Tomizawa aims for simultaneous release with next God Eater

We were able to catch up with God Eater series producer Yusuke Tomizawa recently to talk about the launch of the first two games in the series in Europe this summer.

"What I am doing now is to bring out the games we've already released in Japan just to catch everyone up to the same level," says Tomizawa. "But of course even though I can't be really specific on what's coming next, my hope here is to bring out God Eater somehow to people all over the world simultaneously if possible. So that is my goal for the next step of the God Eater franchise."

"Five years ago we released the first God Eater on PSP," says Tomizawa. "After that the phenomenon of God Eater has happened. It just started as an action game, but people really liked the action element, and they liked the universe, they liked the characters ."

God Eater was released as an alternative to the extremely popular Monster Hunter in Japan and found success of its own.

"One of the biggest reasons for the success in Japan of hunting games in general is the co-op gameplay of local connection, not online connection," says Tomizawa. "That is something that caught the heart of Japanese fans."
