Sony Japan Studio's rain Game's Launch Trailer Streamed

posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
PS3 game about Invisible Boy & girl will be available on October 1 with pre-order bonuses

Sony's PlayStation Blog posted the launch trailer on Monday for Sony Japan Studio's PlayStation 3 game rain. The game will be available in North America on Tuesday. Those who pre-order the game by the end of the day on Monday will receive five hand-drawn avatars, a musical montage, a static theme, and a dynamic theme as bonuses.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced the title at Gamescom last year along with Japan Studio's other in-development title, Puppeteer. Associate producer Dais Kawaguchi describes the story:

The story of rain is the enchanting tale about a boy who chases after a girl with an invisible silhouette. After discovering that the girl is being hunted by ghostly creatures, he embarks on his own journey into the mysterious world of rain to save her and discovers he has also become invisible. Players will play as the boy, whose silhouette can only be seen in the rain. Using the unique ability to appear and disappear under cover players must learn to navigate through the unknown to advance. Just like in the real world, what can be seen isn't everything and using imagination is the only way to reveal the truth.

The game will be available in the United Kingdom on October 2, in North America on October 1, and in Japan on October 3. The game will cost US$14.99 or 12.99 Euros.
