Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time won’t be getting a physical release in the West

The soon-to-be-released Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will not be getting a physical release in the West for whatever reason. While that’s a bummer, especially considering how long the wait has been, there is one way you can secure yourself a physical edition, and it doesn’t even involve pre-ordering some bonkers collector’s edition. In Japan, the game will be receiving a physical edition for all platforms, and as luck would have it, it is a multi-language release.

 

 

As has been the case with a lot of Japanese releases as of late, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will support not only Japanese, but English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. If you fall into any of those language brackets, you can safely import the Japanese release and be set for when it releases on May 22nd, 2025.

Now, we don’t know what will happen with the announced Switch 2 port of the game. In the West, once again, it will be a digital-only release that is scheduled for some point in 2025. If it even does get a physical version in the West, it will likely be a game-key card version, so that’s not exactly a true physical edition. The Japanese version might be different, though most third-party games in Japan are also releasing on game-key cards. For now, if you’re okay with just the Switch 1 port, you should be well served by grabbing this version.
