Fans of AI: The Somnium Files may not need reminding, but it’s worth pointing out that the latest game in the series will sheds its Nintendo Switch exclusivity on 26th February.
No Sleep for Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files launched last year, but here’s your first proper look at the PS5 and PS4 version.
This gameplay trailer shows off the various systems you can expect in the final release, including the investigation elements, puzzles, and more.

Here’s what the blurb has to say about the outing:
“After The New Cyclops Serial Killings was resolved, internet idol Iris Sagan (known as "A-set") is abducted by a UFO and forced to participate in a perilous escape game called The Third Eye Game. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a mysterious device is discovered. It resembles a coffin, and attached to it is a note that reads: ‘Psync Me’. Relying on a tenuous line of communication with the missing Iris, one man rises once again, determined to track down the UFO that should not even exist. Together with his partner, the AI-Ball Aiba, he sets out on a quest. That man is Special Agent Kaname Date.”
Truly tragic English voice acting aside, we’ve generally been positive about the previous AI: The Somnium Files titles, awarding both entries a 7/10.
We’re excited to see this instalment finally release on PlayStation platforms, then.
