News.

Hey Guys,

ALOT of  Ape Escape news has emerged recently and it's time to announce it all.


Fury!
A lot of people are asking whether "Fury!" will be released in the U.S. The answer is, yes it is. When? We don't know. A lot of dates have emerged but NOTHING has been confirmed and usually a website for the game would be created a few months before the games release. So at this point it's just a guessing game.
They have updated the official website for the game in Japan, so check that out. It has new features, and also has the trailer which you can watch at your pleasure. A demo has been released in Japan for the game, and you can view the video of it here. It is not the final game, so please excuse the lack of Introduction and understanding of the story, you will wait for that in the full version. We would also like to mention that a release in PAL regions is not looking so good, however, you can import the US version, and it would work on a PAL system just fine.

Ape Escape 4
This game has been awaited by so many people and a "target release date" has been set for Japan for July 2011. However, we cannot stress enough that this does not mean the game is coming out at that time. It's just when the Development team hope the game can be released. The game is apparently only 76% complete according to the Development page. And its so far taken them 4 years to get to that stage, so unless what needs to be finished won't take long, the game probably won't be out by then. We also think that Sony would want to promote the game as much as they can at every event so I wouldn't be surprised if they waited till after The Tokyo Game Show, and others, before releasing the game.

"Dimension"
A new game has been added to the development page with the simple title of "Dimension". A concept has been published but for some reason, translator tools cannot make sense of whats been posted. We have tried translating it, but all we got back was mumbo jumbo that meant absolutely nothing. We are currently getting it translated, so we should have a concept idea for you soon. Another game has also been listed as "TBA" so we are unsure if that is the same game as the "Dimension" game also listed. Hopefully before the month is up, we shall have all the information for you.

Sales
We are really happy to see the sale figures of Ape Escape continuing to climb. The whole franchise (includes PlayStation games and Mobile games), has exceeded 80 million sales. That is based upon the fact that 67 million sales were from mobile games. So there is still heaps of business from mobile games than we first thought. Lets hope with the upcoming Fury!, we can reach 90 million before 2011 is over.

More updates soon.


Thanks to "TheSwordDancer" for giving us the link to the video of the Demo.
