While the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack is already available in Japan for Nintendo Switch with English language support, the four-game collection of narrative horror games had not been announced for a Western release — until today. It includes the entire Heavenly Host arc, comprised of Corpse Party (the 2021 re-release); sequel Corpse Party: Book of Shadows; and the Western console debuts of Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash and Corpse Party: Blood Drive. Western publisher XSEED Games describes the pack as “a celebration of what makes the Corpse Party series so memorable,” listing blood-curdling chills, nightmarish bad ends, and twisted narratives of desperate survival as the reasons why it haunts any player who crosses its path. The collection will be released later this year for Nintendo Switch. (Please be before Halloween.)
The Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack features the entirety of the Heavenly Host saga. Players explore Heavenly Host Elementary School through four visual novels, each full of vengeful spirits, psychological horrors, and shocking secrets. Each game has been optimized for high-definition audio and video, and includes the original Japanese voiceovers with English subtitles.
Below is more about each game, from XSEED Games:
Corpse Party (2021): A friendship ritual gone awry transports high school student Ayumi Shinozaki and her friends to an alternate reality version of a tragedy-stricken institution that stood on the site of their own school long ago. As the vengeful spirits of elementary school students threaten their lives and their sanity, their only hope of survival–much less escape–is to uncover the chilling details surrounding the murders of those trapped before them.
Corpse Party: Book of Shadows: An anthology series that serves as a Corpse Party sequel, prequel, midquel, and alternate universe tale all in one. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows builds upon the events of the first game, exploring or re-exploring past incidents, characters, and points of view, and allowing the player to escape many of the deaths that occurred previously, thus steering them toward all-new (albeit not necessarily better) outcomes.
Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash: A (surprisingly) canonical “midquel” to Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, taking place sometime during the course of those games, Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash recounts the bizarre events of vengeful ghost girl Sachiko Shinozaki’s one-of-a-kind birthday party held in the otherworldly school where so many lives have been lost in previous games: Heavenly Host Elementary. Surviving to the end will require thinking like Sachiko and making the choices that will please her the most…but with the fewest casualties.
Corpse Party: Blood Drive: Set two months after Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, Corpse Party: Blood Drive is the definitive conclusion to the long-running Heavenly Host story arc. Featuring dynamic lighting, detailed environments, and new gameplay systems, this is a Japanese horror experience not to be missed!
Developed by MAGES. and published in the West by XSEED Games, the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack will be released for Nintendo Switch in 2025. It is worth noting that the collection is being developed by a separate team from the one working on Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion, which has been delayed until 2026.
