posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming a teaser promotional video on Wednesday for its Summon Night 6: Lost Borders PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita game. The video reveals that Yui Ogura will star in the game as Amu, and Ryōta Asari will co-star as Rāju.
The game's female protagonist is Amu. As a rule, Amu doesn't want to be involved in anything troublesome, but at her core she has a meddlesome personality. She is an unsociable and aloof sniper. She travels together with her partner Kilt. The game's male protagonist is Rāju, who lives with his partner Patch in Firūja. He is an adventurer who makes his living by collecting items that fall from the sky.
The game will feature multi-leveled fields in its simulation battles, and those who hold the high ground will have an advantage in battle. As in previous games in the series, players will be able to summon beasts to fight with them in battle. The summons can damage enemies and also create special effects in battle.
The game will take place not in Lyndbaum, but in the cocoon world of Firūja. In the story, one day a meteor-like object falls in Firūja, and when Rāju rushes to collect it, he finds a being that was summoned from Lyndbaum. At the same time, Amu, who lives in a place far away from Rāju, also meets a being summoned from Lyndbaum. Amu and Rāju set out on their own journeys with these otherworldly creatures to achieve their own goals. Both head toward the threaded walls that enclose Firūja.
Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the game in Japan in spring 2016. The game is commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Summon Night franchise.
Bandai Namco Games released Summon Night 5 on the PlayStation Portable in 2013 in Japan. Gaijinworks plans to release the game in English this fall for the PSP and PS Vita.
