JaxTH Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) http://www.siliconera.com/2012/01/04/phantom-breaker-5pbs-gals-fighting-game-is-coming-here-but-not-from-southpeak/ We may already have this year’s surprise localization. Phantom Breaker, 5pb’s (mostly) gals fighting game for Xbox 360, will be released in North America. The game centers around a Tokyo fighting tournament where the winner will get their wish granted. Oh, and Phantom Breaker has guests from Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head Noah. Kurisu Makise and Rimi Sakihata are playable characters. 5pb released Phantom Breaker for Xbox 360 in June 2011 and a company (that also with a number for the first “letter” in their name) is bringing the game overseas. Introducing 7Sixty, an Austin based publisher that released Stronghold 3 and have Phantom Breaker slated for release in North America later this year. The game is also getting a Limited Edition as seen here: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/01/04/exclusive-phantom-breaker-to-get-special-limited-edition-release/ The official English website is here: http://phantombreaker.7sixty.com/ Edited January 4, 2012 by JaxTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BThumme Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Amazon now list the release date for the game for Feb. 28. Does anyone know if Feb. 28 is a placeholder date or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxTH Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Does anyone know if Feb. 28 is a placeholder date or not? It's not a placeholder date as far as I know. The date used to be January 31st for it coming out but that was updated to Feb. 28th in the middle of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldiercloud9 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Gamefly says it's available Feb. 28 as well so I would say the odds of it being a placeholder date is quite small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stray Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Which means that would be the actual date, even though 7sixty really never wrote or set an official release date anyway. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kairi Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Which means that would be the actual date, even though 7sixty really never wrote or set an official release date anyway. But we'll see. I'm not sure if that is the actual date. I've seen February 28, March 6, and some date in June as well for possible release dates. 7sixty just says "Early 2012" so we can safely assume that it will be in the spring some time and hopefully they will announce an official date soon!

The Stray Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) If the release of Early 2012 would make any sense, it would be around Jan, or Feb., not Mar. or later months, also, if any of those dates will be prior 7sixty would have announced it. So it could be any of those dates if and when necessary. Other than that, from what I've read here, it seems PB's NA port won't be cross compatible with the JP port (Kinda like DeathSmiles and Otomedius X for online matchmaking), so that probably means a separate 1000:gsicon: in English. http://www.siliconera.com/2012/02/06/phantom-breaker-1-02-update-adds-balance-tweaks-spectator-rooms/ Edited February 13, 2012 by The Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fine by me. I also assume NA is automatically 1.02 otherwise I don't see the point of 5pb making a patch close the the release of the NA version.

Soldiercloud9 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Got an update gamefly has it slated for 3/27/12 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxTH Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well...The game has a rating now (Rated T) and with seven more days ago Amazon still says the game is coming on the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxTH Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 The game is now coming out on March 20th apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stray Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Yep, hoping it doesn't delay alot like Otomedius X did, but not really, well at least I can finish other games instead...But seriously, if and when 7sixty confirms an official release date, then that will be the day it comes out.

Kairi Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I just saw this on Gamestop's site, and apparently it may be coming out April 10th now. I hope 7sixty say what the release date is soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stray Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 phantom breaker(NA) Mar. 6 (Sale schedule) http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/info/20120206.html 3月6日に北米で発売予定の海外版『ファントムブレイカー』 In the official site of JP, it is written like this. Yeah, even though its from 5PB themselves, I wouldn't quote on that, since it just might be the update for the game or something like that anyway, also, the English achievement list just did come out the same day, but its just a mere coincidence really, but not a proper date. More awesome regarding this upcoming fighter! Dated for march 20 and it appears that it's getting an update from it's original jpn release. Mark your calanders http://www.webcam-steamate.com/cookies/38/b/happy.gif But don't quote yourself on that, you never know if and when it gets released with an actual solid date.

Kairi Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just saw today that the Phantom Breaker page on Facebook says that this should come out late April. Good to know it's coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stray Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Same here, just a couple of tweaks they mention there of course that needs fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airman Rufio Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Damn, Amazon had it listed as coming out today. I guess...April...darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamayamayaamaa Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure the game has already been printed. Just send it out already! I've had it pre-ordered since October lol... Amazon email: Hello, We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on October 27, 2011 (Order# XXXXXX). The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date: "Phantom Breaker - Special Edition" Release date: April 10, 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stray Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We'll we know technically the game is already complete in English, but like I mentioned, before they have to ship it, they have to make sure its bug free, or something like that, to make it balanced, but I know you might say its an excuse to wait, technically, to me, I'm in no rush to get it, its kind of the same way like what happened to Otomedius Excellent back then.

JaxTH Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'd like to assume they didn't have the Japanese update that just came out and are making that the default for American copies so no patches are needed. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stray Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Pretty much, I even saw streams of the Eng. Ver. with 1.02 already on disc, so we'll see until then. Update: It seems certain sites have them listed for 4/10, while Gamestop and even the xbox.com page for this game has it for 4/24, uggh, its gonna be like Otomedius Excellent again with the delays and such...
