Summary
It’s been confirmed thatKunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, the new action-strategy title from Capcom, is launching without a physical version.Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddessis a difficult game to describe. While it’s an action-strategy title at its core, it’s also a tower defense game and a hack-and-slash, with somePikminsprinkled in as well.
Kunitsu-Gami’s bizarre premisehas captured the attention of strategy game fans interested in trying something new, and many are looking forward to its July 19 release date. But whenKunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddessreleases on July 19, it will come with a catch that is sure to upset some Capcom fans.
Unfortunately,Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddesswill be digital-only, meaning that the game will not have a physical release. This may not bother some fans, but those who still prefer to collect physical games will likely be disappointed that the next Capcom title won’t have that option available. The video game industry is an increasingly digital space, and so it’s likely that more games from AAA publishers will follow suit and skip physical releases in the future. However, this doesn’t mean that allfuture Capcom gameswill be digital-only. It’s likely that the decision was made to releaseKunitsu-Gamias a digital-only release since it’s a smaller-scale game compared to some of Capcom’s other titles and because it’s a brand-new, unproven IP, as opposed to a new entry in one of the company’s established franchises.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Will Not Have a Physical Release
WhenKunitsu-Gami’s July 19 release date rolls around, it will sell for $49.99. While $49.99 used to be what video games cost at full price, that’s now considered a budget price, with $70 being the norm. The decision to releaseKunitsu-Gamias a budget title may have also played a role in the game skipping a physical release. In any case, it’s worth pointing out that anyone interested in trying Capcom’s new action-strategy game can actually do so without paying for it at all.
Those excited totryKunitsu-Gamifor themselves, even though it’s not going to have a physical release, should note that a demo is available to play right now. Progress in theKunitsu-Gamidemo doesn’t carry over, but it should give fans a good idea if they’ll want to play the full game or not.
