SEGA has announced that their next Project DIVA game, Project DIVA X, will be released on March 24, 2016 in Japan for the price of 6,990 yen (excluding tax). The official website for the game has also been updated. Those who preorder the game will get an Arcade Aime Card, allowing you to store data from arcade games.
Sony’s Black Friday sales on the EU PlayStation Store, running until November 30, features several SEGA and Atlus games at a heavily discounted price! As usual, we compiled all the SEGA and Atlus games in the list below. Sony’s official blog post didn’t include the price in British Pound, but we added those to the list as well. There’s a similar sale on the US PSN, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to include any SEGA or Atlus games.
Last month, Atlus and VanillaWare posted a character trailer for Velvet, one of the playable characters in Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir. For more information on that, and some details about the character’s background story, take a look at our article here. As a follow-up to that trailer, Atlus has now posted a new gameplay trailer for Velvet. As shown in the trailer, Velvet has a graceful fighting style, using a chain called Gravryl to launch attacks against her enemies. Her more powerful attacks may take up the entire screen (as you can see towards the end of the video). We included the trailer below.
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is scheduled to be released on January 14 in Japan for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita. A release in North America is planned in 2016.
A rather lengthy trailer has been released for Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition, featuring all of the game’s playable and support characters. The trailer also reveals that the game supports online play between the PS3 and PS4. Those who buy a first-print copy of the game will receive a free theme (specific for the platform it was purchased on). You can take a look at the trailer below!
The game is scheduled for a release on December 17 in Japan, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. A release in the West hasn’t been announced yet, but the original Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax (PS3 and PS Vita) was released in the US and EU in October this year.
Today marks the second anniversary for our website! It’s hard to imagine that we’ve been around for two years already. And while this year wasn’t the biggest in terms of SEGA game releases, a lot of changes have taken place at Sega, and several surprising announcements have been made. Below you’ll find an overview of some of the main stories we reported on over the past year.
In our previous update we showed you the new trailer for Valkyria Azure Revolution, along with a link to the official website. Aside from the new screenshots on the website, SEGA also posted some more artwork and screenshots on their official Twitter account. We bundled all of them in this post, so feel free to take a look!
SEGA have posted another update on their official SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project website. Here’s a complete overview of all the details!
We explained the five different areas, each having their own element, in the game’s Live Quest mode in the previous update. In short, there are five areas/elements: “Neutral”, “Cute”, “Cool”, “Beauty” and “Chaos”. You advance through these areas by clearing quests, which in turn means playing the rhythm game.
SEGA have posted a new trailer for Puyo Puyo!! Touch, their upcoming mobile game for iOS and Android. The gameplay differs from regular Puyo Puyo in the sense that you need to swipe Puyo’s around. Swiping one Puyo on top of another one will make the latter change to the colour of the Puyo you dragged on top of it. Connect four or more Puyo’s of the same color and they’ll be cleared from the board. Clearing them also allows you to “fire” at objects outside of the board, as you can see in the trailer.
Atlus U.S.A. had been teasing an announcement today involving a new collector’s edition for one of their games, and they’ve now revealed that they will be releasing a special version of Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir called the “Storybook Edition”, exclusive to PS4. Aside from a copy of the PS4 edition, it also contains a collector’s metal slipcase, a potion recipe T-Shirt, premium outer box, 64-page hardcover art book and a mystery art print.
Famitsu posted the first screenshots of Valkyria: Azure Revolution, the RPG set in the Valkyria Chronicles universe which was announced yesterday for PS4. While they’re in a low resolution, they do give us some idea of the game’s art style and graphics. And the difference in style is certainly apparent. The art style reminds me more of Shining Resonance than Valkyria Chronicles, which may make sense given that the developer of Shining Resonance was Media Vision, which is also in charge of this game. That said, we’ve yet to see high resolution screenshots and a video of the game in motion, so it’s difficult to form an opinion of it just yet. Aside from the Valkyria: Azure Revolution screenshots, Famitsu also posted two low-res screenshots of the PS4 remaster of Valkyria Chronicles. Take a look at the screenshots below!
