God Eater 3 action demo for PS4 launches January 11 in the West

As we are nearing the release of God Eater 3 in the West, Bandai Namco announced today that a demo will be released on January 11 and will be playable until January 13.

The upcoming action demo of God Eater 3 will allow players to create a character and tackle Aragamis in single and multiplayer missions. Back in October, the very same demo was released in Japan but was followed up in November by a revised demo that is still available.

Here’s an overview of God Eater 3, via Bandai Namco:

Following the destruction of their home, GOD EATER 3 will see the game’s protagonists rescued by the crew of an Ash Crawler called Chrysanthemum. Ash Crawlers serve as the hub ships of the GOD EATER heroes and the sole lifeline for humans in this post-apocalyptic world. They’re covered with Anti-Aragami walls that protects the last remnants of humanity from the effects of the outside world, as well as housing Resonance Radars systems to seek out and destroy dangerous Aragami.

Following a devastating Ash Storm, The Chrysanthemum crew have lost their members that were capable of operating the Resonance Radar. To survive, they enlist the help of players to defeat the Aragami and restore the routes through the Ashlands. From their moving base, players will have to scout ahead into new and uncharted areas of the Ashlands, to safely guide the Caravan deeper into the world.

Also, revealed today is a new character Phym, a mysterious girl sporting a horn on her forehead. Met by the protagonists during a scouting mission, Phym is a vital part of the GOD EATER 3 story and their encounter with her will change both their lives forever.

The final feature revealed today is the Burst Arts special attack system. This is a move that players can use only during Burst Mode. The Burst Arts special attacks takes a different form depending on what the players are doing; running, jumping, be on the ground, or in the air. Players will be able to forge their own unique playstyle by choosing the perfect attack.

God Eater 3 will be available in North America on February 8, 2019 for the PlayStation 4.
