DEFY GODS WRATH! GOD EATER IS COMING TO THE WEST!

DEFY GODS WRATH! GOD EATER IS COMING TO THE WEST!

Turn the tide of mankind’s fate in the war against the Aragami in two GOD EATER games. 

Sydney, Australia – December 22nd, 2015 – BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe, announced today their plans to release two God Eater™ games in Europe, Middle-East, Africa and Australia. GOD EATER™ Resurrection and GOD EATER™ 2 Rage Burst will make their grand debut in summer 2016 on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®Vita and PC Digital!

In the early 2050s, unknown life forms called “Oracle cells” began their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. A ravenous appetite coupled with a remarkable adaptability quickly turned those cells into the Earth’s biggest foe: Aragamis. Giant and invulnerable enemies completely immune to conventional weapons: this is what the world was facing. However, an elite force, called God Eater, was formed to take them head-on by using the recently developed weapons known as “God Arcs”. In a world ravaged by mad gods, these “God Eaters” are engaged in a desperate war 

“In only 5 years, the God Eater franchise turned into a phenomenon in Japan, and Asia selling more than 3 million copies! This monster slaying universe isn’t only bound to games, as our teams managed to successfully expand the experience into other areas such as anime – available on Daisuki.net – but also manga and popular soundtracks. Our western fans have been asking to get their hands on a localized God Eater game, we heard them and to start with, we are bringing two of them! This is just the beginning as we are planning on bringing more exceptional content to our territories in a very near future.” Hervé Hoerdt, VP of Marketing and Digital at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe

These story-driven monster slaying Action-RPGs within a post-apocalyptic universe will be available in Europe, Middle-East, Africa and Australia starting summer 2016.
