Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Ghostlight blog. Many of you have been asking me to give you some advance warning of when the Elminage pre-orders are due. So you can snag one of only 300 of these awesome bundles.
Well I’m happy to tell you that we’re expecting pre-orders for Elminage to open next Thursday afternoon when we will also be able to announce the price and release date for this excellent dungeon crawler. We’ll be issuing reminders through our Facebook and Twitter pages so feel free to keep an eye on them if you think that would be handy :).
The other thing you’ve all been asking about is how the Devil Survivor 2 pre-orders are going. Well I do now have numbers for you and I can report that we have had 627 pre-orders so far. As terrific as the response has been, and we thank you enormously for your support, we know that there are still a number of you out there that would like to join this very select group. We would like to remind everyone that the pre-order for DS2 and the DS2/DSO double pack are only open for another two weeks. The closing date is set for 30th August 2013.
Devil Survivor 2 is available in two packages:
Standalone Release
Devil Survivor 2 (DS)
This special edition will be factory sealed and include an exclusive A4 folded poster featuring the cover art. Anyone pre-ordering the game will have the option to include their name in the manual and also as a bonus, pre-ordered units will feature a special gold coloured Devil Survivor logo on the inlay.
Pre-Order price £24.99/€29.99
The game will be available to all PAL territories.
Devil Survivor Bundle
Devil Survivor 2 (DS) & Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS) with a £10.00 discount!
Both games will be factory sealed and as with Option 1, anyone pre-ordering the bundle will have the option to include their name in the DS2 manual.
Pre-Order price £49.98/€59.98 (usual price £59.98/€69.98)
Regrettably, we will not be able to ship this bundle to Germany due to an existing distribution agreement.
(All prices exclude P&P.)
Remember, pre-orders will close on Friday 30th August, by which time we hope to have reached our target of 1,800 units ordered of Devil Survivor 2 between these two offers. If we hit our target, then we’re expecting the game to be released by the end of September. However, should we not meet this quota then everyone who ordered Devil Survivor 2 will receive a full refund, while those who ordered the double pack will have the option to receive Devil Survivor Overclocked with the £10.00 discount.
That’s all for now, but if you haven’t already done so, you can pre-order Devil Survivor 2 here or the DS2/DSO double pack from here.
I’ll be back next week, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight? You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.

Hi everyone. Thank you all so much for your amazing support for the Devil Survivor 2 pre-order campaign so far. We’ve made a solid start but after just under a week since the pre-orders went live, I can tell you that we’re still a fair way from reaching our target of 1800 pre-orders. I hope to have exact figures for you shortly, but in the meantime please keep helping us spread the word to all those JRPG fans out there.
You may have noticed that our website was struggling last week under the extra traffic created by the DS2 campaign, so you’ll be pleased to hear that our IT chief has arranged a much needed upgrade to our website’s capacity (thanks Ben!) This should mean that if you’ve been trying to pre-order Devil Survivor 2 over the last week and weren’t able to, then now’s a great time to try again :)
Our designers have created a mock-up image of the Gold Edition pack that we’re offering for Devil Survivor 2. Check out this picture to see what the poster and alternative gold coloured logo will look like. Obviously we aren’t able to show you your name in the manual (yet), so you’ll just have to imagine that part :)
You can pick up this great edition of the game and get your name in the manual for just £24.99/€29.99 from here. Alternatively, if you want to save £10 on Devil Survivor Overclocked at the same time, you can buy it with the above package for just £49.98/€59.98 (usual price £59.98/€69.98) from here.
Remember, pre-orders will close on Friday 30th August, by which time we hope to have reached our target. If we hit the required 1800 units, then we’re expecting Devil Survivor 2 to be released by the end of September. However, should we not meet this quota then everyone who ordered Devil Survivor 2 will receive a full refund, while those who ordered the double pack will have the option to receive Devil Survivor Overclocked with the £10.00 discount. (Sorry to keep repeating this info, but we want everyone to be clear on everything.)
In other news, our thrilling 3DS action-driving game Crash City Mayhem (created by the lovely folk over at Rocket Company in Japan) is now on sale on the 3DS eShop. The price has been reduced by a massive 50% from £17.99 down to just £8.99! The sale will run from August 8th until August 22nd so make sure you grab the game at this amazing price while you have the chance.
Lastly, I have some Agarest news for you all. Thanks to the hard work of the guys at Laughing Jackal along with our intrepid band of beta testers, we are now fast approaching our first Agarest: Generation of War PC master candidate. We’ve been busy squashing the last few remaining bugs as well as integrating the DLC, so this means that while we’re not quite there yet, we’re not too far off being able to announce a release date.
That’s all for now, but if you haven’t already done so you can pre-order Devil Survivor 2 here, or here if you want to pick up Devil Survivor Overclocked too. I’ll be back next week, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight?

Hi everyone. First off, I just wanted to thank you all for your support and comments this past week. We value all of your opinions and whilst we of course appreciate your positive support, we also understand and share your frustrations regarding the difficulties we’ve faced in releasing Devil Survivor 2 in the PAL region. Well, the moment of truth has arrived and pre-orders for the title are now live. As I said last week, we’re making DS2 available across two deals and we hope that you’re ready to help us reach our minimum order quantity in order to release this excellent SRPG. We’ll have some images of what we’re loosely referring to as the “Gold Edition” of DS2 very soon, but in the meantime, here are the (slightly updated) details :):
Standalone Release
Devil Survivor 2 (DS)
This special edition will be factory sealed and include an exclusive A4 folded poster featuring the cover art. Anyone pre-ordering the game will have the option to include their name in the manual and also as a bonus, pre-ordered units will feature a special gold coloured Devil Survivor logo on the inlay.
Pre-Order price £24.99/€29.99
The game will be available to all PAL territories.
Devil Survivor Bundle
Devil Survivor 2 (DS) & Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS) with a £10.00 discount!
You'll receive Devil Survivor 2 as above and both games will be factory sealed. As with Option 1, anyone pre-ordering the bundle will have the option to include their name in the DS2 manual.
Pre-Order price £49.98/€59.98 (usual price £59.98/€69.98)
Regrettably, we will not be able to ship this bundle to Germany due to an existing distribution agreement.
(All prices exclude P&P.)
Pre-orders will close on Friday the 30th August, by which time we hope to have reached our target of 1,800 units ordered of Devil Survivor 2 between these two offers. If we hit our target, then we’re expecting the game to be released by the end of September. However, should we not meet this quota, then everyone who ordered Devil Survivor 2 will receive a full refund while those who ordered the double pack will have the option to receive Devil Survivor Overclocked with the £10.00 discount.
Before I go, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve seen the proof copy for the Elminage Original art book, or to be more precise, the Bestivarum Vocabulum and I have to say that it looks brilliant. Just a reminder that pre-orders for this incredibly Limited Edition of Elminage Original will be available very soon so keep your eyes peeled. While I’m on the subject, the image I posted last week featuring all the goodies in the Limited Edition was only a mock up of the contents and is not actually drawn to scale.
That’s all for now, but if you haven’t already done so you can pre-order Devil Survivor 2 here, or here if you want to pick up Devil Survivor Overclocked too. I’ll be back next week, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight?
