**********

Hertfordshire, 7th September 2016- Koei Tecmo is happy to announce today the on-site games line-up for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. From the 15th until the 18th of September Koei Tecmo Games will be exhibiting an exciting and robust line up in Tokyo, complete with hands-on demos, game presentations, and brand new trailers!

This will include a number of titles already confirmed for western release, as well as previously unannounced titles that will reach the west within 2017.

Berserk (working title)

Omega Force’s interactive entertainment adaptation of one of the most brutal and unrelenting anime and manga titles will be available to visitors for a hands-on demo for the first time! Slated for release on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and digitally for the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam®, the game will closely follow the events of the most well-known story arcs from the iconic manga’s narrative, focusing on the daring and heroic life of Guts as he cuts his way through a sinister realm of magical and demonic fiends.

Berserk (working title) fuses the signature ‘one versus thousands’ style action of the long-running Warriors franchise with the grim and gruesome atmosphere of the world of Berserk. As players harness the power of Guts’ Great Sword and utilise the swift and agile swordplay of Griffith to slash and smash through hordes of enemies, players familiar with the Warriors series will be able to feel the difference in gameplay through the way each character handles combat. The game will also incorporate various battle mechanics to better bring the world of Berserk to life, such as Magic and Transformations.
