Publishers XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe announced Kandagawa Jet Girls will launch for the PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam on August 25 in North America, Europe and Australia.

Here is an overview of the game:

Jet racing is the sport of the future and the waterways of Tokyo host some of the most daring and skilled young athletes on their high-speed jet machines. Drivers, also known as ‘Jetters,’ pair up with a ‘Shooter’ armed with water weapons to blast away the competition. They must wow spectators if they want to win, building up their boost meter with spectacular aerial stunts while dodging obstacles and evading enemy attacks. Each team can be customized with various outfits, and players can get under the hood to tweak their jet machines’ parts to improve its capabilities and tweak its handling.

Pick from the seven two-girl teams, discovering each of their hopes and motivations for racing as you play through 64 episodes of lighthearted racing drama in single-player stories. Players can switch up the roles of Jetters and Shooters on each team throughout the story mode, and can pair up any two characters from any team to create their own dream team in free mode. The title features online multiplayer with support for up to four players.

Key Features:

Experience the journey of Jet Racers – Enjoy the story of Rin Namiki and her new-found team-mate Misa Aoi as they learn the thrills of what it means to be a Jet Racer in this harshly competitive world.

I barely ever watch streams, especially from strangers, but if I do so I'm usually hunting for oddball Japanese games, and I found this one a few months ago. I'll keep it in mind and look for a sale. It seems as if it won't be censored, but that's only because the game was made with Sony's terrible new policies in mind, and is almost certainly less risqué than it would have been if PS wasn't being run by cowards that pander to the whims of certain groups. The irony here is the self-censorship employed in the previous sentence.
