KOEI TECMO CONFIRMS TITLES BOUND FOR WESTERN RELEASE
Berserk (working title)
Omega Force’s interactive entertainment
adaptation of one of the most brutal and unrelenting anime and manga titles
will be available to visitors for a hands-on demo for the first time! Slated
for release on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and digitally
for the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system and Windows PC via
Steam®, the game will closely follow the events of the most well-known story
arcs from the iconic manga’s narrative, focusing on the daring and heroic life
of Guts as he cuts his way through a sinister realm of magical and demonic
fiends.
Berserk (working title)
fuses the signature ‘one versus thousands’ style action of the long-running
Warriors franchise with the grim and gruesome atmosphere of the world of Berserk.
As players harness the power of Guts’ Great Sword and utilise the swift and
agile swordplay of Griffith to slash and smash through hordes of enemies,
players familiar with the Warriors series will be able to feel the difference
in gameplay through the way each character handles combat. The game will also
incorporate various battle mechanics to better bring the world of Berserk to
life, such as Magic and Transformations. To stay in touch with all the
