Capcom Announce Asura’s Wrath

The Japanese giants are hard at work yakking to all that will listen about their upcoming library of games. Perhaps the biggest, or at least freshest, news to come from the conference in Tokyo so far is the announcement of Asura’s Wrath.

It’s an action game which looks suitably exhilarating, allowing you to call down the power of Gods to defeat your enemies. Take that, Bayonetta, with your fancy-schmancy hair-based attacks. It will be powered by the Unreal Engine 3 (Epic’s Japanese studio already paying off…), be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and feature massive armies.

We’ll update this story when Capcom releases official info and art for the game. Stay tuned.

Update: Some screens fresh from the offices of Capcom.

  1. Certainly looks epic considering that 4th picture!
    Some interesting new IP surfacing so far, always a good thing IMO as so far this gen, I’ve undoubtedly gotten more fun out of new games as opposed to sequels.

  2. Heres the trailer kids!!! (and it’s certainly looking epic)

    co-produced by keiji inafune too….

  3. how many times does that guy have to get impaled before he dies?

    and i think it’s safe to say that unless unicron is in the next transformers game that that thing will be the biggest enemy ever in a game.

  4. DO WANT! DO WANT! DO WANT!

    dear god that look amazing.

    how much GORE. as from this point this at the top of my most anticipated list.

  5. Sign me up for my pre order now

  6. Colour me interested.

  7. Looks good! 2nd picture reminds me of Bloody Roar.

  8. Looks ridiculously OTT in a very fun way. Reminds me a bit of God Hand. The fact that it’s CyberConnect2 developing is the icing on the cake.

    At least Capcom had one good looking announcement today, but reading the plot description makes it sound identical to Darksiders.
