As part of a police special task force, it's up to you to fight against mysterious, alien-like creatures who have invaded the world.

In the Ark, a multi-cultural city in the near future, disaster strikes when gates to another dimension suddenly appear! Dangerous creatures begin to emerge, attacking the people and polluting the land, and normal police forces are unable to compete with them. To stand up against these threats, a brand new, special police unit known as Neuron is formed.

Choose between two playable characters – one male, one female – on your adventure. The character you don't choose also appears as your younger twin, and a fellow member of Neuron.

Work together with the Legion and use all sorts of combat styles to fight your enemies. You could both attack the same enemy simultaneously, target different opponents, or send your Legion on the offensive while you support it with items. Use this synergetic action system to battle and explore together!

They should release a demo for this. I don't think the trailer sold what the combat system is supposed to be.

Can't wait for this game. Hopefully a demo comes out to try it.

I'll buy it anyways just to support Platinum release

This game has "won't sell well" written all over it, but still looks good.

I'm really glad Ninty is pushing this one a lot more compared to W101. August is gonna be lit between this and Control!

Yup this is one of my most anticipated games of the year. Pre-ordered and everything and I rarely do that :P

I'm sure they will tell more about the combat later on, a feature at E3 would be pretty expected I'd say.

"The character you don't choose also appears as your younger twin, and a fellow member of Neuron."

Younger twin? How much age difference could there be? A few minutes?

EDIT: I was asking "Why does it matter? Why does anyone care? Of what possible actual significance could it possibly be? Doesn't humanity have more serious issues to contend with than the relative ages of twins?"

It was a rhetorical question. No more answers, please.

I didn't realise how much I want this game. The art and world look right up my ally. Gives me a Freedom Wars vibe, but with more future and less... Fucked up cheap/rich future.

Yes, they are. The Platinum and Nintendo websites were just updated with them with the new story details. Nintendo just tweeted this, too.

No, they're not. I've had them since February 13 when I got them from Platinum's website along with a bunch more. This same thing has happened about twice before with this game and it will probably happen again. Every time I see "New Astral Chain screenshots" I already know they're old ones before checking. What's more, a lot of the screenshots released so far are just screengrabs from the trailer to begin with.

I obviously know it's not fully explorable, however I do hope we have some sense of freedom in the city.

No way the final product comes out that clean. I just hope the framerate is stable, even if they cap it at 30.

Can't wait for the Switch 2 remaster, this looks too clean, lmao.

Seriously, though, so damn cool. Expecting great things from Taura!

Don't think these are new, but I appreciate the confidence and the constant tweets about it.
Was disappointed that with bayo2 on switch, they basically didn't tweet about it till it released but they're doing more for this game.
Excited for it
