Easier format then at Steam - reposting this here;
steamcommunity.com/games/358750/announcements/detail/935995434265989385
Announcement is as follows;
Love in Space is excited to announce Sunrider Liberation Day: [RE]turn, the FREE DLC story expansion to Sunrider Liberation Day.
Kayto Shields returns for his next adventure in the Sunrider universe. Experience the story of Liberation Day in a completely different way when Shields wakes up 72 hours before the ending of Liberation Day, somehow fully aware of who will betray him… and finds that he must stop another Kayto Shields from repeating history.
But under what mysterious circumstances was he sent back to the past? Will he be able to race against time and change the bleak future? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?
FEATURES
The DLC adds the [RE]turn afterstory arc after you have completed the main story of Liberation Day
Take control of Kayto Shields in this desperate race against time, where every decision means the difference between life and death
Build your relationship with Asaga, Ava, Claude, Icari, or Sola to change history.
Multi-route, highly replayable scenario with multiple endings
Story only addon, double the length as the Liberation Day story script
Thrilling suspense story where death is always around the corner
FAQ
Q: Will I need to download a new decensor patch
A: Yes, we will post a new free decensor patch once the DLC is released
Q: Is [RE]turn canon
A: There are multiple story paths in [RE]turn as well as different endings, so there is no “canon” outcome
Q: What happened to Kryska
A: You can’t go out with Kryska in the DLC, but she’ll help out in Icari’s path
Q: Will [RE]turn be voiced
A: The new story content will not be voiced.
Q: When will the DLC be released?
A: Maybe in a month, but basically as long as it takes to finish it.
I am both excited and worried at the same time. Is this an elseworld story in a different universe... is this something that plays parallel to what happened in LibDay without changing it's events... or is it a complete rewrite of everything that happened before? I know I've advocated adding or altering LibDay's story in the past, but this feels almost like a giant retcon-bomb, which can backfire if not done right, and V2.00's existence helped make things seem much less "bleak" then before. Also worries me in that it looks like the reverse issue LibDay had is happening - focus on story over battles instead of trying to find the balance the old games had.
Still, I hope this announcement isn't some belated April Fools prank - either way, that'd be cruel
Or maybe I'm just an eternal cynic. Regardless, I'm reposting it here for ease-of-access for anyone who's not seen the Steam announcement. Debate away on what this means for Sunrider!
