This is likely going to be another 50 hour colossus, judging by the staff. That's a much more difficult game to do a simultaneous translation on than a short title like Harmonia. I would assume that a translation will come much later.

None of the big older titles such as Rewrite+, Little Busters Perfect Edition, Angel Beat 1st beat have even been released yet either.

With Yuu writing the scenario Key could finally make a nakige that make people sad(or at least a good nakige).

YUU AND KAI MY END IS NEAR

[Okarin]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

If I had to bet, I'd say that the white-haired girl in the teaser isn't Tenshi. Unless she escaped to some summerside town with Otonashi. But we already know those two are lovebirds, it would be a pointless story (¿?).

After my buying Clannad, there's just no turning back. I'll eagerly follow it.

Looks like it has potential. I'll get it if it definitely becomes available in English.

Too bad 2025 is such a long way off.

Aww... By the time I do get the chance to read it, I'll be ten years older and in my thirties.

I feel ya, in ten years I'm going to be approaching my thirties.... life sucks

[Okarin]

In truth, a single pic isn't anything to go by. We don't even know if it's a pure nakige, or some "midtempo" work like Key's latter ones (Angel Beats, Charlotte).

But, if you like Key's games, it's certainly good news.

Why not utsuge, though? Key has been making nakige based on the same exact, rehashed formula for years. It's time to finally move on.

Also, implicit sequels from Key are the last thing we need

[Yuuko]

I know exactly where this game is going with Yuu and Kai though

I don't.

Some Key routes were utsuge enough, like Haruka Saigusa, but ended on a happy note.

That's not utsuge, mate.

[Okarin]

It's not utsuge, but if pursued further and removing the happy notes, it can be.

This will be glorious.
Of course, I don't mean the game itself. I mean the reactions of the Keyfags when they read it.

A reminder that though Yuu will be writing the original concept is from Maeda and Na-Ga will be one of the artists(hopefully not the principal).

Okay guys, who is Nijima Yuu and why are your reactions so...intense about him?

He's a somewhat famous writer, but his two biggest works are known for having endings that pissed people off (his more recent one especially).

Couldn't have said it better

[Vorathiel]

Can you vaguely spoil what was so angering in those ending? And titles? Majo Koi Nikki, HatsuSaku?

He make ends that don't have the traditional "And they lived happily ever after", like in Hatsusaku that 

Spoiler

In the true route the heroine sacrifice himself to save the mc from vanishing

So mostly people are pissed because all the happy moments that they live with the heroine ends in a bitter note, but i like that to break the perfect world of happiness of vn universe, i really like the end of Nagisa for exemple.
