Story
The game takes place 3 years after the original. A new pandemic caused by "Red Rain" has struck the Far East Branch. Members of Special Forces "Blood", an affiliate of Fenrir who reside in a mobile base, are sent to investigate. It is implied that other places out of the Far East Branch will be visited.

Engagement System
Allows you to share the status bar with a teammate (namely, the OP bar), enabling one to go full gun in battle. It's hinted that this could pave the way for even higher OP consuming bullets/recipes.

Blood Arts
New weapon skills. Most are gained through natural usage of equipment, while some require specific missions to unlock them. For example, continously using the square buttons in combat will lead it to evolve into a better combo. The skills are not tied to your equipment, so it can be seen an an evolution of the character. NPCs have their own missions seperate from the storyline which when completed, grant them improved Blood Arts. The concept sounds similar to the Phantasy Star Portable series's Photon Arts.

Quotes
Burst was the result of us taking in all the feedback we received from gamers about the original GE and trying to make the first game as complete a package as possible.

With GE2, we're trying to pinpoint what users found fun about the game; we're taking it apart and reassembling it from scratch.

The GE series is about high-speed action and a story that makes you the hero.

The way those two aspects combine is what I think makes the game appealing to users, and to start out, we're going to make both aspects stronger in GE2.
