Coming-of-Age RPG Loop8: Summer of Gods Available Now on Switch

Welcome to Ashihara, where August repeats eternally… XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that Loop8: Summer of Gods is now available for Switch. The narrative-driven, coming-of-age RPG is available as a standard physical and digital edition and in a limited physical ‘Celestial Edition’ on console.

Loop8: Summer of Gods follows protagonist Nini and his classmates as they try to defeat the Kegai, demonic entities who have forced humanity to the brink of extinction. Raised on a failed space station known as “Hope,” Nini returns to Earth to spend his summer in Ashihara, one of humanity’s last remaining sanctuaries. Gifted with “Demon Sight,” Nini can use his special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing him and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right…or the Kegai overwhelm them entirely.

Choices That Can Change the World— Loop8’s emotion-driven AI system responds to every action you take and decision you make. Characters’ emotions and stories will vary greatly based on your choices, making each playthrough wholly unique.

A Beautiful Seaside Town Brimming with Mystery— A nostalgic and beautifully recreated snapshot of rural Japan circa 1983, Ashihara is home to a colorful cast of characters, each harboring their own secrets to uncover. Will your choices make them trusted allies…or mortal enemies?

Live an Ordinary Life, Fight Extraordinary Enemies— Build bonds with Ashihara’s residents while protecting the town from the ever-present threat of the Kegai, repeating the cycle to uncover how your everyday actions impact your battles in the Underworld, and vice versa.

Relive the Past to Alter the Future— Though the deadline for humanity’s extinction draws ever closer, Ashihara’s fate remains in your hands. Repeatedly return to the start of August, alter your actions, and see how they turn the tides of destiny across multiple endings.

Additionally, the ‘Sporty Mix’ DLC, featuring a new outfit for Machina, will be available as a free download on all platforms for one week after launch.
