If you click through the link to the official website, which has the launch dates and times for the PC version, it also reveals that the PC and PS4 versions of the game will not support cross-play compatibility. It clearly states…
“[…] In the Steam version, you cannot play against users who play on PS4.”
I don’t think that matters much because the first thing that PC gamers are going to do is look to modders to create sexy-time mods right out of the gate, and we’ll be right there with links for the downloads once they become available.
Additionally, Final Weapon picked up on the news that ahead of the PC version’s launch Cygames will release Narmaya on March 3rd, 2020, alongside the launch of the PS4 version’s Western release.
Narmaya uses a single sword with quick-slashing combos and transitions from neutral to low and back to neutral again at the blink of an eye. She reminds me of a cross between Ky and Johnny from Guilty Gear.
They don’t say if she will be included in the PC version at launch, but since they show the Steam logo at the end of the trailer I’m pretty sure they will make all the currently available DLC available at launch for PC gamers come March 13th.
