It seems that we're still going to be seeing Ayame, after all.
August 13, 2023 - Yesterday, in accordance with the 13th anniversary of the PSP Cult Classic Corpse Party: Blood Covered... Repeated Fear, Team GrisGris and MAGES announced a new installment in the series titled Corpse Party II: Darkness Dimension and this announcement made it seem that Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient will forever be dead and in development limbo.
However, Shin Kedoin, the series story and screenwriter tweeted this as a follow up to the announcement:
【コープスⅡ DD】は、チームグリグリにて制作中の【コープスパーティー2DEAD PATIENT】の移植ではなく、新たにお話を書き下ろした完全新作となります。
— 祁答院 慎@ PS4/Switch版『コープスパーティーBR』(完全版) 発売! (@Kedwin) August 12, 2023
※世界観は全シリーズ共通です。
(「DP」も紆余曲折を経て制作中ですので、そちらもご期待下さい)
広がってゆく世界、どうぞ続報をお楽しみに!
This tweet roughly translates to:
Corpse Party II Darkness Dimension is not a transplant of Corpse Party 2 DEAD PATIENT currently being produced by Team GrisGris, but a completely new story with a newly written story.* The World view is common to all series.
(Dead Patient is also under production after many twists and turns, so please look forward to that as well)
The world is expanding, so please look forward to the next announcement!
And there we have it. While many fans are still waiting for the new chapters of Dead Patient, a lot of them were saddened by the announcement yesterday, but this sadness was quickly reverted after the confirmation that Dead Patient is still happening.
Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient is available in Steam and currently only has 1 Chapter with 1 Extra Chapter.
