The physical versions of popular indie RPG Omori have been canceled in Europe for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 due to multilingual localization issues. Spanish game publisher Meridiem Games shared the news in an X post, which can be seen below:
Translated via Google Translate, it reads:
“We regret to announce that the development team has canceled the physical editions of Omori for PS4 and Switch due to technical issues related to the multilingual European localization. This news saddens us as much as it does you.”
Omori has garnered a dedicated fan base since its original release for PC in 2020 due to its unconventional gameplay elements and evocative themes. It’s often been favorably compared to the SNES classic Earthbound, and its Switch / PS4 release in 2022 opened it up to a console audience, but it looks like, unfortunately, fans of the game clinging to the European physical will have to accept the news or settle for the North American physical.
