Originally published in Japan by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Summon Night 5 is an award-winning tactical role-playing game for Sony’s PSP™ handheld game system. Its protagonists are the Eucross, a group of summoners who maintain order and balance between parallel worlds bathed in magic that ebbs and flows based on the phase of the moon. The playable characters are Arca (a female summoner) and Folth (male). Both are Eucross “rookies,” but their preternatural skills and charisma allow each of them to “Cross” successfully with any of four different partners: Dyth, Kagerou, Spinel and Pariet. Players can experience as many as eight different branches and variations of the story in repeated playthroughs, with different story arcs and Cross abilities that are determined by their choice of playable character and partner.
In September, GAIJINWORKS successfully completed its preorder campaign for physical copies of Summon Night 5 on UMD™. Each lucky gamer who preordered a physical copy of the game will receive it in a deluxe package along with a full-color manual, a multi-sided case insert, one of two giant 19″ x 14″ posters, a serial numbered hologram on the back of the game box, the game’s complete original music soundtrack on CD and a code to download the game from the PlayStation™Network. Those who missed the preorder window will still be able to download a digital copy of Summon Night 5 from PSN and play it on the PSP™, PlayStation®Vita and/or PlayStation®TV.
Summon Night 5 has been rated “T” (Teen) by the ESRB and is currently scheduled for release in the Fall of 2015. For more information, please visit www.summonnight5.com.
