PlatinumGames next project is Astral Chain

The next project from the innovative Japanese studio is a future police action adventure.

In the near future, aliens have begun attacking the city of ARK. Neuron, the special police force of the city, are deployed to take on the threat. Players will be able to select one of a pair of twins, linking up with a powerful LEGION weapon — a sort of humanoid robot that is “chained” to the protagonist. The game’s twist will involve the pairing of human and LEGION, as both are tied together and will require certain tactics to survive battles in melee or ranged combat.

The visuals appear striking, and the feel should be familiar: the game is designed by NieR: Automata’s Takahisa Taura with Hideki Kamiya providing supervision.

Expect ASTRAL CHAIN to arrive August 30, 2019 exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
