MangaGamer announced last year that they will localize the PC version of Ooe, the latest project of Adelta known for Hashihime of the Old Book Town or Uuultra C.
But it turns out that now, we have a Switch port coming up this year published by dramatic create. Since the Switch port is releasing this soon, I doubt that MangaGamer is involved in the translation. It must have happen before, but it still a weird case to have two different publishers working on the same project.
What differs from the PC version is that extra stories will be added and the character Hinode will be voiced. But keep in mind that it will also be a censored version, unlike the PC version. A physical edition is also to be expected since the other localized BL VN by the same publisher,The Town of Nie, had one.
