In an announcement earlier this day, the studio shared an upcoming update for the game and their plans going forward. The main topic of course is the showcasing of WitchSpring R’s upcoming Hard Mode and New Game+ game modes. Both modes having been a much requested feature by fans after the game’s release. Aside from the new update, the devs also shared their plans on the game’s console ports.
