"God Eater Online" is the first game in the game's franchise that has been designed for mobile devices according to the latest reports. The release date for the new game in the franchise is yet to be announced. It is expected that Bandai Namco will make an official statement at a stage event at Tokyo Game Show 2016.
"God Eater Online" will be different from the previous titles in the series. "God Eater Online" will be set in an MMO environment. Here, there are different types of play styles and play cycles which were not available in the previous titles. This will enable the players to work together.
It is also reported by the development team of Bandai Namco that they are currently working on a "God Eater" game for consoles. We do not have much information on the same and very few details of the project have been shared as of now. It was revealed by the team that enthusiasts can wait to get more information during the Tokyo Game Show 2016 which is happening on September 17. Bandai Namco will have a scheduled "New Game Presentation" at the show at around 3:30 p.m.
There are reports which suggested that Bandai Namco wants more and more people to play the "God Eater" game and this is the reason why the company has made the game free and also crossed it to the MMO environment. The original concept of the series remains intact as the classic Aragami Hunt with God Arcs will still be in "God Eater Online" as like any of the previous titles, reported Touch Arcade.
If the player of "God Eater Online" encounters a powerful enemy, they can ask the other players for support and immediately create a group and fight out the enemy. After the players use the step it will be followed by devour combo after they break away from the enemy. The objective of "God Eater Online" is to have a least of 100 people to play on a single field, reported Siliconera.
Set in a parallel world, "God Eater Online" has the same time axis as previous "God Eater" games. There are so-called "levels" in the game. More than a stage change, the "levels" in "God Eater Online" are concepts that they players can acquire or "reach" based on their acquired skill points. The players are presented with various choices to pick and each choice they make will affect various actions. For a player to complete the story mission, it will take 10 minutes which they can play "God Eater Online" solo but even NPCs can join. Because of this, players will stay in MMO spaces for a short while only.
The developers of "God Eater Online" aim to include all the God Arcs and guns that are present in the series. The game is developed based on the idea that the players can easily move in and out of MMOs and also request other players to form parties which makes playing "God Eater Online" easier.
It is expected that Bandai Namco will soon announce the release date of "God Eater Online." It is anticipated that this will be done during the new game presentation at the Tokyo Game Show 2016 on Sep 17.
