In case you forgot, Bandai Namco is bringing God Eater 3 to the Switch this July. To help introduce Nintendo fans to the well-established series, its publisher will be releasing an action demo, featuring local multiplayer support.

This announcement was made during an official Japanese God Eater live stream, however, it's unclear when exactly the demo will be made available to Switch owners or if it will be downloadable in other regions. If it's not released outside of Japan, we're guessing you'll still be able to check it out with a Japanese eShop account.

The local multiplayer is one of the many unique features included in the Switch release. Apart from this, the contents within the Switch iteration will be exactly the same as the PlayStation 4 and Steam versions according to the producer Yuya Tomiyama:

“The contents of the game will be the same as the PS4 and Steam versions. In addition to this, we are adding special features unique to the Switch version, such as local co-op multiplayer.”

God Eater 3 slashes its way onto the Switch on 12th July. View the latest live stream featuring Switch game footage below:
