Loop8: Summer of Gods is a “Juvenile RPG” announced by Marvelous during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation in Japan (back in February). And later this month, it’s getting its own web novel, called “A Summer Day”.

Written by Yuri Shibamura (who also serves as Game Designer and Scenario writer for the game), this web novel will be published sequentially starting on August 16th.

Unfortunately, A Summer Day is unlikely to be translated in English (at least officially), as the game itself is yet to be announced for a western release. And even then, a translation of that web novel still wouldn’t be likely; after all, Star Reclaimers (the web novel for for Daemon x Machina, also by Marvelous) remains untranslated to this day.

Still, today’s announcement seems to indicate that a 2022 release for LOOP8 is still in the works.
