"Dramatic tactics game" slated for December 17

Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming the first promotional video for its upcoming PlayStation Vita game Owari no Seraph: Unmei no Hajimari (Seraph of the End: Beginning of Destiny). The game will ship in Japan on December 17.

In the "dramatic tactics battle" game, the player's decisions throughout the game will change the ending. Players level up their bonds with comrades on the battlefield by raising their "family level." When the "family level" rank goes up, players experience a "family event" scene. Characters will get special endings if players build trust with them during battle.

First printings of the game will include a PlayStation Vita theme, digital illustration gallery, and a talk with the voice actors.

Bandai Namco Entertainment is also developing the Owari no Seraph: Bloody Blades smartphone game for a planned release this fall.
