God Wars: Beyond Time is an upcoming video game scheduled for release for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 video game consoles. The game is scheduled for a worldwide release sometime in 2016.
Gameplay
The game plays as a tactical role-playing game, with the player navigating a team of characters across a grid in order to defeat an opposing party of characters in turn-based combat.[2][3] The game's customization options for characters include 30 different job classes, 200 weapons to equip, and over 600 skill moves to learn.[3]
Story
The game's story is based on ancient Japanese folklore, including aspects of the Kojiki.[4]
Development
The game was first announced by Kadokawa Games in November 2014 under its codename Project Code: Tsukiyomi.[5][3] Upon its first reveal, it was merely referred to as simulation role-playing game game with Japanese themes for PlayStation consoles, without mentioning any specific systems.[5] The game was first announced under its officially name, God Wars: Beyond Time, a year later in November 2015,[3] alongside another Kadakowa Games title Root Letter.[6] The game will contain character artwork from Mino Taro of the Love Plus series of video games[7] and creature/monster designs by Sawaki Takeyasu, the creature designer for games like Devil May Cry and Okami.[8] While the game's reveal was strictly a Japanese event, journalists noted that slides from the presentation referred to the title being scheduled for a "worldwide release" in 2016.[4][8][2]
