Atlus and Vanillaware’s latest title, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, is now available for pre-order via the PlayStation Store. The localized version of the game will arrive on September 22, 2020, after its original September 8, 2020 release date was bumped back slightly to accommodate the addition of a day-one update that adds an English dub as an option.
That dub wasn’t quite ready in time to add to the newest trailer, though. Titled “Doomsday,” the video highlights new footage, more characters, and lays out the game’s time-traveling premise. It’s also a showcase for Vanillaware’s uniquely lavish approach to 2D graphics and art direction.

The trailer also revealed a few more seconds of gameplay. While story segments are conveyed in a 2D, side-scrolling fashion, the main gameplay screen resembles a tactical display. Players issue orders to the Sentinels and their pilots as they fight giant invaders.
As for additional goodies, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim preorders will include an artbook at launch. PlayStation Store digital pre-orders will receive a digital edition of the art book, while physical retail pre-orders will reward a paperback one while supplies last. The game will cost $59.99 USD at launch.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim will release on September 22, 2020 for the PS4.
