We're thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess The Pristine Cut will releasing on October 24th. A year and a day after the original's release. Thank you so much for your patience and please enjoy this animated trailer! [previewyoutube=l9S92mzFAkw;full][/previewyoutube] For those of you who aren't aware, The Pristine Cut is a free upgrade to the base game, that among other things:

• Expands the game by roughly 35%. This means thousands of new voice lines, over a thousand new illustrations, and 17 tracks of brand new music.
• Adds significant glow-ups for The Fury, The Den, and the Apotheosis, each of which has over three times as much stuff to see as they had in the base game.
• Introduces three brand new Princesses that branch off of The Damsel, the Prisoner, and the Spectre.
• Adds an entirely new ending to the game.
• Adds a deep, interactive gallery to help you chart your progress across over 420 unlocks and that brings back your best (and worst) memories with the Princess.
• Provides subtitle support for: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, German, Polish, French, Russian, and Italian.
• Brings the game to consoles PS4 + 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox! And if you're the sort who collects things, both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions are getting a physical release, including a collector's edition!

And for those of you who have been waiting for an EU-friendly version version of the collector's edition that doesn't get hit by a ton of import fees, we're thrilled to finally reveal that we have one! Its contents are a little different from the US version of the CE it swaps out the statue and the lenticular for a poster but at a more affordable price point!
And all of this is on top of the large ending overhaul we released early back in March, which significantly expanded the late game and added a ton of animations. But wait, there's more! You know how The Pristine Cut is coming out the day after Slay the Princess' one year anniversary? Well... we've also got something for you on the one year anniversary itself! Join us, Jonny, Nichole and Brandon for a big ol' livestream on our Twitch channel. Abby will be drawing EACH Princess live (new Pristine Cut princesses excluded), we'll be chatting about what it was like to work on the game, and we'll even be playing through one of the many paths through an expanded Pristine Cut route to give you a little taste of what's to come!
AND THAT'S NOT ALL! We've also got you covered on the merch front! T-shirts and optical illusion Spectre keychains are now available on Serenity Forge's website, and for all of you Pin-Heads, we even have some extra Pinny Arcade Princess pins from this year's PAX West. Get 'em while they're hot!
Look at that keychain. Look at that keychain! And finally, a teaser for what's to come. I think you'll all really like what we've got cooking here :STPWitchNya:
Thank you all so much for your love and support it's because of all of you that we're able to take big, ambitious swings with our work. If you haven't had the chance yet and you liked Slay the Princess, consider picking up our other Equally Good visual novel, Scarlet Hollow, which will be getting an enormous fifth episode next year! All the best, Tony and Abby P.S.
