the gameplay trailer has been removed, it’s a semi

It’s here, finally! Two years exactly after the announcement (it was February 24, 2021), the Grendizer video game finally reveals its first outline. Indeed, Microids just released the very first gameplay teaser where we can finally see what the game will look like when it is released, still scheduled for this year, in 2023. The first images reveal an open world where Grendizer can move freely, and according to our information it will actually be a semi-open world game, with different biomes to explore. Inevitably, from the top of his 30 meters, our UFO robot Grendizer will see the world of people from a different point of view, and we can see it with the trees that it overlooks. Some of the plans also allow us to see Mount Fuji in the distance, allowing us to say the game will take place in Japan. However, the game seems to give prominence to combat, with enemies to be vanquished with Goldo’s strength and powers, knowing that there will also be bosses to face, the famed Golgoths. As for the visual rendering, Microids and the French studio Enroad opted for tone-shaded graphics, in order to keep the artistic touch of the 1970s cartoon, with this atypical and rather rounded artistic direction of the time.

Otherwise, this gameplay video also allows Microids to reveal the full title of the game, Grendizer: Feast of the Wolves, which refers to episode 7 of the animated series, considered by purists to be the best and most interesting. Between a Goldorak dominated by his opponent Janus and the betrayal within the Vega clan, the tension has never been stronger in Go Nagai’s work. According to the statement Microids sent us a few days ago, Grendizer’s Feast of the Wolves will follow the first story arc of the animated series, allowing us to relive the highlights of Grendizer’s early days on Earth. At this stage we do not know if the game will also offer sequences with Actarus / Daisuke, but one thing is certain: Microids and the Enroad studio are particularly anticipated, the latter of which is in the process of realizing the fantasy of hundreds of thousands of people. . In addition, the latter can be reassured, Microids has confirmed that the emblematic musical themes of the animated series will be in the game through a re-orchestration, which should allow to give even more power to the adventure, the music of Shunsuke Kikuchi be inseparable from work. The latter is also behind the music of Dragon Ball and Dr Slump, and left us two years ago.

Grendizer’s Feast of Wolves game is scheduled for release in 2023 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Here are the logos for the French, Japanese and American markets.
