New Installment of AI: The Somnium Files Features Kaname Date’s Return This July

The upcoming game promises a thrilling mix of mystery and supernatural elements as players dive into the dreams of victims.

Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct revealed exciting updates, particularly for PC gaming enthusiasts. Among the highlights was the announcement of No Sleep For Kaname Date, the next chapter in the AI: The Somnium Files series, set to release just before my birthday in July. This confirmation includes availability on Steam.

In this installment, the eccentric detective Kaname Date returns, charged with safeguarding the frequently-kidnapped Vtuber Iris Sagan (aka A-Set) once more. Fans will discover trailers hinting at an ancient UFO setting and the recurring theme that dreams play a crucial role in the narrative.

The new installment pledges to incorporate challenging real-world puzzles alongside the typical dream-diving gameplay, promising to twist traditional logic. Notably, Kazuya Yamada will take the lead as the primary writer, marking a shift from Kotaro Uchikoshi, who has taken a smaller role this time, raising questions about the direction of the story.

The release date is set for July 25th, and fans are eager to explore the narrative’s complex layers and whimsical mysteries that lie within this renowned series.
