Japan gets El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron on April 28th.

The first playable build of El Shaddai made its debut at Tokyo Game Show, but Ignition’s Japan studio has been working on it for awhile.

Ignition set Arc Rise Fantasia’s release date as July 27, a week after the game ships to stores. Confusing? You bet.

During E3, Shane Bettenhausen briefed us on the game and explained why Lucifel, an angel living in the distant past, is holding a cell phone.
