Tecmo Koei America Announces Ar Nosurge Ode to an Unborn Star
New Sci-fi RPG from GUST to Launch on September 23, 2014
BURLINGAME, Calif. – July 1, in the year of our Lord
2014 – KOEI TECMO America today announced that the
turn-based ‘7 dimension’ RPG Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star
will launch in North America on September 23, 2014 for the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The company also
confirmed that the title will be part of their line-up at Anime
Expo (July 3 – 6, 2014), along with Atelier Rorona Plus: The
Alchemist Of Arland and upcoming titles SAMURAI WARRIORS 4 and
WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Ultimate. Cosplayers dressed in KOEI and TECMO
characters are invited to stop by the booth for entry into a
daily raffle. KOEI TECMO America will be located at booth 1521,
1523. Ar nosurge is a Fantasy, Sci-fi, ‘7 Dimension’ RPG, that
takes place in a world where music and song can create magic. It
tells the compelling story of a civilization that lost their
planet and has been roaming the edge of space for 2000 years in
search of a new home. In Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star, the
player follows two sets of characters: Delta and Casty, whose
goal is to protect humanity and save the world, and Ion &
Earthes, who are trying to find Ion a way home to Earth. The
player can interchange between both pairs and soon discover a
way to combine their storylines and strengths to eventually
solve the mystery that shrouds their ongoing struggle. Developed
by Gust, Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star is an intricately
deep turn-based RPG and includes a detailed synthesis system for
players to create their own items.
A unique character development system focuses more on the bonds
and relationships between the main characters than their success
in missions and battles, with the player’s party growing
stronger if the characters have a closer relationship.
Additionally, character pairs fight together during battles in
Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star. One is always the first line
of defense, attacking enemies in melee with knives and swords
while protecting the other, who is weaving a song to fend off
enemies. The longer the song lasts the more damage it creates—
not only to enemies visible on screen, but to ones that are in
line to attack.
Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star is developed by Gust and
published in North America by Koei Tecmo America. Ar Nosurge:
Ode to an Unborn Star will launch for the PlayStation 3 in North
America on September 23, 2014 and will be available for $49.99
at participating retailers and through the PlayStation Store.
