Capcom have shown off some lengthy play footage from the start of Asura’s Wrath.
A new trailer shows Wizen, Sergei, Carlo, Olga, Deuce, and Mithra.
On January 10, Capcom will release a downloadable demo for Asura’s Wrath. Players will get to try the Tokyo Game Show demo, Chapter 11, where a six armed Asura fights Angus on the Moon.
Capcom plans to release a demo of CyberConnect2′s action game Asura’s Wrath on January 10. The downloadable demo is based on the Tokyo Game Show version.
CyberConnect 2 president, Hiroshi Matsuyama, features in a Japanese commercial for Asura’s Wrath.
“There’s never an easy time to launch new IP and getting them to stick is pretty much the most difficult (but essential) task in our business,” says Capcom’s Christian Svensson.
Yes, that’s a giant finger and a scene from Capcom’s campy Asura’s Wrath TV commercial.
Amazon and Best Buy have their own pre-order bonuses, too, but those are a little less interesting.
Capcom set February 21, 2012 as Asura’s Wrath’s release date in North America. Japan gets the game two days later on February 23 plus a limited edition only sold on Capcom’s online store.
By using your head (literally).
CyberConnect 2’s action game will be released in February.
“As a product, I think it’s going downhill,” CyberConnect 2 CEO, Hiroshi Matsuyama, says about present-day anime.
While Asura’s Wrath isn’t their first game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, it is CyberConnect2′s first time using Unreal Engine 3.
Usually, the list is filled with familiar franchises, but this year a number of new IPs such as Asura’s Wrath, Dragon’s Dogma, and Binary Domain received honors.
