JAST USA quests for larger audience with Aselia
November 15th, 2011, by in Release, Translation
A few days ago, JAST USA released the all-ages (15+) version of XUSE’s Aselia the Eternal, including a DRM-free download version as well. This is the first time the company has released a game without adult content, and JAST USA have suggested that other all-ages titles may be licensed in the future if Aselia performs well commercially. Upon our asking, JAST USA stated that “it’s selling quite well so far.”
When asked what the game’s target audience is, the company said they “are going to do [their] best to market it anywhere [they] can”, and are hoping that retailers who normally refuse to stock adult games will pick up interest in this title. Interestingly, they also noted that they have submitted Aselia to online game marketplace Steam, although it is currently uncertain whether the game will be accepted. -
