Ib will not only have a physical release in Japan, but developer Playism is also working on something special for the game’s devoted followers.
A regular edition that will contain a copy of the game, the gray box, and the art book is now in the works. Those who are seeking for something that is just a little bit more unique have the option of purchasing the limited edition, which comes with an embroidered handkerchief in addition to everything else.
The fact that English will be supported throughout both versions of the physical editions is perhaps the greatest news about this situation. The game may be imported by players from any area, and it can be played through in the same manner as any other Switch game.
