The final installment of the supernatural story that began with Corpse Party, and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, now continues with Corpse Party: Blood Drive.

New gameplay systems provide more exciting interactions for players experiencing the gruesome finale to this tale of an inescapable, otherworldly school populated by vengeful spirits, including a dynamic lighting system aided by an in-game flashlight, talismans to protect the player characters from danger, deadly traps to disarm, cabinets to hide in, a stamina system that allows for limited dashing, and much more.

Furthermore, Blood Drive -- once again presented with the original Japanese voiceovers for authenticity -- features the return of previously offered gameplay elements such as binaural 3D audio for simulated surround sound and the screen-altering “Darkening” system, as well as bonus unlockables such as voice actor interviews, art, music, and more. Boasting 11 huge story chapters and 8 supplemental "Extra Chapters," Blood Drivecaps off the Heavenly Host storyline in a big way, providing answers and shocking twists in equal measure.

“We’re confident in saying that we’re just as thrilled to be making this announcement as North American Corpse Party fans will be when they find out that Blood Drive will be getting a physical release,” said Executive Vice President Ken Berry at Marvelous USA. “We’re also incredibly excited to be publishing an Earth Defense Force title for the first time—one which has never been released on these shores previously, yet is widely regarded as the series’ best.”

Corpse Party: Blood Drive is the final entry in the “Heavenly Host Elementary” chapter of the Corpse Party visual novel-style horror adventure series,and will be released physically in North America for the first time in the series’ history through a special “Everafter Edition” containing a two-disc compilation of songs from all three games, as well as a “Dying Art” book featuring artwork from throughout the franchise.
