Publisher Eastasiasoft has announced that it is bringing AOne Games' gory, horror-style one-on-one fighter Omen Of Sorrow to Switch and PS5 in physical form.
This edition will boast 'expanded' content when compared to the previously confirmed Steam version. That means revised story content and new endings for the game's arcade mode. The game hit Xbox One in September of last year, and that edition will also receive this content via a free update.
To cap it all off, cross-play online multiplayer is coming to all versions of the game published by Eastasiasoft. No release date has been given so far, but pre-orders for the physical editions open on February 24th at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET via online retailer Play-Asia. 2,000 limited editions will be produced for Switch and 1,000 for PlayStation 5. The 'standard' edition will also be available to pre-order.
Confusingly, publisher Soedesco released a physical version of the game on PS4 some time ago. It is not known if this version will also benefit from the revised content.
Omen Of Sorrow currently holds a rating of 64 on Metacritic. Its cast is a mix of horror tropes, such as vampires, werewolves and other monsters.
Here's some PR for the game:
Since its original launch, Omen of Sorrow has become a cult hit with fighting game aficionados. AOne Games and Eastasiasoft Limited have focused on evolving that experience in order to bring a definitive revision to more players across multiple platforms and in more territories. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Omen of Sorrow‘s 2.5D brawling spans a multitude of detailed locations with handcrafted animations and cinematic finishers, all set to a masterful soundtrack by composer Francisco Cerda.
In a hidden underworld ruled by creatures of the night, a new terror has awakened! Omen of Sorrow brings monsters of horror, literature and mythology together for a fighting game experience unlike any other. Inspired by numerous arcade classics but offering its own unique innovations and mature aesthetics, Omen of Sorrow positively bleeds style! Featuring a roster inspired by such icons as Frankenstein’s monster and Egyptian high priest Imhotep, this traditional 4-button fighting game rewards or punishes players based on how aggressive their playstyle is, putting a skill-centric spin on combat while keeping the experience accessible to newcomers.
Key Features
+ Select from a varied roster of characters inspired by horror classics.
+ Use cinematic finishers to take down opponents in style!
+ Explore single-player modes against the CPU or challenge friends online.

I'm watching the trailer there and it reminds me so much of the modern Killer Instinct crossed with Darkstalkers.
Not very good music. Castlevania Judgment had better
I hope the game's graphics will not receive big amount of downgrades. Also, I hope the game will look good in handheld/undocked mode. Samurai Spirits/Shodown (2019), SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy and Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash looks awful in handheld/undocked mode.
Those boobs are immense, lets hope the switch nerf won't ruin that part of the game.
Castlevania met Street Fighter..drank too much...said a bunch of stuff we all knew they would regret...had a massive fight...one ended in hospital, the other in jail...impending court case...
@GrailUK That's the one!
Looks kinda generic and the music sucks. Not that impressed.
Generic style and music. Looks bland.
Nice concept, meh execution.
Sorry, but however you jazz it up with boobs, it looks kinda awful. Showing the guy with the sword, the swings aren't even hitting the character in the right place. Looks slow and a bit lame.
I laughed a little at PRINTED MANUAL like that's some big bonus instead of what SHOULD be in every box by default.
@Xiovanni I totally agree!!
Imagine Darkstalkers but not made by Capcom then you got this game. I rather wait for Darkstalkers though but will be checking this game on Steam before I get it on Switch.
@Specter_of-the_OLED These devs had an insanely petty clash with the Steam community that convinced me not to support them a couple years back:

@stinkyx Wow if that is true then I may had to second thought on the game, it does look a bit iffy from the trailer.
I played this on ps4 bought it on day 1 and have found zero players online since.
"It's like Castlevania meets Street Fighter"
Isn't that what Darkstalkers and Castlevania Judgement were? lol
Looks okay for a bargain purchase on first look
Couldn't get through the dang trailer, had to skip ahead every time they flaunted the box... Why do I need to see it 6 times in 45 seconds lol.
Didn't look very interesting or high quality.
