News about the final version of SHINORUBI


Dear SHINORUBI Players,

We extend our sincerest apologies for the delay in updates since the final early access version. Our small yet dedicated team has been hard at work, not only in bringing SHINORUBI to consoles successfully but also in enhancing the game in ways beyond our initial plans. We're thrilled to announce that the game will soon be available at your local game retailer!

Throughout the porting process, with the invaluable support of our publisher, we've undertaken significant improvements. We've introduced compelling story modes, reimagined and refined levels, enhanced the exhilarating experience with our unique widescreen vertical scrolling shooter, revamped visuals for a more immersive journey, added localization for six languages, rewritten the game engine for optimal performance, and bolstered stability, ensuring solid frame rates and minimal latency.

Looking ahead to 2024, we anticipate releasing the Steam version slightly after the physical release due to certain exclusivity rights. Regrettably, these rights also restrict us from delivering the 'vertical' mode in the game for the Steam version.

We urge you to stay tuned for forthcoming updates and the release date. We genuinely appreciate every player who participated in the early access phase, providing us with invaluable feedback that has immensely contributed to SHINORUBI's evolution.

Warm regards,

The LastBoss88 Team
