ASTRAL CHAIN™, a new action game from PlatinumGames, will be available exclusively on Nintendo Switch! As a member of a special police unit, you'll have to fight mysterious alien-like creatures.
In Ark, a multicultural city in the not-too-distant future, portals to another dimension have suddenly appeared. Dangerous creatures have emerged from them, attacking the inhabitants and polluting the land. The regular police forces are powerless: it will be up to a special unit, called Neuron, to face the threat.
In the game, you'll find two playable characters: a boy and a girl. You'll have to choose between one of them, and the other, your younger twin, will accompany you on your adventure as a member of Neuron.
To oppose the mysterious creatures, humanity has developed a special weapon: Legion. Legion acts as your companion and helps you in your investigations. However, it's in combat that it proves its full usefulness...
Join forces with Legion against enemies. You can attack the same target simultaneously or select different enemies. If you prefer, you can also send Legion to attack while you assist it with various tools from the rear. Use this synergistic action system to fight and explore with Legion!
The concept and planning for ASTRAL CHAIN were handled by Takahisa Taura, the game designer of Nier:Automata, making his directorial debut. Hideki Kamiya, the creator of the Bayonetta series, is in charge of supervising the project. The character design, on the other hand, is entrusted to manga artist Masakazu Katsura, creator of ZETMAN and Video Girl Ai.
