I also want to mention they did purchase the website for Corpse Party 2: DEAD PATIENT @ https://who.is/whois/corpseparty2.com

It was registered on April 24, 2012 and was last updated on January 27, 2014.
When was Corpse Party 2: DEAD PATIENT officially revealed? There was some speculation on the XSEED forums that the site you mentioned was going to be used for Book of Shadows, since DEAD PATIENT might not have been announced yet.

So they're more likely to just be preparing and reserving these for the future, then. Seeing that XSEED also got a website for CP2 purchased, yet left for awhile now, there's evident interest to it for them. When or if they'll act on that interest will probably still be some time in the future, since they only went and announced a localization for BC years after it's all released.
As far as I've heard, XSEED only showed interest in DP, there wasn't a real confirmation from them. Though, they may already have interest since, and just reserved the site in the case that they go through with it.

From what I have gathered, Corpse Party 2: DEAD PATIENT was revealed around August 2012. I don't know if they had hinted at it earlier than that.

It would make sense if that website was originally prepared for Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, but they ended up using http://www.corpsepartybookofshadows.com. (I know there are still few places that call "Book of Shadows" as "Corspe Party 2".) Seeing as they recently updated it, they possibly could be using that as a placeholder for Corpse Party 2?

I imagine XSEED bought the "corpseparty2.com" domain some time ago in hopes of localizing Dead Patient, but ultimately have decided to wait a bit longer to act for one of two reasons:

1. The whole game has not been finished. It is still under development, being made chapter by chapter, and this may have dissuaded them from taking action until a full release of the game has been accomplished.

2. They originally had intended to localize the game, chapter by chapter, but "something" came up in the end that ultimately swayed their opinion. I think that "something" is most likely the ReBirth of Chapter 1. Perhaps they had updated it again back in 2014 in hopes that the redux of Chapter 1 would come out soon, but were forced to wait a bit longer when news about Dead Patient went "total dark" in favor of BloodDrive news. But, now that 2015 is here and we will likely be seeing Chapter 1 and 2 released sometime within Late Q1/Q2/Late Q3/please-not-Q4-again, I imagine we will be hearing something from XSEED just as soon as BloodCovered for the PC is released.

Personally, I'm thinking that we will get the release of BloodCovered first, then BloodDrive will be announced and worked on, then they will work on Dead Patient after BloodDrive has been/is close to reaching its release, since around that time, Dead Patient will likely be most of the way/hopefully done releasing chapters.

Also worth some mention, Siliconera just reported on XSEED's purchase of BloodDrive's domain: http://waa.ai/4g1b

OK so its cool that they bought the domain for that to but as said before I think it was meant for Book of Shadows but then they decided to keep it when Dead Patent was announced. I do think we will get Dead Patent and I do want to get it but in my and probably XSEEDS opinions Blood Drive comes first.

Well, upon closer inspection, both the domain for "corpseparty2.com" and "corpsepartybookofshadows.com" were actually registered on the same date, so it's a bit harder to say why they would do that. They could have done it to secure two I.P.s that described Book of Shadows, or they could have done it with the intention to work on Book of Shadows, then work on Dead Patient, only the have their attention diverted with the announcements of both BloodDrive and Chapter 1 ReBirth. It's hard to say for sure.

I dunno, I'm a little iffy about the English release.

Particularly some scenes in Blood Drive and how they are going to be translated.
If you seen 2u, you'll know what scenes I'm talking about for Blood Drive.

Also, I believe XSEED mentioned that 2u was not going to be localized, or at least not by them.
Also that some of the Corpse Party lore won't be present to People in the west since 2u isn't coming out, and won't know most of the characters that debuted in 2u unless if they search the web.

There's also the fact how they will pronounce the names in the game for the new characters, like Megari, or Misuto, or the Tomb of Martuva.

I guess I'm just paranoid for the release since I fear they won't do the game justice.


But as for the release date, we still have no idea if it is just a place holder for the time being, which most likely than not is.

But God Forbid they add a english voice cast. If so they should make it dual audio, because subbed is better imo.
Koei Tecmo made that mistake with Atelier Ayesha. Don't get me wrong, some of the acting is good, but Ayesha's english voice is just...
ungh...

Don't get me wrong she may be a good voice actress, just not for Ayesha, since she sounds like she was doing a Disney Princess imitation, and I love Disney movies.

But on topic, I'm iffy about the localization.

Aside from some translation errors, XSEED has performed well in localization, balancing meaning and easy flow of reading.

Yes, 2U won't be localized by them, and probably will never be officially localized due to the genre's obscurity and themes. While 2U expands on the new characters like Inumaru and Aiko, they are properly introduced in BloodDrive to not need 2U. Beside *that* scene, which can be made sense in ways, a proper explanation is possible and given by a character in-game. I won't dwell on that though. Besides, the link between the game is more of a... bonus thing and BloodDrive explains in a "standalone" manner so that 2U knowledge won't be needed that much. More "Woah! So that's why." moments if you know 2U, though.

The name localization is pretty much minor and the deal with a certain name is manageable, with people surely to understand reason as to why, given circumstance and with some thinking on the player's part.

There is no release date yet, and the site being taken is just a faint sign. It could still be 1-3 years till BD comes for English.

XSEED has expressed numerous times before that they would not have an English cast even if they want to due to the unique binaural sounds the JPN voices have. They know it's hard, almost impossible, to match up to the original, so I'm not worried they'd do dubs.
