PQube is bringing Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] to Europe.
The game will launch across PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita sometime in Q4 of this year in Europe. The PlayStation 4 version is the only one to get a retail release. Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the over-the-top anime-fighter.
A North American release is set for sometime later this year as well.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via PQube:
Widely considered the missing link between traditional 2D fighter gameplay and the over-the-top craziness of ‘anime’ fighters, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st] is the new fighting game by developer French Bread, creators of Melty Blood, the cult-classic fighting game that’s been a staple of Japanese arcades for years.
UNDER-NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[st] takes place in a fictional modern-day Japan, where a mysterious event called Hollow Night occurs on a monthly basis. During the Hollow Night, shadowy creatures called Voids appear and attack innocent people. Survivors of these attacks sometimes develop special abilities and become known as an In-Birth. The game follows a young man named Hyde, a survivor of one of these attacks, as he becomes involved in the goings-on around the Hollow Night phenomenon.
