The talent agency announced on July 30 that Umehara has been discharged from the hospital and will slowly return to work.
Idea Factory’s Otomate label will release the Variable Barricade romantic comedy adventure game on October 11 in Japan for PlayStation Vita, though it was originally announced for PlayStation 4 as well.
