Combining frantic real-time combat, a thrilling sense of scale, smartly interwoven cooperative play and meaningful character customisation – not to mention contributions from gaming legends like designer Keiji Inafune and composer Yasunori Mitsuda – we believe Soul Sacrifice is one of the most exciting titles on the PS Vita release slate.
For weeks now, you’ve been asking for more information about the game’s Western release and finally we can answer those questions!
Soul Sacrifice for PS Vita launches in stores and via PlayStation Network across Europe on 1st May 2013! We’re not quite ready to reveal our final box art just yet, but rest assured that the studio is working on something really epic that we look forward to sharing with you very soon!
It includes two unique costumes with which players can customise their character…
…and three magic items to aid players in battle:
- Spirits’ Flamepike – Shards of the spear provided by Fire spirits, unleashing a five hit combo attack with heat effects
- Spirits’ Blightstone – Explosive stones with poison effects provided by the spirits
- Spirits’ Fulgurwood – Root provided by the Thunder spirits. Tracks enemies on the ground and attacks with thunders spell
And there’s more! Do you prefer to play with Japanese audio tracks wherever possible? Then you might want to pre-order…
Reserve Soul Sacrifice and, in addition to the in-game costume and magic bundle, you’ll also receive the Japanese voice-over pack for free. This pack will be sold separately, but the only way to get it right at launch for no added cost is to pre-order.
Thrilled to finally be able to reveal a release date to European gamers, Project Lead Keiji Inafune had this to say:
“I’m excited that we are finally able to announce the release date of Soul Sacrifice. I have put all my passion and soul into the game’s concept and my talented team has made an incredible effort to create the best game it could ever be. I’m confident that we’ve created an extremely engaging game that you will enjoy playing.
“The game has become nothing like any other game with an original and deep world settings which could only be possible in a dark fantasy environment. I’m looking forward to you being able to experience the unique adventure of real heroism in Soul Sacrifice. Immerse yourself in the world of Soul Sacrifice and have fun playing it!”
There’s plenty of information left to share and reveal for Soul Sacrifice. Keep coming back to PlayStation Blog for more updates!
A DLC language track? That’s a new one.
I had the opportunity to play the Japanese demo. It’s incredible! Definitely getting it once it’s released here.
demo will come to Europe ?
Hey Chris, great news!
Can you tell us what will be the price for this game, both GBP and EUR?
Also can you PLEASE put Mass Effect 3 on sale if possible (DLC also if possible)?
OMFG awsome! was scared EU would be left out hanging to dry! Wohoo:p
Now lets hope we can preorder it via the playstation store! March is gonna be the month that Vita will kick some 3ds ass!
AGAIN OMG YUSS!!!
The American box art on their blog looks cool so just go with that. This is definitely a day 1 buy for me. Really looking forward to getting my hands on it.
YESSSSSS!
I cannot wait, this is brilliant news!
Soul Sacrifice is finally coming!!! This game is what I’ve been looking forward to play on my PS Vita for quite some time. I think it resembles Dark/Demon’s Souls, but I’m confident Mr. Inafune would never let it be a mere clone of those games. I expect more to be revealed about this game in the coming months, because I have only a vague idea about it.
Just explain please. Can I preorder a physical copy? I don’t want large games on memory card, especially ones I intend to play for a very long time.
This game just looks fantastic, will be a day one download. Looking forward to hearing more about it and other vita games like Killzone.
This is great news, March is going have quite a few new games for Vita!
I just have a few questions;
Will this be a retail release or digital only?
Do you have an approximate size for the download?
Do you know what the price is likely to be in the UK?
Thanks :)
Game looks great. Day 1 purchase for me
