The 25th Ward: The Silver Case Headed to North America and Europe in 2018

Santa Ana, CA (September 21, 2017) – NIS America announced at Tokyo Game Show 2017 their partnership with GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE INC. and Active Gaming Media to bring The 25th Ward: The Silver Case to the PlayStation®4 and Steam® in 2018. A limited edition version of the game will be available at a later date on the NISA Online Store, NISA European Online Store, and participating retailers.

Available for the first time outside Japan, The 25th Ward: The Silver Case is presented with completely rebuilt HD assets and additional content not found in the original version.

About the game:

It is been five years since the events of 1999's “The Silver Case,” set in the new 25th Ward that arose in the bayside area of Kanto. In a room of the “Bayside Tower Land” apartment complex, a woman is found murdered under mysterious circumstances. This sets off a series of seemingly random events bridging across multiple protagonists including The Silver Case's Tokio Morishima. With all viewpoints assembled, a truly shocking pattern emerges…

Key Features:

A SUDA51 Trip - Set in the “Kill the Past” universe, the series continues its bleak look into a semi-futuristic world on the edge of collapse and the misfits and antiheroes that inhabit it.

Brave New World - The return of the signature “Film Window” system is brought to The 25th Ward for the first time! New visuals, sounds, and controls capture the game in a fresh perspective.

One Story, Many Sides – Explore this dark take on Tokyo from three different perspectives, “Correctness,” “Placebo,” and “Matchmaker.”
