Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas PC Game's 2nd Promo Streamed

The studio Nitroplus began streaming a 110-second promotional video for Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas, its computer adventure game prequel based on the Guilty Crown anime. The video reveals that the single CD of Kanako Itou's theme song will ship in Japan on April 25.

The game is set a decade before the anime on December 25, 2029. On that day, the "Apocalypse Virus" devastated the land in an incident known as "Lost Christmas." Against this backdrop, the game will reveal a previously untold story of the events leading up to the anime.

Takahiro Sakurai will play Scrooge, Kana Asumi will play Carol, Ayahi Takagaki will play Past, and Yū Kobayashi will play Present. Jin Haganeya (Demonbane game) wrote the original scenario for the game, and Chuuouhigashiguchi created the original artwork. Both are involved in the anime itself, which premiered on Fuji TV's late-night Noitamina programming block last October. Nitroplus posted the game's first promotional video in January, and began streaming a "Ver.1.5" trailer last month.

Nitroplus announced on Monday game has been delayed from May 31 to July 26 due to "production" issues. The regular version will cost 5,040 yen (about US$61), and the limited edition will bundle a 12-minute anime short from Production I.G and retail for 7,140 yen (about US$86).
