Atlus and Vanillaware\u2019s SRPG Unicorn Overlord<\/strong> launched to high acclaim, \u00a0exceeding the developers\u2019 expectations in terms of sales. However, it seems there are currently no plans to develop the title further with DLC, or to release a PC port. This was conveyed by Unicorn Overlord\u2019s producer Akiyasu Yamamoto (who is affiliated with Atlus) in a recent interview with GamerBraves<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unicorn<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unicorn Overlord launched on March 8 for the Nintendo Switch, PS5\/PS4 and Xbox Series X|S. On April 1, it was revealed that the game had topped 500k shipments and digital sales worldwide, enjoying great popularity. Speaking to GamerBraves<\/a>, Yamamoto mentioned that Unicorn Overlord\u2019s development started in earnest around 2016, and was therefore initially intended only for the PS4 and PS Vita. But as the industry changed during the following 8 years and new consoles appeared on the market, Atlus requested a simultaneous worldwide release for the Nintendo Switch, PS5\/PS4 and Xbox Series X|S, which Vanillaware accommodated. However, Yamamoto also added, \u201cUnfortunately, we currently have no plans to port Unicorn Overlord to PC.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is consistent with Yamamoto\u2019s past comment to Destructoid<\/a>, where he implied that Atlus is interested in bringing the game to PC, but that their agreement with Vanillaware does not entail this.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unicorn<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While Atlus\u2019s recent entries to the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series are compatible with the PC, their joint titles with Vanillaware, such as 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, are not, implying a possible studio policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Yamamoto said there are currently no plans for future DLC for Unicorn Overlord. As mentioned previously, development of Unicorn Overlord started in 2016, and it was conceived as a concept back in 2014 (source: Famitsu<\/a>). With this in mind, the game\u2019s content has likely been refined thoroughly during the past decade, which could be why the developers are not keen on making further additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unicorn Overlord<\/a> is available for the PS4\/PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
