- First trailer

"From the ashes... a new generation of Gods begins."

- Second trailer God Eater 3 is an upcoming sequel of God Eater 2 Rage Burst.

Synopsis
The game's official synopsis reads as follows:

"Earth no longer resembles the home we know of now. The Aragami, terrifying beasts that live only to consume, are carving a path of destruction and misery wherever they are encountered. To combat this threat an elite group of heroes known as God Eaters are called upon to save humanity. God Eaters are individuals who have been bestowed upon them the ability to wield powerful new God Arcs, special weapons powered by Oracle Cells and the only known weapons capable of destroying the monstrous Aragami. However, another mission is coming into focus; something is happening to the God Eaters and the line between light and dark has never been so thin. It’s time to start breaking free from the cursed shackles that bind the souls of the God Eaters as the battle rages on around them."

The story revolves around a new kind of God Eaters, named Adaptive God Eaters, or AGE for short. The new character accompanying the hero is Hugo Pennyworth, a young man who became an AGE at a young age alongside with the hero himself.

They grew up together, and a new battle mechanic named “Engage” enables the two to fight together delivering devastating damage.

New Features

 * Accel Trigger - Drastically strengthens the player when certain conditions are met. You can use Accel Trigger as many times as you want as long as you meet its conditions, but whether you aim for a greater effect triggered by more difficult conditions or focus on easier conditions is up to you. For example, successfully performing a Just Guard will activate a Guardian Accel Trigger which raises the player’s attack power.
 * Engage - Link up with one of your allies and share various effects. Your Engage percentage will increase by fighting within a fixed range of your ally, and when it reaches its maximum value, you can activate Engage. When Engage is activated, you also share Accel Trigger effects with your ally.
 * Biting Edge - A new blade category, it possesses both dual wielding and mow-down blade forms. When in the mow-down blade state, stamina does not recover, but you have a wide range of attack. Airborne attacks are also possible.
 * Raygun - New gun category. A radiation gun, the power of which increases the longer it irradiates. You can shoot laser continuously while moving, and the laser will grow bigger the longer you shoot. However, of course, it also gradually depletes your Oracle Points (OP), and once you run out of OP or stop shooting for any other reason, the laser size will revert back to normal.
 * Ash Region Species/Ashborns - Also known as the Aragami of Calamity, they have high adaptability to the Ash Region. Unlike regular Aragami, they are believed to have a common configuration that is a counter adaptation factor contained in their core that prevents devouring from the Ash Region. It has a devour ability, stimulates its own Oracle Cells, and can cause a phenomenon similar to a God Eater’s Burst. When it is devouring, Link Aid and Link Burst are not available.
 * Anubis
 * Ash Region Lord Rah - an Ash Region Aragami that has the ability to create fireballs.

Information
Information known so far:
 * The developers apologized for the three-year wait since the release of God Eater 2: Rage Burst.
 * After development of Rage Burst wrapped up, they reconsidered what draws people to God Eater and what players are looking for. By looking at user feedback, they were faced with a situation where what users want is considerably different from the current God Eater.
 * In addition to looking at evolving the series, they explored market potential, including overseas expansion. Both God Eater 2: Rage Burst and God Eater: Resurrection were well-reviewed overseas.
 * They felt that God Eater 3 should return to the feeling first felt in God Eater—the good feeling of speedily fighting enemies.
 * God Eater 3 is set after the events of God Eater 2: Rage Burst.
 * The setting of God Eater 3 is the area around a Fenrir Headquarters. However, the Fenrir Headquarters that existed in God Eater 2: Rage Burst has already collapsed.
 * The world view from previous games has changed considerably, and the positions of the God Eaters have also changed.
 * Development is proceeding with console as the base. It is being developed on PC, and from there will be moved to console.
 * They’re evolving multiplayer to make it more enjoyable to play for the current era.
 * (In regards gameplay outside of four-person multiplayer) It’s possible.
 * The fields are being completely remade.
 * You can move around seamlessly on the field, and areas are the biggest they have ever been in a God Eater game. Fields feel more expansive than ever. There are many fields with differences in elevation, as well.
 * Up until now, the games were made up of “gods and mankind,” but this is vague in the protagonist of the game, who wore shackles on each of his hands. There’s a feeling of Gods devouring each other.
 * In addition to dual wielding God Arcs, new God Arcs different from previous systems will also appear.
 * Outside of that, the game will also incorporate new elements in order to face against formidable enemies.
 * The smartphone RPG God Eater: Resonant Ops is set between Rage Burst and 3, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to understand 3 without playing it.
 * Development is currently 30 percent complete (as of October 2017).
