During their All Aksys 2024 stream, Aksys Games announced that they are bringing the Nintendo Switch port of Tokyo Xanadu eX+ to western fans in the summer of 2024. The Nintendo Switch version is based on the previous PlayStation 4 release, meaning it will have the extra story, dungeons, playable characters, and game modes which were added in the PS4 version. The new release will also have an updated localization. As an extra bonus, the Nintendo Switch version will include all DLC previously released for the game.

Aksys Games describes the game as follows:
EXPLORE A BRAVE NEW WORLD!
10 years ago, a colossal earthquake devastated Tokyo and changed the lives of its inhabitants forever. The city has since been rebuilt and life has slowly returned to a semblance of normalcy.
However, behind the veil of this newly rebuilt metropolis lies another world, one with a sinister secret. The earth- quake that originally destroyed Tokyo was actually caused by the emergence of a mysterious and lethal shadow world known as the Eclipse.
Now, action must be taken to thwart the legions of the Eclipse and ensure the protection of peace!
