Biggest Surprises From the Nintendo Direct
PlatinumGames’ Astral Chain Looks Spectacular
Astral Chain is a brand-new exclusive action title that is being developed for the Nintendo Switch by none other than PlatinumGames, the studio behind titles like Bayonetta and NieR Automata. We also have Hideki Kamiya, creator of the Bayonetta series as supervisor, and character designs by Masakazu Katsura, creator of ZETMAN and Video Girl Ai.
Needless to say, there are some pretty awesome folks that are part of Astral Chain and it just looks super rad.
As part of a police task force, it’s up to you to defeat alien-like creatures by choosing to play as either a boy or a girl, two playable characters that are both on the screen at all times. Combat is done by controlling the character you choose, with the other supporting you with synergetic attacks and combos.
Astral Chain is due for release on August 30 on the Switch.
