Yes, there’s another Corpse Party that’s now been released. It can be a little confusing, as there’s been a few but this is the latest from XSEED Games titled Corpse Party (2021).
Something of a cult classic that was originally released in 1996, that spawned a few remakes for different platforms and some extra games that mixed in elements of a prequel and sequel. The Windows version landed in 2016, with it then coming to Linux in late 2017.
This version of it though is supposed to be “an updated and expanded version of the cult classic” developed by MAGES instead of Team GrisGris like the 2016 release.
You can see a trailer on the publisher’s YouTube, which they weirdly chose to disable being embed elsewhere so we can’t include it here for you to see like we usually do.
