Agarest: Generations of War coming to Steam on 3rd October

Hi everyone. After many months of hard work we’re finally ready to release Agarest: Generations of War on PC. One of the first JRPGs to be ported to PC for the west will hit the Steam store on the 3^rd October, priced at just $19.99/£14.99/€17.99. Anyone pre-ordering the game will benefit from a generous 20% discount and a selection of free DLC items, making a total saving of well over $10.00, so well worth getting in early :)  You can pre-order Agarest: Generations of War here.

Agarest: Generations of War is the first part of Idea Factory and Compile Heart’s classic console JRPG series. AGoW made it through Steam’s Greenlight process in just two weeks: an indicator of the huge demand for JRPGs on the platform, which is something we’re thrilled to be able to provide.

A massive thank you once again to all of you who supported us during that campaign, either by voting for us or helping to spread the word.  It feels like I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but we really couldn’t have done it without all of your support :)

I’d also like to say thank you to the team over at Laughing Jackal who have done so much more than a straight forward port, and to the army of Beta testers who put the game through its rigours and found some interesting issues.

For the PC version of Agarest: Generations Of War, the clever chaps at Laughing Jackal have added full mouse and keyboard support, maintained full gamepad support, added Steam achievements, taken advantage of the higher resolutions that PCs can offer and made a number of other user interface changes to ensure that PC gamers receive the best gaming experience possible.  In my opinion this will be without a doubt the best version of Agarest available.

Pre-orders on Steam will go live on Monday the 16^th September (that’s tonight! :) ) Not only will anyone who pre-orders the game receive the mighty 20% discount, but they will also receive the following DLC items absolutely free and available for use in-game at launch:

• Upgrade Pack 1 (usual price $0.99 / €0.79 / £0.69)
• Upgrade Pack 2 (usual price $0.99 / €0.79 / £0.69)
• Dull-Things Pack (usual price $1.49 / €1.19 / £0.99)
• Fallen-Angel Pack (usual price $1.49 / €1.19 / £0.99)
• Magic-Fighter Pack (usual price $0.99 / €0.79 / £0.69)
• Legendary-Monster Pack (usual price $1.99 / €1.59 / £1.29)
• Basic Adventure Pack (usual price $1.49 / €1.19 / £0.99)

There will be a huge selection of DLC made available over the weeks following release of the title, but initially when the game goes live on October 3^rd, there will be a first selection of DLC items which will be:

• Basic Pack (Free)
• Upgrade Pack 1 ($0.99)
