XSEED Games Confirms
SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS to Bounce onto PlayStation®Vita this Fall
High Flying, Over-the-Top Action Brawler Set for Debut Later this Year
Torrance, Calif., (May 8, 2014) XSEED
Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous
USA, Inc., today announced that the battle adventure title,
SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS, will be coming
exclusively to the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system as a
digital download later this fall. For the ultimate of fans, XSEED Games
will also be producing a limited run Lets Get Physical retail
version of the game, which will include a soundtrack CD and Shinobi
Syllabus containing profiles of the shinobi students, gameplay
strategies, and illustrations. The follow-up to last years Nintendo 3DS
hand-held system title,
SENRAN KAGURA Burst, SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS
takes the games signature over-the-top style and raises the bar in
every possible way, from characters to art style, combat mechanics and
story.
Ever since we announced SENRAN KAGURA Burst, PS Vita fans have been clamoring for
SHINOVI VERSUS, and were thrilled to be granting them their request, said Ken Berry, Executive Vice President of XSEED Games. The
SENRAN KAGURA
series has such deep and involving lore established through its games,
manga and anime, and the fanbase is extremely loyal we cant wait for
them to get their hands on
SHINOVI VERSUS.
SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS immediately follows the events of
Burst, revisiting the fierce rivalry between
the girls of Hanzô National Academy and their sworn enemies from Hebijo
Clandestine Girls Academy, the latter of which have now gone
underground and formed a mercenary strike team known as the Homura
Crimson
Squad. In addition to their old adversaries, the Hanzô girls must also
face a whole new set of foes: the students of Gessen Girls Academy, who
seek to punish them for their imperfections as shinobi warriors.
Meanwhile, a new class is in session at Hebijo,
and these students mean business: they oppose all three of the
competing factions and will stop at nothing to be the last shinobi squad
standing even if it means leaving broken bodies and shattered dreams
in their wake.
Throughout SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS, players will take control of characters from each of these schools, experiencing
the narrative from four distinct viewpoints via the original Japanese voice track coupled with English subtitles.
SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS
carries on the high energy side-scrolling battles of previous games in the series,
and fans can expect to find more of all of SENRAN KAGURAs
hallmark features ridiculous mid-air combos, over-the-top humor,
garments that explode
when characters take damage and special Secret Ninja Art techniques.
The game features 20 unique shinobi fighters for players to master, each
with her own unique
weapon, techniques and special moves, while Ninja Arts can be
exploited to change costumes and power up mid-battle. On top of the
single player game, up to four players can battle online to determine
which shinobi is the best of them all.
SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS
is developed by Tamsoft together with MarvelousAQL Inc. of
Japan, and will be released in North America for PS®Vita by XSEED Games
in fall 2014. XSEED Games will share more information in the coming
months.
