With The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II set to be released for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita this fall, XSEED Games has released a new trailer and a set of English screenshots just in time for E3.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month after the events of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel‘s “decisive collision” so if you have yet to complete the first game in the series, you may want to steer clear of the video and story summary below, though nothing specific is actually spoiled.

Peace is but a memory.

In the wake of the Noble Faction’s occupation of Heimdallr, civil war has broken out across Erebonia. The provincial armies, loyal to the aristocracy and the Four Great Houses, have claimed many of the nation’s great cities in the name of the Noble Alliance. The Imperial Army, called back from the four corners of the Empire, has only just begun sweeping its counterattack.

After Rean managed to escape Trista with Celine and Valimar, he awakens in the mountains near his hometown uncertain what fate befell his friends, who bravely threw themselves in harm’s way to buy him time to flee.

Though the road will not be an easy one, Rean decides to take up his sword again, journeying across Erebonia with his Divine Knight, Valimar, in search of his friends from Class VII and a way to end the conflict before its price becomes far too dear…

Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity Screenshots and E3 2016 Trailer Released

Touhou-Scarlet-Curiosity-screenshot-(16)

As you may have heard, XSEED Games is also getting in on the localization of Touhou games and their first one happens to be an action RPG called >Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity. While they may have announced the title just last week, they already have a trailer and some new screenshots ready for E3.

Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity stars Remilia Scarlet and her maid Sakuya as they begin a journey in search for a mysterious monster in an effort to help relieve Remilia of her boredom. YOu can check out the video and new screenshots below alongside a rundown of the game from XSEED.

Immortality is boring. While one would imagine an all-powerful vampire has a lot to do, such is not the case for Remilia Scarlet. After 500 years, the Scarlet Devil is desperately searching for something new to grab her interest. One day, she finds exactly that when she stumbles upon a newspaper article about a powerful, mysterious monster wreaking havoc across the countryside. Her curiosity piqued, she runs out to investigate this disturbance, letting the tabloids guide her to just where it might be.

After an unsuccessful first investigation, she returns to find her mansion in ruins. It seems the monster has brought the fight to her! Vowing revenge, Remilia sets out with a renewed sense of determination: she will find this monster, and she will make it pay! …And, at least for a time, she might not be quite so bored.

  • Acclaimed Indie Title Makes Jump to Console – Originally released as a fan-made indie title for PC, Scarlet Curiosity instantly gained a following for its beautiful soundtrack, impressive art direction, and high-speed action, and the leap to PS4 further refines the game with 1080p visuals running at a smooth 60 frames per second.
  • Two Characters for Twice the Adventure – Players can choose to play as the titular vampire, Remilia Scarlet, who relies on her magic and vampiric abilities to defeat enemies at her own pace, or her devoted maid, Sakuya Izayoi, who prefers close combat as she tears things up with her time control powers and infinite supply of knives.
  • Familiar Friends and Fearsome Foes – Fans of the Touhou series will find themselves right at home as the game is packed to the gills with fan-favorite characters, some of whom will challenge Remilia and Sakuya to intense boss battles that fill the screen with projectiles in a manner worthy of the renowned Touhou ‘king of bullet hell’ name.
  • Action and RPG in Equal Measure – While containing all of the combat, platforming, and boss fights of an action game, experience and equipment systems allow players to level up, toughen up, and unlock various special abilities and magic spells to customize their gameplay experience.

FUNimation Reveals Its Releases of the ‘Haruhi Suzumiya’ Anime

FUNimation Entertainment has revealed the details of its upcoming (re)releases of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime. The first season is being released in time for its 10th anniversary. The second season and all spin-offs will also be released.

The first and second seasons will be available individually and together on DVD and Blu-ray. The release will feature extras that were previously unavailable in North America, as well as some that were available on Bandai Entertainment’s release.

FUNimation will be releasing an Ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set of the series as well. It will feature both television seasons and the spinoffs: The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya, Nyoron! Churuya-san and The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan. These will all come in a collector’s chipboard box, which also contains a filler box with art cards. FUNimation notes that the filler box is the same size as a Blu-ray case. The most likely implication of this is that the film, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, will be rereleased on home video in North America.

The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya and Nyoron! Churuya-san will also be released separately on DVD. The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan will also be released separately in a DVD and Blu-ray combo pack.

War Rock pits Clan against Clan this June

New robust clan-based matchmaking system now available in multiplayer shooter

Berlin, Germany – 16th June 2016 – Free-to-play shooter, War Rock has received an update that adds a robust new Clan matchmaking system to the game, giving players the opportunity to team up with their buddies in game and take on other teams.

The update implements a new, streamlined auto-matchmaking system that makes easy for players to team up with their Clan and head into the action guns blazing. Players just need to create a waiting room that their members can join, select a map and mode and the game will do the rest; ensuring the clan is on the same team and pitting them against another clan.

An updated ranking system ups the competitive ante, stacking a clan‘s performance against others. Teams will earn points for winning matches, or have them deducted for losses.

In addition to overall team performance, the new Clan system ensures that the contribution of individual clan members is recognized.  Players can now easily access their personal record from the Clan Home page; from here they can view their Clan Battle Record which displays in game statistics such as number of wins and losses, win rate and clan dedication.

The new system also supports Friendly Clan Matches, which offer the same intense team-based battles but do not impact Clan Rankings. This means that clans can freely jump into matchups without putting it all on the line, and gives the perfect opportunity to get some team training in.

For further details on War Rock and the Clan Update please visit the official site at:http://en.warrock.nexoneu.com/.

Akiba’s Beat E3 Trailer Shows off New Gameplay Footage

Akibas-Beat-screenshot-005

XSEED Games announced last week that they are already planning on bringing the recently announced Akiba’s Beat over to North America for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita and now the company has released an E3 2016 trailer for the title showing off brand new English footage that hasn’t even been shown off in Japan yet.

You can check out the video below and as for the game’s story, Akiba’s Beat follows Asahi Tachibana, a textbook NEET living in Tokyo’s electronic district of Akihabara, who gets caught in a temporal loop where Sunday repeats each day. Together with six other characters the group must locate “delusions” that have been made real and destroy them in order to restore Akihabara to its natural state.

A full description for the story of the game has been provided by XSEED Games and you can read it below:

NEET: Short for “No Experience, Education, or Training.” Typically considered to be underskilled shut-ins who live by themselves in humble yet comfortable apartments, NEETs are known to mooch off their parents’ good will to play video games and watch anime all day instead of looking for work.

Asahi Tachibana is a textbook NEET, living a lazy, cozy life in Akihabara, the infamous Tokyo suburb renowned for its proliferation of anime and video game merchandise, maid cafes, pop idols, and all other forms of counterculture indulgence. To him, every day is Sunday, and every Sunday is a fun day.

Little does he know, however, that every day is about to become Sunday for real! Caught in a temporal loop, where the day restarts as soon as it ends, Asahi is one of only a chosen few whose memories don’t reset with it. He and his merry band of time-displaced losers must now scour Akihabara for signs of “delusions” – people’s innermost fantasies made manifest, changing the cityscape and the behavior of its citizens alike. It is the duty of this ragtag team (whether they like it or not) to infiltrate and destroy these delusions, restoring the natural order of Akiba in the vain hope that this loop may be their last.

During the course of this increasingly improbably quest, Asahi and his companions will unravel a deep, twisted mystery that blurs the line between the physical world and that of mankind’s innermost desires. Can this band of misfits restore normalcy (or what passes for normalcy) to Akihabara? Or will they succumb to the will of the enigmatic pink-caped man, who seems to be the key to everything…?
