Hi everyone, First of all, we want to start by saying thank you. We know you’ve waited longer than expected for the release of Terminator 2D: NO FATE , and we truly appreciate your patience and support throughout this journey. The physical components for all editions have now finally arrived, following the ongoing delays that pushed us off our previous schedules. However, we now have to assemble the physical editions, which we need some time to do.

Hi everyone, We wanted to share an important update on the release of Terminator 2D: NO FATE . The game will now launch on November 26, 2025.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re sorry for this further delay. The team is working hard to make sure your wait is worth it, and we can’t wait to share Terminator 2D: NO FATE with you all this November. Sincerely, Reef Entertainment

Hi everyone, Terminator 2D: NO FATE will now be releasing on October 31, 2025. Coordinating and manufacturing the physical release has been a longer process than we anticipated, and as a result, we’ve had to delay the release of the game.

This delay will also give the team at Bitmap Bureau extra time to apply some final polish to the game itself and we would like all players to have the opportunity to experience the best version of T2D together. As such, this delay will apply to both physical and digital versions of the game. From the moment we announced T2D, the response has been absolutely amazing, humbling, and truly much greater than anything we could have ever expected.

In addition to a special appearance from Mr. Kondo , President of Nihon Falcom , we also hosted gaming media and content creators, giving them the chance to get a hands-on experience with gameplay and directly engage with our esteemed guest, Mr. Kondo.   Through exclusive interviews and Q&A sessions, members of the media and content creators were able to get Mr. Kondo’s thoughts about Nihon Falcom’s   vision for both The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II  and Ys X: Nordics , as well as a fascinating account of the development process for these games. After the presentations and Q&A sessions, attendees were invited to play The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II and  Ys X: Nordics  to experience them first-hand and were also given Ys X: Nordics  artbooks that they could have signed by Mr. Kondo himself!   Between Mr. Kondo’s insights and their hands-on experience with both games’ mechanics and features, attendees were able to receive a wealth of information about these amazing titles, allowing them to create in-depth coverage and content about them to inform and excite longtime fans and newcomers alike.   In addition to Mr. Kondo, we were also honoured to host Takuro Yamashita ,  President & CEO of NIS America ,   and Alan Costa ,  Game Master at NIS America . Together with NIS America, our team has distributed many Nihon Falcom titles to a variety of regions across Europe, working together with them on several games from the iconic The Legend of Heroes and Ys  series.

9 R.I.P. , developed by our partner Idea Factory International , recently launched on Nintendo Switch™!  A special Aroma Edition  is available for fans to purchase from select retailers throughout Europe, bundling the game with several merch items, including a Dark Sweet Dreams Aroma Diffuser and Acrylic Standee , both conceived by Reef Entertainment’s designer of many talents, Menglin !   9 R.I.P.  is a supernatural otome visual novel that follows Misa Isshiki, a second-year student. One night, after hearing a strange voice at Narimigahama High School, her life is turned upside-down, trapping her in the Spirit World as she investigates the urban legends that haunt the campus. In her ghostly journey, she will run into a variety of strange characters, including Minami , an incubus that haunts human dreams and shows them nightmares, leaving behind a sweet scent to his victims upon waking.   The Dark Sweet Dreams Aroma Diffuser included with the Aroma Edition is made from plaster and contains a built-in fragrance that emits a sweet, rosey scent inspired by Minami, perfect for enclosed spaces! The Acrylic Standee included with the Aroma Edition is a mirror that also serves as a gateway to the Spirit World. Upon lighting it up from behind, the mirror reveals characters from the game… spooky!   The Dark Sweet Dreams Aroma Diffuser and Acrylic Standee are the latest examples of Reef Entertainment’s foray into creating commercial otome merchandise. Through our partnership with Idea Factory International, we have distributed many otome games to fans in Europe over the years and are so proud to be able to provide the booming fanbase special items that help bring the worlds of their favourite games to life.

As we enter the back half of 2024, we at Reef Entertainment thought that it would be a good time to reflect on the amazing year so far, specifically on our work in getting the recent release of the highly anticipated entry in the long-running Legend of Heroes  series, Trails through Daybreak , to audiences throughout Europe. The story follows the spriggan Van Arkride, an underground professional that accepts work from any client and acts as a detective, negotiator or bounty hunter with no allegiance. However, when he takes on a strange case that threatens an entire nation, the course of his life changes forever. The game was developed by Nihon Falcom , a developer specialising in JRPGs that boasts an extremely enthusiastic fanbase worldwide. In partnership with NIS America , our team has distributed many Nihon Falcom titles to a variety of regions across Europe, working together with them on numerous games from the ever-popular Trails  series.   The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak released to widespread acclaim from critics and fans, with some even calling the title one of the best of the year! Keep scrolling to see what some of the reviews had to say. “A dark, more mature story, a great new cast of characters, and much improved turn-based action make Trails through Daybreak a fine addition to the franchise that’s accessible to fans and newcomers alike.” 9/10 - GameGrin   “Trails through Daybreak is easily the best looking Trails game to date and whether you are a returning fan or not you’d be doing yourself a massive disservice to pass up Trails through Daybreak.” 90% - GameHype   “Trails Through Daybreak takes the series to new heights of drama without losing any of the series’ strengths or structure, and features a fun double battle system that somehow doesn’t get in the way of itself. It’s also a viable jumping-in point that hasn’t come along in a while for those looking to dip their toe into this long-running series and finding it daunting. The dawn of a new era.” 8/10 – Finger Gun s   “This is one of the best put-together Trails games in a long time, complete with some solid cutscene choreography and a near-seamless feeling of play in between combat and cutscenes.” 8/10 – NookGaming   In addition to titles from The Legend of Heroes series, Reef have also worked together with NIS America on a variety of entries from Nihon Falcom’s incredibly popular Ys  series. The latest entry in the series, Ys X: Nordics , is set to release in the West on the 25th of October this year, being distributed to a variety of regions throughout Europe by Reef Entertainment in partnership with NIS America.   IGN  recently got their hands on Ys X: Nordics to preview the game, and their early impressions have been positive, praising the “more focused experience” and describing the combat as “smooth, quick and even a little challenging” . Check out what they had to say below!   Additionally, GameSpot  recently sat down with Toshihiro Kondo , the president of Nihon Falcom and one of the key developers behind the Ys series, who gave some insights on not only the series’ future, but the future of Nihon Falcom as well:   “We constantly want to keep an open mind and add new things to our games. We want to ask, ‘How can we make it better? What trends and what things are popular?’ These are things we always ask. And right now Ys X is the best example of that, but going forward, it's going to be an even bigger part of how we approach game development.”   Read GameSpot’s full interview with Toshihiro Kondo   here: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/whats-next-after-a-20-year-old-rpg-series-ends-ys-and-trails-director-toshihiro-kondo-talks-falcoms-future/1100-6524780/    Reef Entertainment are extremely proud to see the warm reception that titles from the long-running The Legend of Heroes and Ys  series continue to receive. We are honoured to have played such a large part in getting these titles to fans in Europe throughout the years, and are excited to see the JRPG genre continue to grow more in the future.
