This is a sequel? I just came across this game on Amazon in the Collector's Edition so pre-ordered it even though I know nothing about it. I can cancel anytime between now and June but definitely have to look into the first game. Explains why I am seeing gameplay from 2 years ago here on RUclips.
I would like to thank whoever sold their soul to get my favourite game of all time a sequel out of nowhere and by extension immediately curing my depression
It's coming in 2022. You have almost have a year to save. Pre-orders are already available in Amazon, at least in Canada, and they don't charge you until it ships. In another note, I'm really curious about Aiba's figurine :)
@@LOSTLEAD8R I guess because people speculated that the first game didn't sell well at all, plus Uchikoshi has moved on to Too Kyo and people didn't expect him to work together with Spike Chunsoft again for this IP

In another timeline, this was revealed at an Anime Expo panel in this year of 2021, but this is fine too. I'm gonna go listen to Invincible Rainbow Arrow in celebration.
After getting my first "This investigation will go unresolved." during the "Anhilation" route, I finally understood the first game's true magic. In this game, you must ACTUALLY work as an actual detective. We must see the case step by step, consider all possibilities, all variables, until finally piecing everything together to get to the truth of everything.
Just finished the first one and I loved it, and I was so happy to find out that a second one is coming out soon, and I'm hoping that they don't stop at two
I thought the first game would be good enough as it's own self-contained standalone story, but I'm not gonna lie, *this does bring one hell of a smile to my face* You can bet I'm gonna be buying this on day one
Yup the story of this game is about a missing half of a body found six years later.. and for some reason it hasn't decayed (it's mentioned on the website)
@@bradDark6941 well, we know the body was found six years after it was first found but that doesnt mean the body was found six years after the previous game. the previous game was set in 2019 and came out in 2019, so im assuming the same here for 2022. that would make her 15. shes wearing a high school uniform here, which would fit with her being 15
I am still losing my shit. It's been almost an hour. Holy shit. I can't believe we're getting a sequel. Ai is probably my favorite switch game, and I own four copies of it. Two physical SE, and one each digital on switch and PS4. Can't wait to buy four copies of this too, and I'm absolutely not joking.
I was honestly surprised to see we got a sequel. I was convinced that this would be a one-off kinda thing. I also heard it hadn’t sold too well, so I wasn’t expecting much, but here we are. Looking forward to it! I hope they turn up the seriousness of certain scenes, mainly where the action happens. It’s a little off putting when they randomly make Date horny to win a gunfight or have Mizuki gain superhuman speed/strength and beat the shit out of everybody lmao
@@Bobb11881 Ah yeah, the one moment at point blank. Of course she wasn’t going to dodge that one. I’m talking about the other instances where she’s had 20+ gunmen firing at her and dodged them all. Again, I like Mizuki a lot. She’s my favorite next to Date, Iris and Moma. But this part of the game was always off-putting to me. Not saying the game is bad, because I enjoyed it.
Once again I almost never even heard this game existed until I saw a random comment that mentioned “Ai 2”. I hope this game can get a bigger marketing push close to release, either way I’m aware now and I need it.
@@ThatoneFelicia Oh no, I completely agree it was awesome. Only if you actually heard of it though, which I may not be in the right circles for but I had played all of Zero Escape shortly before Ai’s release and yet had never heard of Ai until someone I talked to who had also played ZE and Ai mentioned it to me.
@@michaeldiamond5613 The infinity series has some incredible story writing (Ever17 is still one of my favorite game stories of all time) so I'd start there. The first game is probably the weakest but only because they weren't confident people would enjoy the sci fi elements, the later games dive headfirst into it.
Worried about that as well as a couple of red flags in the first game that... really dampened my enjoyment of the game. Just hoping they don't metastasize like a cancer in the sequel, I really do want it to avoid identity politics stuff.
@@brucelectro2761 out of nowhere diatribe on 'OH THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY IS TOOOOOTALLY AWEESOME AND SUPER COOL' when we're playing games to NOT have that keep getting shoved down our throats.
@@LordTyph Dude, that was just a one-time, optional dialogue tag. You could very easily skip it. Either way, I don’t understand what’s wrong with a character in a video game showing support towards a certain group of people. And who cares if this is a video game? This is a story-based game containing different characters with different ideas. Of course some would say something like that! Also, there are THREE LGBT characters in this game; it makes sense that a character or two would say that directly.
@@brucelectro2761 Because it comes out of nowhere and seems out of character. It's a huge, long diatribe from a character who's blunt and curt and isn't one to normally make these speeches. Forgive me for wanting an escape from propaganda and not being happy when it gets shoved into my face.
I had a chortle seeing 999 in the trailer. Now I'm wondering if Spike Chunsoft will bring the Zero Escape series to the Switch. If they do, will they port the Zero Escape: The Nonary Games? Or will they do a new remaster of 999 that is closer in line with the original in the execution of the main twist?
I guarantee that if they make more ports of 999 it's going to be based off the single-screen Nonary Games version. I played the DS version originally and yes, the dual screens made the twist more effective, but emulating that stuff would be pointless for 99% of the game and the plot twist still works just fine without the trick. Of course, it would still be a fun feature to have for old fans of the game.
I bought the first game on a whim and loved every bit of it. I haven't gotten all the endings but Mizuki route was one of my favorites in it. I hope this just as good
@@TheVeyron623 i mean aiba was way too edgy burning date as a perv for him to be dead.. considdering the AI was basically in love with him / besties I just hope there is more aset in it.. mizuki was or is her Manager afterall.. might have dropped that job
I can't believe this is real. The first game is the best story I've ever experienced in any form of media, and the creative team seemed to disband after its completion. So to see that a lot of the key contributors to the first game are back for this sequel, and it's less than a year away from release (and on Switch!) has me shocked in the best possible way! Thank you to everyone working on this game, and to everyone who allowed this to happen! I wish you all the very best with it!

@@melvinsantos9756 I was checking it out today myself. Really disappointed in some of the reviews, like one that gave it a single star and claimed it was "mobile game trash" or something similar. I really wish you could respond to reviews and call them out on their shit directly.
What I'm hoping this is completely a different timeline than the original game. Theory based on Spoilers I treated the first game as Wadjet system introductory and it can access time and space; i would say this is an Aiba that has all the other timeline information Aiba and Mizuki trying to solve the mystery behind something that happened which may leads to who behind the Wadjet system however she can't do that alone and needs another Wadjet system user(could be Date or someone else entirely)playing 999 would be a reference for Akane and Junpei cooperating at the end of that and this one would be having a similar mechanic where you as Mizuki cooperate with Date, the new AI logo illustrates that this game would happen in two different timelines or experiencing two different perspectives(Aiba time jumps from Date to Mizuki) and finally nirvanA which in Buddhism means an Ideal space or state however since it's one of those AI puns i would say this is either an ideal state that would happen in the Wadjet system or anything related to that(Aiba). And Remember this is just a theory based on a glimpse that happened in the game where Date happen to remember Mizuki crying from different timeline with combination of Pewter not knowing how exactly this system works.
@@truefayx7431 Don't hold it against me if I am wrong, but I believe it was that one police officer who Date encountered at the fishing warehouse and messed up on the dude's name only like a million times LOL. XD
My hopes were that Date was going to marry Hitomi and they were going legally adopt Mizuki so that they and Iris would be an official family. Hope my theory gets confirmed.
@@xAreuto I’m just theorizing on what happened to characters after the first game to what happens in this game. I know there’s a dance scene at the end I meant after they finish dancing.
Super excited for this unexpected sequel. Loved the first game and glad to see it was popular enough to get more. They've even already started dubbing so I'm hopeful for that Spring 2022 release.
A pleasant surprise. First game wrapped up nicely but the silence after gave the impression that it was a wrap. Two years later and they did the unthinkable and that's great
Happy to see Mizuki as the protagonist this time around! Hopefully this game has a better structure for the story so that I'm not constantly cut off because I kept finding the paths I should only see after seeing other events. Also I REALLY hope finding the ways to trigger different paths to be less random.

@@fz4178 I think that might have been the joke TrueFayx was making.
@@InfiniteThePhantomJackal Oh whoops, must have flew right over my head when replying back then!
Thanks for allowing me to finally get the joke! Haha.
you mean kaniza?
So uh, teasing 999 for the switch tho??
Thats what I noticed 👀👀
How the F did I miss this? A few weeks late, but I'm here for the hype train.
Nice, just played the original this year. Glad to see we're getting a sequel.
Was not expecting this reveal. Loved the first game and Mizuki was my favourite character. Cannot wait.
between this and Danganronpa, this company is on FIRE 💯
Have you played the Zero Escape trilogy? (The game Mizuki is playing oh her psp is 999, the first game in that series.) It's by the same dude.
Nice! I loved AI: The Somnium Files. Super stoked it's getting a sequel!!!
The beginning makes me want Zero Escape on switch, thanks
she IS playing it on switch.. thats an indirect announcement
so the 9 eyes on the website is the reference to the zero escape team... well done
Just finished the first game and loved it. Can't wait for the sequel.
YO WHAT?!
God she's even playing 999. GOTY 2022 contender baby
Lolll prob not
@@toooydoeur Hey, fix the animations and clean up some of the holes the last game fell into a bit with it's story and it's highly likely.
@@colt1903 more like have good characters and a non-rediculous tone and we good
@@toooydoeur it didn't have a ridiculous tone though. It had an Uchikoshi tone.
@@colt1903 idk what that is but yes, tons of moments were ridiculous so the tone of the game overall was goofy and nonsensical
Oh my gosh we live in a great time-line you guys!! 👀
So excited for this, AI is one of my favorite games I've played this year.
LETS GO BOYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
My hopes were that Date was going to marry Hitomi and they were going legally adopt Mizuki so that they and Iris would be an official family. Hope my theory gets confirmed.
Date DID adopt Mizuki so...
Sounds like you didn’t finish the game pal.
@@xAreuto I finished the game what wrong with my theory?
@@lolzman999 I mean if you did finish the game then you need to replay the finale again.
@@xAreuto I’m just theorizing on what happened to characters after the first game to what happens in this game. I know there’s a dance scene at the end I meant after they finish dancing.
Super excited for this unexpected sequel. Loved the first game and glad to see it was popular enough to get more.
They've even already started dubbing so I'm hopeful for that Spring 2022 release.
Quick, find the anagram of nirvanA Initiative!
invite invariant ai
Aiba forever!
A pleasant surprise. First game wrapped up nicely but the silence after gave the impression that it was a wrap. Two years later and they did the unthinkable and that's great
Oh please tell us when the pre order for the special editiom drops. I need to secure mine now
@nickammonsVA When is the Nintendo eShop Preorder?
@nickammonsVA in case you didnt know, they are available now on Amazon. Just got mine
I knew it! I had a feeling they were making a new Somnium files game! I'm so happy! x)
Even though the logo is fairly simple, I really like it. Lol.
I just knew the announcement WOULDN'T be a sequel to AI, and yet here we are! I'm so excited for this game and can't wait to get it on Steam!
So Date did go out with that receptionist lady and left Aiba behind
That was actually the true end
THIS IS AMAZING! I did not see this comming!
I assume this will continue from the “good” ending
Please keep the japanese version of the final dance scene too! I really want them both this time!
Happy to see Mizuki as the protagonist this time around! Hopefully this game has a better structure for the story so that I'm not constantly cut off because I kept finding the paths I should only see after seeing other events. Also I REALLY hope finding the ways to trigger different paths to be less random.
6 months later I just noticed her pipe clips through her hair even more than Hitomi and Iris's arms did during the finale dance.
A-set! You bet!
isn't the ferris wheel from the first game, in Bloom Park? where she was first seen as a character?
