Enterbrain's Weekly Famitsu magazine is officially announcing Namco Bandai Games' tentatively named God Eater 2 action/hunting game for the PSP portable platform on Thursday. The 2012 game will be first full sequel to the original 2010 game which sold over 600,000 copies. (The God Eater Burst update shipped last October and brought the franchise sales total to over 1.1 million.)
The story is set in 2074, three years after the events of the original game. The world is still threatened by the mysterious living entities known as "Aragami." The sequel's protagonist is a "next-generation God Eater" fighting against the Aragami; he (or she, depending on the character creation process) is a member of the Fenrir organization's special forces unit Blood (Buraddo) who just arrived in the Far East sector. A mysterious red rain has begun fall in this area filled with more ferocious forms of Aragami and humans suffering from an incurable ailment.
The sequel will feature new weapons such as the boost hammer and charge spear, as well as new Aragami such as the Marduk.
Damn this game looks great especially. I hope it has online gameplay, that would be great, but I guess I can only wish. Will this be released here in NA or only in Japan?
This is just simply amazing! Regardless of a US release I'm going to find a way to get this and if it comes out on the NA side then I'll get that if possible. This is one of my favorite games on the PSP, now if Infinity reaches the US side then wee'd have a double hitter in my book.
if you're a big fun of the previous title, just get the japanese version guys
from what i see in GEB, Japanese version of this franchise gives 3x more DLC than the NA one. (and i found most DLC missions are more enjoyable than the original missions once you've mastered the game)
also pre order the japanese version usually gives exclusive bonus :
GE : gives a set of weapons and some missions
GEB : gives some exclusive NPC (ogre erick, bikini alisa, buttler soma, tsubaki, etc)
