Update: The Kickstarter for Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX SIX STARS !!!!!! has reached its initial goal of $100,000 with another 23 days left to spare. As of the updating of this article, the funding sits at $116,316.

The Kickstarter appears to acknowledge three stretch goals, including the notion of a new character, but hasn't given concrete details on monetary goals yet. The proposed schedule sees a release in late 2017, with new content dropping in Autumn of 2018.

Earlier: Originally a title exclusive to Japanese arcades, the Arcana Heart series was met with such critical acclaim that it was ported to a variety of consoles and spawned a number of sequels.

This two dimensional fighting game is now on its third numbered iteration, Arcana Heart 3, and is now on its third version of this current iteration in Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX SIX STARS !!!!!!.

Six Stars actually released in 2014, but currently does not have a port for Steam, the platform that would make the game accessible to PC users.

Should the development team reach its $100,000 goal by August 2nd, that will change. A Kickstarter has begun, and already fans of the series have pledged over $30,000.

Here's an excerpt from EXAMU Inc.'s Kickstarter page:

"Arcana Heart is a heartfelt!! 2D fighting game featuring the cutest of characters and dynamic fighting mechanics. Originally an arcade game in Japan, many sequels and ports were made to various formats including PS2, PS3, XBOX, PSVITA, and Steam, but for the most part, the arcade was where it was at. The Steam release of Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX !!!!! was received with positive responses among its fans across the globe.

This project will port to PC the newest title, Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX SIX STARS !!!!!! Help us bring SIX STARS !!!!!! to your Steam and fans everywhere!"
