VR game 'Summer Lesson' gets English sub for SEA release

Virtual reality might be the future of gaming, but we won’t know for sure until we get some quality VR games. And with the release of the PlayStation VR, we can expect those games to start trickling in…

One VR game that has garnered a good deal of attention is “Summer Lesson.” First announced in 2014, the title has you spending some quality alone time with a cute schoolgirl. To do what, you ask? Why, to do some studying, of course!

For the longest time, however, developer Bandai Namco gave no indications that there were any plans to bring the game over to countries outside Japan.

Good news, then, for VR fans, and anyone who has ever dreamed of teaching a Japanese schoolgirl some math: Bandai Namco Entertainment just announced that the PlayStation VR exclusive “Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto” will be getting an English localization.

To be more specific, “Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto” will be released with Japanese voice work and English subtitles in Southeast Asia. It will be available in early 2017 through the PlayStation Network.

“Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto” was the result of Bandai Namco Entertainment’s desire to explore the various new ways technology could be used to give gamers more immersive and memorable experiences. Ever since its 2014 reveal, the game has served as a tech demo showcasing the power of the PlayStation VR at numerous events around the world.

In “Summer Lesson: Hikari Miyamoto,” you assume the role of a tutor who has been tasked with assisting the eponymous high school student with her summer break studies. The story is spread across seven days, and gives you the opportunity to engage in life-life interactions with Hikari.
