Latest Bandai Namco trademark hints at God Eater 2: Rage Burst localization

January 23, 2015

It looks like Bandai Namco just might be bringing God Eater 2: Rage Burst to the West if this recent trademark filing is anything to go by. Today NeoGAF members found that the company had recently trademarked “Rage Burst” in Europe which is the subtitle for the recently announced God Eater 2 port for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

It is worth noting that the first God Eater title was not released in the West until its enhanced version, Gods Eater Burst, was released in Japan and then localized so it is entirely possible that Bandai Namco is following the same trend with the sequel.

A new “Orience News” trailer for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD has been released by Square Enix and this one is a Combat Special which means that it focuses on detailing the combat system that will be used in the game once it is released in mid-March. Players will be fighting in parties of three but since there are fourteen members of Class Zero, anyone who falls in combat can be replaced by a member in the reserves, even if all three are defeated at once.

Each member of Class Zero has unique skills and specialties that they can use to defeat enemies and when an enemy is defeated, they will leave behind a Phantoma that can be used to increase the power of a cadet’s magic. Check out the combat as well as a number of other combat mechanics in the trailer below.

The successor to top down tactical shooter Breach & Clear is taking on a distinctly horror feel. Breach & Clear: Deadline mixes the tactical strategy of the original game with an unending stream of the undead.

Players will lead their elite squad into Harbor City as they attempt to track down and neutralize the source of the infection. Harbor City is a huge metropolis with several distinct districts filled with dynamically generated areas. As they engage in battle, their squad will level up and get their hands on rare loot.

The game now adds a real-time strategy twist to the series with the brand new Action and Command modes.

Breach & Clear: Deadline is currently in pre-alpha. The developers hope to launch the complete game in a couple months time. Breach & Clear: Deadline is available now on Steam for $14.99 USD. The game is compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows.

If you are going to PAX South this weekend, be sure to check out Breach & Clear: Deadline at the Devolver Digital booth located at booth 1243.

RONIN Slashing its Way onto Linux, Mac, and Windows in Fall 2015

Devolver Digital (Shadow Warrior) and Tomasz Wacławek will be releasing RONIN later this year. The game is a turn-based action stealth platformer featuring a heroine on a bloody quest for vengeance. Her sights are set on assassinating five powerful members of a corporation. What dastardly thing they’ve done has yet to be revealed, but I’d guess it is along the lines of murdering a close family member.

Players will need to plan their attack and strike from the shadows using their katana and razor wire, then escape to safety with the holographic replicator and grappling hook. The game will come with 15 levels. No word on how much RONIN will cost just yet.

RONIN will be debuting at PAX South this weekend. Visitors can check out the game at Devolver Digital’s booth located at booth 1243.
