Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced plans to release two God Eater games for PS4, PS Vita and PC, in western territories in summer 2016.

The two God Eater games that are coming to the western market are God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst. God Eater Resurrection was originally released in Japan on October 29, 2015, and God Eater 2: Rage Burst was originally released in Japan on February 19, 2015. Both games are re-releases/remakes of previous God Eater titles; God Eater Resurrection was originally released in Japan on the PSP in February 2010 under the title God Eater, and God Eater 2: Rage Burst was originally released in Japan on PS Vita and PSP in November 2013 under the title God Eater 2.

Bandai Namco Entertainment’s press release provided the following information regarding the game.

In the early 2050s, unknown life forms called “Oracle cells” began their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. A ravenous appetite coupled with a remarkable adaptability quickly turned those cells into the Earth’s biggest foe: Aragamis. Giant and invulnerable enemies completely immune to conventional weapons: this is what the world was facing. However, an elite force, called God Eater, was formed to take them head-on by using the recently developed weapons known as “God Arcs”. In a world ravaged by mad gods, these “God Eaters” are engaged in a desperate war…

Hervé Hoerdt, VP of Marketing and Digital at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe also explained how well the franchise has done in Japan and how the company has finally answered the call of the game’s western fans.

“In only 5 years, the God Eater franchise turned into a phenomenon in Japan, and Asia selling more than 3 million copies! This monster slaying universe isn’t only bound to games, as our teams managed to successfully expand the experience into other areas such as anime – available on Daisuki.net – but also manga and popular soundtracks. Our western fans have been asking to get their hands on a localized God Eater game, we heard them and to start with, we are bringing two of them! This is just the beginning as we are planning on bringing more exceptional content to our territories in a very near future.”

While God Eater is primarily a video game franchise, the series has branched out into light novels and in July of this year, the game received an anime adaptation.
