Aragami is a 3D stealth game in which you control a warrior with the power of Shadow Control.

Players will control Aragami, an undead assassin with supernatural abilities summoned back from the grave by Yamiko, a mysterious girl with ties to Aragami's past. Yamiko is being imprisoned by Kaiho - The army of Light - whose warriors guard the heavily fortified citadel of Kyûryu.

Using his newly acquired Shadow Powers, Aragami can manipulate darkness to become the ultimate ninja assassin. Players will need to use all their supernatural powers, wit and cunning to defeat their enemies.

Aragami is a game heavily inspired by old-school stealth games like Tenchu and Metal Gear Solid, and more recent gems like Mark of the Ninja and Dishonored. Use your powers to play as a Ghost, remaining undetected and getting to your target without a whisper. Or you can play a total Demon, slaying everyone in your path and using your powers to wreak havoc on those who would stand against you.

Lince Works have announced Aragami: Shadow Edition for Xbox One.

“We are huge fans of stealth games, but we feel that in the last few years ‘stealth’ in games has been diluted and doesn’t pose the same challenge. We wanted to fix that with Aragami, where you are outmatched, outnumbered, and alone.”  - David Leon, Aragami Lead Designer.

Aragami: Shadow Edition includes the original base game, the upcoming expansion Aragami Nightfall and all currently released DLC. The game and expansion support full 2 player online co-op in cross-platform multiplayer between console and PC.

Aragami Nightfall is a 4-chapter prequel that takes place right before the events of the base game and fills key narrative points left open in the original game. 2 new playable characters, all-new deadly shadow powers, and an expanded storyline that can all be played in single player or cross-platform online co-op are all coming soon.

Aragami: Nightfall is designed around the idea of offering new challenges and more complex scenarios to experienced Aragami players. The success of the original game, with over 400 000 copies soldso far has led to substantial fanbase whose feedback of the original game helped guide the team on how to develop the additional content.

Aragami: Nightfall will be coming out in the next few months on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Mac.

Aragami Shadow Edition will launch simultaneously alongside the release of the expansion in the next few months for $24.99 / 24,99€ / £19.99. Prior to release, all existing PC and PS4 players will get a substantial performance and optimization patch.
