Hello again! 2021 is off to a wonderful start, isn't it?
If you've ordered the First4Figures Reala you'll have received an email stating that Reala was entering Mid-production. Good news right?
Well it turns out that this email was sent accidentally, and that Realas release date has in fact been delayed until Q3 2021. This was to be expected given the current state of the planet (and First4Figures track record ) so no surprises here!
The email reads as follows:
"First off, we would like to thank you for patiently waiting. We recently sent a notification to let you know that your statue is in the middle stages of production. Please ignore the notification as it was sent due to a manual error from our end. The statue is still in the early stages of production.
The estimated release date has been extended to the 3rd quarter of 2021. Our first priority is to make sure that the finished product lives up to our customers expectations and we will not compromise quality to reach the estimated release date. We will resend the Product Completion notification email again as soon as we get to the middle stages of production.
Thank you for your understanding. Should you have any inquiries, please fill in the Contact Us form on our website."
So if they're delaying it to ensure quality, this is only a good thing!
Let's be patient, Reala will be here soon enough~!

Well, now you can download the game on Steam, for free no less!

"But Dex", I hear you exclaim, "I already have the game on Steam!". Share the link with any friends you have that might be interested~!
Personally, I didn't have it because my PC would immediately detonate if I tried to play it and I already had it on PS3 and 360, but now I have no excuse not to own it haha!
That was a short but sweet announcement, hope you're all doing well~!

If you want to submit a NiGHTS related project just check the contact section at the top of the page for where to find us!
Keep up the good work people, you've got this~!
This isn't strictly NiGHTS related, I know, but it's definitely something close!
Square Enix and Balan Company (founded by our own Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima) have just revealed their new game called "Balan Wonderland"! You can tell just by looking at the trailer and promotional art that this is clearly a labour of love that has more than a few things in common with our beloved NiGHTS, as well as the likes of Billy Hatcher and other older SEGA games! The game is due for release on just about everything in Spring 2021, so there's something great to look forward to next year!
It's downright fantastic to see two of NiGHTS' creators working together again!
I've taken screenshots from the Balan website, which features some incredible art from Ohshima-san and the team involved!
We might not be getting a new NiGHTS anytime soon, but the spirit of the franchise is still alive and well! First in Rodea, and now in this new game! Judging by the trailer it looks like we're even getting Nightmaren equivalents, and I'm a sucker for a well designed Nightmaren~!
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more news about "Balan Wonderworld" by following their Twitter, their Blog and even their Instagram!
I'll continue to report on "Balan Wonderworld" if you guys have no problem with it, or would you prefer the site stick only to NiGHTS?
Let me know in the comments or the forums~!
It's that time again! Our monthly Community Post is here, where we take a look at the latest submitted artwork and projects from the NiGHTS fans!
This month's post is a bit later as it was NiGHTS' anniversary on the 5th of July (chances are I don't need to tell YOU that)
so I held off to give any stragglers a chance to be included in this birthday special!
There were SO MANY posts this time so I've done it a bit differently this time.
All artwork is included in a big gallery instead of just being uploaded right here because this post would have taken up the whole site!
Artists are credited under their art but I'll link to their respective pages afterwords!
NiGHTS into Zines
The Community Posts aren't the only thing that updates monthly! NiGHTS into Zines Issue 3 is out now!
Be sure to check out the latest issue!

If your art is featured and you'd like to be credited differently just let me know!

I haven't intentionally left anyone out, sometimes things slip through the cracks!
Hope to see you next month~!
Well lookie what we got here: another NiGHTS Community Post!

Speaking of community, now more than ever it is integral to point out that as far I'm concerned the NiGHTS fanbase has always and will always be welcoming to people of every Race, Gender, Religion, Sexuality etc.
So long as you're polite to people we will welcome you with open arms!
The imagery coming out of the US just now is harrowing but it's also great to see so many people stand up in unison against systemic oppression and racism!
Black Lives Matter too~!
