For those looking to carry the spooky vibes over to the new year, Aksys Games gave Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II a release date. The third entry in the series heads to PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC on February 15, 2024.


Death Mark II finds Kazuo Yashiki back in Tokyo's H City for more supernatural investigations. This time the mystery is swirling around Konoehara Academy, which has been host to a grim shroud since the first in a series of students disappeared. Yashiki has to pose as a teacher and search for any lingering clues as to the whereabouts of these missing students. A handful of side characters ? including returning faces from Spirit Hunter: Death Mark (https://www.destructoid.com/grim-visual-novel-death-mark-coming-to-creep-out-your-halloween/)? can assist in new 2D side-scrolling exploration sections.


The official website (https://aksysgames.com/deathmark2/) is live now along with the Steam page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2080800/Spirit_Hunter_Death_Mark_II/) for Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II. There's also a 14-track original soundtrack CD available for anyone who picks it up through the North American Aksys Online Store. You can see a sample of the new perspectives and more in the First Look trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcc2sR4sb1U).

Still on the hunt

The series comes from Experience, the developers behind dungeon-crawlers like Demon Gaze and Stranger of Sword City. It kicked off with Spirit Hunter: Death Mark in 2017, with Spirit Hunter: NG following close behind in 2018.


Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II was initially crowdfunded through Campfire (https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/207754), managing to more than double its goal for a total of over 30 million yen. We'll see how its new 2D sections and "Suspensive Acts" ? which have you making choices under pressure ? play out early next year.
