Experience Inc. dürfte für viele Dungeon Crawler-Fans vor allem auf der PlayStation Vita ein Begriff sein, da sie schon für Demon Gaze und das kürzlich für den Westen angekündigte Stranger of Sword City verantwortlich waren.

Jetzt hat der westliche Publisher acttil bestätigt, dass Ray Gigant, das in Japan von Bandai Namco vertrieben wurde, im kommenden Frühling in Europa und Nordamerika ausschließlich digital veröffentlicht wird. In dem Spiel übernimmt man die Rolle von drei verschiedene Helden, die zwar alle die Welt retten wollen aber unterschiedliche Ideen haben, wie sie dies erreichen wollen. 

In der angehängten Galerie könnt ihr die ersten, japanischen Screenshots aus Ray Gigant betrachten. Zudem findet ihr in der nachfolgenden, offiziellen Pressemitteilung weitere Informationen zu dem Titel.

Story

This adventure is set in the near future…

Earth’s major cities have been ravaged by giant, terrifying creatures known as Gigants. Across the globe, military forces from every nation attempted to counter the attacks but, to their horror, failed miserably. In a twist of fate, it was reported that a boy named Ichiya Amakaze defeated a Gigant. The boy defeated the Gigants using a mysterious power called the Yorigami. This victory was short-lived, however. Ichiya lost control of his power and tragically destroyed the city he tried so hard to protect. After this fateful experience, he fell unconscious. Ichiya was then detained and sent to a safe location where his fate would soon unfold…

What are the Gigants?!

Gigants are mysterious, alien life-forms that have invaded Earth. Gigants of various shapes and sizes have been discovered, and they generally take upon forms of beasts from legend. However, unlike those mythical beasts, Gigants do not harbor a brilliant, celestial aura. Whatever aura they do possess is something much more vile…
