For the first time ever, TYPE-MOON’s fan-favorite visual novel, WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT, is coming to English-speaking audiences! Since the overwhelming success of Fate/Grand Order (released in America in 2017), interest in TYPE-MOON’s unique approach to storytelling and the visual novel format has skyrocketed, creating a tremendous demand for the works of TYPE-MOON’s most famous creative mind, Kinoko Nasu (Fate/stay night, Tsukihime, Fate/Grand Order). Now, in answer to that incredible demand from fans of TYPE-MOON properties, fan-favorite visual novel WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT will receive a fully voiced remaster on both Nintendo Switch™ and PlayStation® 4, coming soon worldwide this winter.

Furthermore, Aniplex of America is very pleased to announce that in addition to the digital release of WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT in December, we will be releasing a physical limited edition which will be available shortly after in January. Preorder information will be released soon.
