Hi everyone. I’m very sorry to have to inform you that Agarest: Generations of War 2 has not yet arrived from the manufacturers and as such will have to suffer further delay.
We realise that these repeated delays - particularly at this late stage - are unacceptable and that many of you will be angry and frustrated. While the circumstances behind this delay are beyond our control we perhaps should have built in more contingency when setting our release date to account for things of this nature. We were simply trying to make sure that you would be sent Agarest 2 as soon as we received it. However, this has only added to your inconvenience and frustration, for which I can only apologise.
Part of the issue with this delay is that we can only work with the information we are given by the manufacturers, and we ourselves are finding this situation extremely frustrating. We are chasing the manufacturers for more details and a release date which we will share with you the moment we get them. Hopefully this will be VERY early next week.
By way of an apology, we will be extending our offer of a rare promotional disc copy of Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, along with the exclusive official soundtrack to the sequel, which is usually only available as part of the Collector’s Edition to anyone who has ordered Agarest: Generations of War 2 through us.
If you have any queries about your order please contact us here and we will do all we can to help you.
Sorry to have to disappoint you all again.

Hi everyone. I’m pleased to report that the awesome Agarest: Generations of War Zero has now been approved for release on PSN. So anyone who fancies downloading this fantastic game straight to their hard drive should keep their eyes peeled as we will be announcing a release date in the coming weeks.
I can also tell you that the issue with the Fate/EXTRA metadata has now been resolved, meaning that this fabulous game should now be available on more of the mainland European PSN Stores that it was missing from. If there are any problems with this please let us know.
We have also now received more information on the issue which is delaying the release of the Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga games. Currently both games suffer from technical problems due to a conflict with the emulator. Apparently it may be possible for these issues to be fixed in future emulator updates, but at the moment we do not have an estimated date for this to happen.
Finally, congratulations to Greg Rutherford on his Olympic Gold Medal in Long Jump. A few years ago we met Greg when we went to Crystal Palace to demonstrate International Athletics. In fact he even gave International Athletics a go himself and said: "The accuracy and realism of International Athletics is fantastic, certainly better than anything I've played on the DS or PSP before. The game is also a great way for children and adults to learn about the different track and field disciplines - I'll certainly be testing my skills on the long jump before I head to Beijing"
You can try a free updated version of the game – cunningly titled International Athletics 2012 – on iPhone here.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week - hopefully with some better news – but until then you can follow Ghostlight 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. We’ve got lots of things going on this week at Ghostlight. But first up I’ve got some good news for any of you who missed out on ordering the awesome Agarest: Generations of War 2 Deluxe Editions! We’ve managed to make a very limited number of these Deluxe Editions available once again through the Ghostlight Store. You can pre-order your copy of this amazing package here.
In other news, I’m afraid that we’ve just heard back from the manufacturers of Agarest 2 and whilst we have received production copies of the physical game and the Deluxe Edition Caps & Bags, the rest of the Collector’s parts have regrettably been delayed until August 16th. This is apparently due to problems that our supplier has been experiencing with the printers of the slip cases and Artbooks. Everything has been resolved but I would again like to apologise for this delay and thank you all for your continued patience. While it’s incredibly frustrating for us, it must be even more so for you guys who are waiting for your copies of Agarest 2 to arrive. Please rest assured that as soon as we receive everything we will of course immediately start sending out stock to everyone who has ordered from us.
Still on the subject of the Agarest series, you might be pleased to hear that the downloadable PSN version of Agarest: Generations of War Zero is back in submission with Sony. If all goes to plan we’ll be revealing details of this fantastic game’s PSN release in the very near future.
Lots of you have been asking for an update on the status of our other games, in particular Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS). Well, I can tell you that Devil Survivor Overclocked, Devil Survivor 2 and the recently announced Crash City Mayhem are all making excellent progress and we’re expecting to receive approval of the masters soon. Once approved, I’ll be announcing release dates and opening them up for pre-order.
I’d also just like to remind our friends on the continent that our fantastic PSP title, Fate/EXTRA should be coming to the remaining European PSN Stores next Wednesday. I’ve checked and can confirm that the game runs perfectly on Vita, so no matter if you have a Vita, a PSP Go or just prefer your games digitally you’ll be able to play this brilliant and unique game. Of course, if you’d prefer a physical version of the game complete with an artbook, soundtrack CD and exclusive (unfolded) giant A1 poster along with a bonus Fate/The Facts book, you can order your copy here.
Finally, before I go, some of you may remember the Q&A sessions we ran about a year ago. I’ve been considering doing another one of these in the near future, so if you’ve got any questions you’d like me to answer about Ghostlight please let me know in the comments here or on my Twitter feed.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week, but until then you can follow Ghostlight on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight.
