Hey, remember in summer of 2013 when I said that Rainbow Skies was scheduled to release in 2014?
Actually, I didn't either. It's been so long, I thought I missed the game, and this was the third in the series, because the logo was immediately recognizable as a followup to 2012's Rainbow Moon. But no, it turns out Skies has indeed been in development for over 5 years, and it's finally coming next month. Alongside news of the release date, Marcus Pukropski, CEO of SideQuest Studios had this to say:
When Rainbow Skies releases next month – it's coming to North America on June 26th, and to Europe and Asia on June 27th – it will arrive on the PlayStation Store for PS4, PS3, and PS Vita for $29.99, €26.99, £22.49 (this last price is subject to change). Even better? Rainbow Skies supports Cross-Save, but to answer your immediate question: No, not Cross-Buy.
Furthermore, by partnering with Play-Asia, there will be physical standard and limited editions for the PS4 and Vita. The limited editions come with a bevy of bonuses: A printed map of the game world, a Book of Knowledge featuring character profiles and more, the game's soundtrack, and a numbered certificate.
