Earth no longer resembles the home we know of now. The Aragami, terrifying beasts that live only to consume, are carving a path of destruction and misery wherever they are encountered.

To combat this threat an elite group of heroes known as God Eaters are called upon to save humanity. God Eaters are individuals who have been bestowed upon them the ability to wield powerful new God Arcs, special weapons powered by Oracle Cells and the only known weapons capable of destroying the monstrous Aragami. However, another mission is coming into focus; something is happening to the God Eaters and the line between light and dark has never been so thin.

It’s time to start breaking free from the cursed shackles that bind the souls of the God Eaters as the battle rages on around them.

The new details focus on Claire Victorious, a new character to the franchise, new actions players can perform in battle, and a new Aragami to fight.

Claire Victorious:

Claire is a qualified God Eater who specializes in logistical support and first aid.

Nuadha:

A gigantic Aragami who uses his monstrous left hand to smash the player character.

Dive:

A new action the player can perform that lets them rush towards an Aragami or make an urgent escape from impending doom.

Burst Art and Burst Art Effect:

A special attack that players can perform while in Burst Mode. Burst Attacks can be customized into three attacks depending on the positioning of the player: on the ground, in the air, or while performing a quickstep maneuver. Each Burst Art can also be customized with a Burst Art Effect, which augments the Burst Art to the player’s preference. For example, add Rage Smash to a Burst Art attack to create an additional massive shock wave in front of the player.

Many regions of the world, known as the Ashlands, have become uninhabitable, forcing humanity to live in underground shelters called Ports. Within the Ashlands are fierce new Ash Aragami such as Anubis and Ra, which provide the ultimate challenge for God Eaters.

Adaptive God Eaters are closer to Aragami than God Eaters in the past, making them stronger and deadlier in combat, while also resistant to the Ashlands deadly air. One of these new Adaptive God Eaters is Hugo Pennywort. Hugo is quick-witted and a man of action, making him a substantial leader. The protagonist and Hugo grew up together and consider each other brothers.

The Biting Edge God Arc is a dual bladed weapon that focuses on quick slashes and stabbing attacks. The Ray Gun can provide an extremely strong ranged attack provided it is timed correctly. God Eater 3 also introduces the Engage System and Accelerator Trigger. The Engage System is activated when team mates stay close to each other during missions to help promote close team work when striking Aragami. The Accelerator Trigger is a new passive skill that are activated with certain requirements such as performing a perfect guard.

God Eater 3 will be available for the PS4 and for PC (Steam).
