God Eater 2 (ゴッドイーター2) is the sequel to Gods Eater Burst. It has been announced that it will be a simultaneous PSP and HD Vita release, and is scheduled to be released in 2013. D3Publisher has not made any announcement on plans of localization as of yet.
Story |
---|
The game takes place 3 years after the original. A new fatal pandemic, the "Black Plague" (黑蛛病) which has no known cure and is caused by coming into contact with "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. |
New Weapons & Mechanics | Notes |
---|---|
Blades that combine the sense of both immense power and speed. | |
Blades that specialise in linear based attacks to target Aragami weak spots with pinpoint accuracy. It can be charged to form a sharpened edge. | |
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 as an evolution of the character. | |
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. Oddly, this new mechanic was not featured in the TGS 2012 presentation, which could imply it was scrapped. |
New Equipment Branches |
New equipment can be made with the new Aragami materials. |

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. -Producer Yusuke Tomizawa, Famitsu Interview |
