Marvelous has shared a new animation video for Daemon X Machina.

Featured above and produced by animation studio Satelight, the roughly four-minute long video shows off the events leading up to the main story of the game.

It’s worth pointing out the “Prototype Arsenal” mecha and “Prototype Suit” seen in the above animation can be obtained by pre-ordering the game early in Japan.

In case you missed it, we did a thorough hands-on preview for the game, which you can find here.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

The future of mech-actions games is here!

Defend the planet and defeat corrupted A.I. controlled robots using your Arsenal, a fully customizable mechanized battle suit. Choose and equip your Arsenal with a multitude of weapons, obtain more from downed enemy Arsenals, and swap them on the fly to suit your strategy in the face of ever-changing threats that may bring the end of the world.

It was the greatest disaster in recorded history… The moon tore apart, turning the sky into a kaleidoscope of red light that illuminated all who watched from below. Survive this apocalyptic new age as a mercenary and pilot powerful mechs in this brand-new action game from Kenichiro Tsukuda (Armored Core) and mech designer Shoji Kawamori (Super Dimensional Fortress Macross).

Key Features:

• The player’s avatar is customizable with a variety of options.

• Defeated enemies drop ammo and weapons, which the player can obtain and use on the fly.
