We bring you from Twitter a message related to one of the most prominent and also criticised games in the Nintendo Switch catalogue. We are talking about Balan Wonderworld.
In the text below, Square Enix confirms the withdrawal of the game’s official demo, which will take place at 23:59 JST on 14 April on all platforms, including the eShop. This means that fans will no longer be able to download it after that time, so don’t hesitate to grab it if you’re interested. We also note that the demo offers an exclusive costume, which has already been confirmed to be offered through another channel in the future. What has not been shared is why this trial version is being withdrawn.
Here is the message:
