PS3/PS4/PC fighting game ships in Japan on September 25

The official website of Bandai Namco Entertainment's upcoming Saint Seiya: Soldier's Soul PS3/PS4/PC fighting game began streaming the game's third promo video on Friday. The video shows some scenes from the game's story mode.

Bandai Namco Entertainment previously streamed the game's second short promotional video on Monday.

The game is slated for a September 25 release in Japan for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Bandai Namco Entertainment confirmed in April that the game will get a Western release in the Americas this fall. Those who pre-order the game will get two original characters as a bonus: Original Color Dark Lord, Hades; and Original Color Goddess, Athena.

Those who purchase first editions of the game in Japan will receive the same two characters, and they will also receive a product code to be able to play as the eight members of the God Warriors.

Dimps is developing the game, and Bandai Namco Entertainment plans to ship the game with Japanese, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese audio tracks and English, Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles. The game will feature Gold saints with God Cloths in the original mode for the first time, and will also include the addition of aerial combos and range variation.

Crunchyroll is streaming the Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold television anime series in various countries outside of Japan. Anime Consortium Japan is also streaming the series in 220 countries and regions outside of Japan on the Daisuki website. Bandai Channel is streaming the series in Japan.

Namco Bandai Games worked with Dimps to develop the previous Saint Seiya game, Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers. The company released the PlayStation 3 game in Japan in October 2013, then released the game in North America, Europe, Australasia, and South America in November 2013.

Masami Kurumada's original mythological fantasy manga ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1985 to 1990, and it has more than 34 million copies in print worldwide. The manga quickly inspired a 1986 television anime series that was popular not only in Japan, but also in France, Italy, other parts of Europe, Brazil, other parts of South and Central America, and Asia. The anime aired in more than 80 countries.
