Playism to publish Momodora: Moonlit Farewell for PC
Playism has announced a publishing partnership for Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, the newest installment in the Momodora sidescroller series set to release for PC (Steam). No release window has been given.
Developed by Bombservice, Moonlit Farewell takes place after Momodora III and works as a 'concluding story' for the series. Noting that the more recent Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight works as a prequel to the mainline series, creator rdein states that Moonlit Farewell is being made to be as enjoyable as possible without prior knowledge of other series' entries.

Developer Comments
Hello everyone! This is rdein, creator of the Momodora series. Recently my team and I have announced the latest installment in the series, “Moonlit Farewell”. This is a concluding story, following through from the events of Momodora III. With this new tale, I also intend to close the book on many of the past games’ mysteries and questions.
I’m aware that many players are more familiar with the story of Kaho, which is set in a distant past. As such, I’m designing Moonlit Farewell to be as enjoyable as possible without prior knowledge of Momodora I to III’s stories. Moreover, the series has always been focused on action and minimal stories. So please, don’t worry too much about “catching up”!
Lastly, we hope to bring you our best game with this new title, using all the knowledge we’ve learned in the past ten years. So please don’t forget to head over to the Steam page and hit that wishlist button, and stay tuned for the Momodora: Moonlit Farewell!
