Spike Chunsoft has announced in a new press release that they’ve updated the website for their upcoming action RPG, CRYSTAR, to introduce readers to five new characters who will appear in the game: Rei Hatada, Mirai Hatada, Mephis, Pheles, and Anamnesis.
In CRYSTAR Rei and Mirai are dragged to Purgatory by Anamnesis. Anamnesis causes Rei, our protagonist, to kill her sister Mirai and she must venture through Purgatory for a chance to revive her. In the meantime Anamnesis has her motivations she’s working toward. You can read more about this as well as the other characters on the website.
Details on this title are bit scant for now, but I’m sure we’ll be able to update you further when the game gets a little closer to release, which will be on August 27th of this year. CRYSTAR will be available on PlayStation 4 and PC for $59.99 USD and can be pre-ordered now with an added bonus of some costume DLCs. Checkout the trailer and press release below:
The official CRYSTAR website
Rei Hatada
VA: Brianna Knickerbocker
The protagonist who fights in Purgatory to bestow Revival to the sister she killed. The story isn’t about saving the world, but pursuing her ego as she wishes to bring her sister back to life. Despite facing despair and weeping over her weakness and uncertainty, she has the strength to press on.
Though quiet and serious, when she becomes emotional she demonstrates an intensity that’s directly opposed to her usual, soft-spoken demeanor. She is capable of doing anything to protect those she cares for.
