ASTRAL CHAIN - Nintendo Switch Trailer - Nintendo E3 2019

The few survivors of a massive global disaster gather together in a futuristic megacity. Now it’s your job to protect them against otherworldly invaders–but you’re not alone as a member of a special police task force equipped with sentient armaments called Legions. In this brand-new action game from PlatinumGames, control the protagonist and a Legion simultaneously to chain stylish combos. Change Legions on the fly to vary your style and unleash a variety of abilities. The last remnants of humanity depend on you, and to save the world, you must investigate its dark side. Astral Chain launches on the Nintendo Switch on August 30th, 2019.

The visuals, the music, the gameplay.

Platinum never ceases to amaze.

I'm REALLY looking forward to getting this/playing it.

“First off, I should start by saying that we didn’t start working on Astral Chain thinking we’d make a cyberpunk game. We were actually trying to make a fantasy game where you would use magic.

What you see now is the result of talking a lot with Nintendo along through the development process, because we realized that there were lots of other games set in a fantasy setting. We wanted to make Astral Chain stand out among other games. And that’s what you see now.


While we were making it, actually, I was influenced by a lot of different anime that I liked. For example, Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed. And we used designs like that as a motif to build the setting that you see before you now.”

I'm hooked with this game because of the story and gameplay.

[Twilitblack]

Judging from the music from both trailers, I'm eagerly wanting to hear more from this game OST. It's so good.

[jetstreamsam]

In my own subjective opinion, if you weren't satisfied with this Direct, then there really is no satisfying you.

*HIGH-TECH FUTURISTIC STANDO POWAH*
In all seriousness, though, this looks amazing and I need it badly.

I still remember seeing this trailer at E3. It was my first time seeing this game, and I was immediately hooked. I dedicated the next few months to pursuing the latest news and trailers pertaining to Astral Chain. Fast forward to Christmas 2019, and I finally got the game, and I was able to beat it in under a week, a week I literally spent depriving myself of sleep just to play more of the game! I absolutely love this game! The gameplay, the music, the art direction, the story, it's all so good! A definite recommendation to anyone who's remotely interested in this game and an amazing Switch exclusive title!

I see that P star logo and I know it'll be quality.

[chungusmogus]

Platinum Games is a blessing, I cannot wait for this game.

[TomWiz]

But can Legions deflect the Emerald Splash?

[ozzie]

In PlatinumGame we trust. Day F*cking One!!!

[williamcousins]

This game is being mad slept on. Just from the looks of these trailers this looks like a possible contender for a GOTY nominee imo

[tjrksxc]

E3: shows a cool game
Me: I'm going to buy that
E3: shows 5 more cool games
Me: I'm going to buy those
Also me: looks at bank account where did my money go

[minusp]

The game that will force me to buy a Switch. Loved NieR Automata.

[lincolnbeckett]

I'm already obsessed with this game. It was something I was actually looking forward to seeing appear in this direct and I'm not disappointed. The action, the music. Everything about about this has gotten me so hyped to play this game one day!!!!

[joshcolon]

Ok, I'm actually hyped for this. The whole concept and design are really good.

[codepizza]

I'm amazed how well they utilize Masakazu Katsura's artwork. The visuals and gameplay concept is outstanding

[quehay]

No collector's edition for the American continent?

Also, this is pretty much the closest thing we are getting to a Metal Gear Rising sequel. Count me in.
