posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Sony unveiled an "Arslan Senki x Musou Limited Edition" PlayStation 4 system on Tuesday. The limited edition variant promotes Koei Tecmo Games' upcoming Arslan: The Warriors of Legend (Arslan Senki x Musou) action game.
The system comes in both jet black and glacier white colors. Both have an Arslan: The Warriors of Legend-themed design featuring the characters Arslan, Daryun, and Narsus laser-etched on the hard drive bay cover. The bundle will not include a copy of the Arslan: The Warriors of Legend game itself.
Sony will release the PlayStation 4 variant on October 1, coinciding with the game's release.
Koei Tecmo Games and Omega Force are developing the Warriors-style game based on Hiromu Arakawa and Yoshiki Tanaka's The Heroic Legend of Arslan manga. Players will be able to reenact scenes from the manga in the game. The game's story will start with the battle of Atropatene.
The game's website streamed the game's second promotional video on Friday.
The game's confirmed playable characters so far include Arslan, Falangies, Daryun, Narsus, Elam, Gieve, Alfried, and Kishward.
The game's Mardān Rush feature will allow players to lead a troop of soldiers and deliver heavy damage to the enemy army. Players will be able to control cavalry, archers, or infantry to utilize each group's special abilities. The feature will allow players to overcome obstacles, attack distant opponents, and rescue allies in strategic gameplay. The game's Charge Shift mechanic allows players to string multiple combos by changing weapons.
The game will contain more than 200 Skill Cards that can change a character's abilities, and it will also feature side stories that will go deeper into the story.
The game was originally slated to ship in Japan on September 17, but it has been delayed until October 1. No Xbox One release has been announced in Japan.
The game's regular edition will retail in Japan for 7,800 yen (about US$63), and the download edition will retail for 6,762 yen (US$54). Koei Tecmo Games will also release a "Treasure Box" edition of the game that will come with the following: an original soundtrack CD, an "Official Settings Documents Collection," a crystal frame stand, and a cleaner cloth. The Treasure Box edition retails for 12,800 yen (US$103).
