Publisher Visual Arts/Key has announced that classic visual novel Kanon, originally released in 1999, will soon receive an English localization for the first time. A release date has yet to be announced, but it is coming to PC via Steam (where it says it’s “coming soon,” for whatever that is worth).

Kanon Overview

Kanon is the debut work from the visual novel studio, Key, known for titles such as CLANNAD, Little Busters, Summer Pockets and more. It received great acclaim and was even adapted into an anime series. Enjoy this tale of small miracles that occur in a northern town, now with the latest visual novel engine!

  • Featuring retouched HD visuals and CG coloring! This version not only offers the best HD quality to date, but the game’s CG coloring has also been adjusted to better complement LED display colors. Enjoy the experience with beautiful graphics!
  • Although the Windows version of Kanon has never had voice support before, the Steam version adds full voice support with an amazing cast of actors! (The protagonist is only voiced during certain parts of the game.)
  • The text can be set to Japanese, English, or Simplified Chinese (audio only available in Japanese). This includes in-game text, options, and the digital manual. Language settings can be changed at any time.
  • Touch gestures can also be used if you’re playing on a tablet PC or a Steam Deck.

He discovered the RPGFan community a couple of years ago and, after growing up in Western Canada as a "jock," was thrilled to realize that there were others in the world who learned roman numerals as a teenager thanks to the Final Fantasy series. Contributing to the news team is his main objective at the site and it is his goal to project the confidence of Ron Burgundy while keeping everyone from realizing he might just be Brick Tamland.
