Only one more month to go for brand-new Cotton cute 'em up action!
New Trailer - Switch & PS4 coming 20 May
Stuttgart, April 20th, 2022. ININ Games is proud to announce that Cotton Fantasy is launching in one month, on May 20th, for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 (PS4), both digitally and via retailers worldwide, as revealed in a new trailer!
After the critically acclaimed remaster Cotton Reboot! delighted fans in 2021, Cotton Fantasy now marks the full rebirth of the series, with a brand-new entry. Only one more month to go until fans around the world can get their hands on this modern and high-octane "Cute 'em up" shooter! To play the game on launch, fans can already pre-order from a variety of local
retailers for $/€39.99, a full list is available on the ININ Games website.
Nintendo Life rated Cotton Fantasy as "Great 8/10", especially praising the amount of content and variety on offer: "Cotton Fantasy brings so many different experiences in a single shmup that it may as well be a compilation release. Few shmups offer so many ways to play, nor deliver such an enchanting world quite so alive with personality".
Eager collectors also have the chance to secure a limited boxed edition from Strictly Limited Games or Gamesrocket. The Limited Edition comes at the same price as the retail edition but with alternative cover artwork and a game manual not included in the retail edition and will start shipping in May. Also available is a highly limited Collector's Edition with exclusive, magical collectibles, including the official Cotton Nendoroid figure. This edition will start shipping a little later though.
