School is back in session as En Masse Entertainment will be bringing the episodic anime beat-‘em-up, Closers to North American and European gamers later this year.

The online action RPG follows the exploits of an elite team of psychic teens in the futuristic city of New Seoul as they balance the everyday obligations of high school life with the daunting task of saving all of civilization from an army of invading interdimensional aliens. In Closers, you will become an elite agent of UNION, an organization dedicated to dealing with the threat of interdimensional aliens spilling through a series of mysterious portals that have appeared throughout New Seoul. 

At launch, players will choose one of five playable members of the Black Lambs team: Seha, a reluctant combat genius, Sylvi, the dedicated leader, Yuri, the skilled martial artist who only recently discovered her powers, Misteltein, a prodigious young boy with amazing support skills, and J, the grizzled veteran with a troubled past. Each character’s unique personality and combat style will allow players to chart their own path through a complex, branching narrative, upgrading their skills and weapons along the way, and unlocking amazing new powers in a quest to snuff out a gargantuan interdimensional threat.

Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the Western debut of Closers won’t have to wait much longer, as the game enters into a series of Closed Alpha tests (sign up here) beginning in September, with the Beta to follow this fall.
