In a blog entry that was posted today, Makoto Asada, a producer over at Cave, confirmed that the "Regular Edition" version of Espgaluda II Black Label will be region free. Unfortunately, he also added that it will be Cave's last region-free game "for the time being."

The only other game from Cave to receive the region-free treatment was Mushihimesama Futari, which was released last November for the Xbox 360. It was widely known that the company did this in order to gauge interest in its games outside of Japan. With Aksys' announcement in January that it would be bringing Deathsmiles to the US, it was clear that Cave got the answer it was looking for. So, today's announcement shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Thank you for the warm messages from all over the world.

Espgaluda II Black Label Normal Edition is region free. But I'm afraid new games after Espgaluda II Black Label won't be region free.

I assure you that Espgaluda II Black Label Normal Edition will be the last region free game for the time being.
