENRAN KAGURA series, including SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS and SENRAN KAGURA Bon Appétit! – Full Course.

With over twenty-five playable characters, making this the biggest roster in the series’ history, SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS boasts more moves, more story, more attitude, and more destruction online with matches that can support up to 10 players (Windows PC and PS4™ system versions only; “PSVita” system supports up to 4 players). All of the series’ previous Shinobi girls return with a host of upgraded moves to master, and new playable characters offer more challenges to conquer, along with a story that’s equal parts sexy and shocking, serious and scandalous, busty and bouncy.

The faithful adaptation to PC has been handled by the original developers at Marvelous Inc. and Tamsoft, with added Steamworks support including Steam Achievements, leaderboards, cloud saves, and trading cards. SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS launches on March 17 for Windows PC via Steam® for £29.99 and €39.99 with a 10% launch week discount. The title is currently available as a limited “Endless Summer” physical release for the PS4™ and “PSVita” systems, while the digital release of the game is available on both platforms via the PlayStation®Store. The Windows PC version of this title is not rated by PEGI, USK or OFLC. The PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita system versions have been rated 16, 16, and R18+ respectively.
