Releasing in Japan later this month for Android & iOS devices, NieR Re[in]carnation has had a notable lack of updates regarding the highly anticipated English version of the game. While there’s still no word on an official release date, it’s been revealed that the developer will continue to iron out the bugs following the Japanese release in order to launch the English version in “tip-top shape.”

NieR Re[in]carnation director Daichi Matsukawa took to social media to release a development status update regarding the English version of the game. Matsukawa kicks things off by apologizing for the lack of updates thus far, and promises to keep the fan base in the loop once pre-registration and launch dates are secured.
