Soul Sacrifice Game's E3 Trailer Posted

PlayStation revealed a new, two-minute trailer at E3 2012 on Tuesday for the upcoming release of the PlayStation Vita game Soul Sacrifice. The official PlayStation blog revealed last week that Soul Sacrifice would be released in North America and Europe.

The player in the game is a slave to a cruel magician. As the slave is about to be sacrificed, a mysterious "Golam Book" that is actually monster in disguise appears before the slave. It is unclear if this book will be an enemy or an ally. The game will allow for up to four-players in co-op play. In the world of the game, a sacrifice must be offered in order to use magic. If the correct compensation is not offered, magic users lose their lives. The compensation ranges from simple items such as jewels to body parts. As magic users become more powerful, they lose their human appearance and will eventually turn into the monsters that inhabit the world.

Keiji Inafune (Rockman/Mega Man, Onimusha, Dead Rising), formerly of CAPCOM, is helming the project at his current studio comcept. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will produce the title developed by Marvelous AQL. Kentarou Motomura is serving as producer, while Teruyuki Toriyama will act as his assistant producer. Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Xenoblade Chronicles) and Wataru Hokoyama (Afrika) are in charge of the game's music.

Soul Sacrifice's teaser, first trailer, launch event videos and an interview video with Inafune began streaming last month.

Soul Sacrifice is slated to ship in Japan this winter.
