PlatinumGames Announce New Character Action Game

PlatinumGames, the studio behind the excellent Bayonetta 1 and 2, and the equally excellent Nier: Automata, are known for creating fast-paced, frenetic, yet still oh-so-stylish hack and slash gameplay in their games. Now Platinum have announced their next project: World of Demons, which seeks to bring their signature swordplay to mobile devices. 

Developed in collaboration with DeNA Games, the mobile devs behind Fire Emblem Heroes, World of Demons is set in a world of Japanese folklore where myths and tales like Yokai are real.. You will play as a samurai wandering this beautiful world tasked with defeating a powerful Demon King. throughout the game, players will also take command of their own Yokai minions to summon into who will do their bidding. 

Having been in development for the last three years, World of Demons is uniquely built from the ground up for touchscreen interface and features slick, stylish combat we've come to expect from Platinum. The game will launch with 3 samurai and more than 80 demons to recruit, with more of each being added over time. 

World of Demons is set o launch in summer of 2018 on iOS with an Android launch to follow-up later in the year.
