Riviera: The Promised Land will now launch worldwide on November 28, after having released for the Nintendo Switch in Japan earlier this year.
A remaster of the 2004 Game Boy Advance game of the same name, it’s an RPG with dating sim elements and a story inspired by Norse myth.
It’s the first game in Sting Entertainment’s Dept. Heaven series, which was followed up by 2006’s Yggdra Union: We’ll Never Fight Alone, also for the GBA.
Here’s what the remaster brings to the table, according to its eShop page:

Riviera: The Promised Land has a MSRP of $34.99, but is available on the Switch eShop for $29.74 at a 15% discount until December 5.
Rivera sounds familiar for some strange reason…
The game has been around for well over 20 years. It was originally a wonder Swan game, ported to the GBA and then PSP. I want to the say the GBA port is the most popular one though.
Never played this for GBA or PSP so I’ll defiantly pick up the Switch edition.
