Code:Realize ~Shirogane no Kiseki~ Fan Disc's Promo Video Shows New Characters

Idea Factory began streaming an promotional video for Code:Realize ~Shirogane no Kiseki~, its second fan disc for the Code:Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ game, on Friday. The video introduces the main returning characters, as well as new characters Cantarella, Miles Strand, and Aiguille.

The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita game is slated for December 21 in Japan. Code:Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ received its first fan disc titled Code:Realize ~Shukufuku no Mirai~ for the PS Vita in Japan in November 2016.

The original game shipped in Japan for the PlayStation Vita in 2014. Video game publisher Aksys Games released the original game from Idea Factory and Design Factory in North America and Europe in October 2015.

The game features a steampunk aesthetic and a cast of literary and historical figures, including Arsène Lupin, Abraham Van Helsing, Victor Frankenstein, Impey Barbicane, and Count Saint-Germain. Aksys describes the story:

Restricted to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of London in fulfillment of a promise to her father, lonely Cardia lives day to day isolated from the world. Her body carries a deadly poison that rots or melts anything her skin touches, prompting the locals to call her a “monster.”

Her last conversation with her father two years ago, telling her to stay out of sight and never fall in love, is the furthest back she can remember. One day, her quiet solitude is interrupted as the Royal Guards break in to capture her. It is then that Cardia meets Arsène Lupin, a chivalrous thief, who helps her escape the soldiers' clutches. She soon finds herself on a journey with Lupin to locate her father, who holds the answers to her mysterious condition. The two are soon joined by four more interesting and handsome gentlemen…

The game's anime adaptation premiered on October 7. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs and Funimation is offering an English dub.
