Players take control of Kenshiro as they progress through an alternate universe of the original story, explore the post-apocalyptic wastes of the Earth in a customizable buggy, and tear through groups of thugs using Kenshiro's signature Hokuto Shinken techniques.

Life in a post-apocalyptic world isn't easy; dealing with rampant crime, foiling myriad assassination attempts, and traversing miles of sun-scorched desert every day can take a toll on even the most seasoned wasteland survivor.

As you might expect from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Lost Paradise's world is packed with character-developing and world-building side missions, as well as a collection of hilarious minigames. From buggy races and rhythm-based Hokuto Shinken chiropractic therapy sessions, to managing a nightclub and more, there are plenty of adventures that explore the world outside of battle in new and creative ways. Combat and character progression also play major roles in Lost Paradise. Kenshiro fights using classic Hokuto Shinken assassination techniques unlocked with experience earned throughout the story, by defeating enemies, and completing side missions and minigames.

Fans who can't wait until launch to try out the game can get a feel for Kenshiro's *explosive* Hokuto Shinken abilities and explore the city of Eden and the post-apocalyptic wasteland surrounding it in the Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise Demo, available on the Playstation Store today.

In this demo, players will get to choose between two different gameplay modes: Battle Mode and Adventure Mode.

• Battle Mode: Relive the Fist of the North Star manga and experience the first major boss battle in the game against Kenshiro's nemesis, Shin.
• Adventure Mode: Take your first steps into the city of Eden, where the main story of Lost Paradise takes place. Try your hand at building a buggy and take it out into the wasteland to hunt down important materials and roving bands of lowlifes or test your driving skill in the relentless buggy race!

Additionally, downloading the demo will reward players with a free PS4 theme featuring the cast of Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. This theme will be available starting on the game's release day, October 2, 2018!
