It looks like the PlayStation 4 version of Clannad will be seeing a Western release, as Prototype has announced a late June release in America. The release will be digital-only, though gamers would feel the need can import the Japanese release, which comes with English text. Clannad PS4 release in Europe and other areas is still in the works.
If you head over to Play-Asia right now, you can pick up the game for $51.99, with an extra $3 coming off if you use the code “PSLIFE” at checkout.
For those wanting to know more about the game, here is the story synopsis, along with details on the game.
After the death of his mother, Tomoya Okazaki—a guarded delinquent student at Hikarizaka High School—struggles to not only make sense of the abusive relationship he has with his alcoholic father, but also find meaning in his life. While on his way to class one morning, he meets a mystifying girl named Nagisa. She is a delinquent like him, but only because she is repeating her senior year, unlike the perpetually tardy Okazaki. From their brief encounter, Nagisa decides they should be friends, and enlists Tomoya’s help to revive the school drama club. Not being busy in any way, he decides to join in. Along the way, the two make friends with many other students and try to find both solace and belonging in their endeavors.
