SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal Heading For Playstation 4 & Windows PC

With a series of popular games, manga, as well as anime adaptations, it’s clear that the group of female ninjas from the Senran Kagura franchise are as popular as ever with the fans. From 3D brawlers to side-scrolling action games, card battling, rhythm cooking, dating sim, and even pinball, it is also a franchise that isn’t afraid to branch out in interesting genres. However, the only way to experience Senran Kagura Burst, the first 3D busty-brawler in the series, was to splash out on a Nintendo 3DS. Now Playstation 4 and PC owners who missed out can look forward to a full, modern remake of the game.

Playstation 4 owners get to join in on the fun when the game launches on the 18th of January 2019, while Steam users have to wait a few days later until the 22nd of January 2019 for their turn. According to Marvelous Europe, the game will feature 3D environments along with newly improved character models as well as cut-scenes. Additional DLC episodes, that reveal new details of Yumi and Miyabi’s histories prior to meeting Asuka and Homura, will also be released shortly afterwards. Fans who already own downloadable content for SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS, such as costumes, hairstyles and accessories, will also be glad to hear that a selection of these will be compatible with SENRAN KAGURA Burst: Re:Newal. As long as you have the content installed on your PS4, they will appear in the Dressing Room of the new game, ensuring even further customization options. Wile not all previously released DLC is compatible with the new game, it is definitely a cool bonus.

Fans who are eager to get their hands on SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal can head over to the Playstation Store right now where the digital pre-orders for both the Standard Edition and Shinobi Rivals Edition are available. The “Beautiful Something Yukata Outfit” and Blooming Again” Playstation 4 theme is also given out as a digital pre-order bonus. Both of these will also be available separately as premium DLC from the Playstation Store a few weeks after launch for those who don’t pre-order. Marvelous Europe is also rewarding all players with some free DLC during the first four weeks following the game’s launch. Both the “Cutie Melon” and “Cutie Peach” costumes will be free during this promotional period, before reverting to premium DLC from the Playstation Store.
