Will be scoffing deities from February next year.

God Eater 3 will launch in on PC in February next year, publisher Namco Bandai has announced.

The release date coincides with a new trailer for the sequel, which showcases a mixture of anime characters talking very seriously about very serious things, and blistering action sequences in which gigantic monsters are air-battered into mulch. I can’t say I’m thrilled by the former, but the latter looks pretty darned excellent, reminiscent of a Platinum game, if slightly cartoonier.

God Eater 3 sees the eponymous divinity gobblers fighting to save humanity as the world is invaded by Aragami, gigantic beasts that exist only to destroy. The third game in the series will let up to eight players join together to battle the Aragami, as well as featuring new areas yet to be seen in the series, and new enemies to fight.

God Eater 3 will be ordering from a pantheon near you as of the February 8 2019.

Rick has been fascinated by PC gaming since he was seven years old, when he used to sneak into his dad's home office for covert sessions of Doom. He grew up on a diet of similarly unsuitable games, with favourites including Quake, Thief, Half-Life and Deus Ex. Between 2013 and 2022, Rick was games editor of Custom PC magazine and associated website bit-tech.net. But he's always kept one foot in freelance games journalism, writing for publications like Edge, Eurogamer, the Guardian and, naturally, PC Gamer. While he'll play anything that can be controlled with a keyboard and mouse, he has a particular passion for first-person shooters and immersive sims.
