Western Release of Cupid Parasite Requires Post-Launch Patch to Fix Unedited Dialogue and Grammar

Idea Factory International released a statement that details some issues with the western release of Cupid Parasite on November 2, 2021.

The publisher has discovered an issue where edited text in part of Ryuki’s route and Raul’s has not been implemented. Further, other issues such as grammar and text-overflow have been found in the final build.

Considering the release is next week, the publisher has shared that they plan to issue a patch approximately 4 weeks after launch.

The statement adds:

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. These additional 4 weeks will allow us to thoroughly check the build and implement the necessary changes to give fans the quality they deserve. Thank you all for your patience.

We’ll keep you updated on the release of this patch in the west.

Cupid Parasite tells the story of a cupid called Lynette Mirror, who runs from home and starts living in the human world. Working at a bridal adviser company, she’s managed to climb to the top of the company, being recognized as the best employee. Taking that into account, her boss decides to give her a special job.

She has to manage the five worst clients the company has ever had. Known as Parasite 5, they’re infamous for causing a lot of trouble. By marrying them off, she’ll be able to get a big promotion, but this may end up being the most challenging job of her life.

Worst of all, they’ll all have to live together as part of a reality show to promote the company’s expertise. The plot is quite colorful and unpredictable as various quirky situations arise in this romantic comedy story.

Cupid Parasite is coming to Nintendo Switch on November 2, 2021, for North America, and November 5, 2021, for Europe.
