KOEI TECMO America announced today the release of a playable demo for the PlayStation 4 version of upcoming anime-based tactical action title Arslan: The Warriors of Legend.
Also announced is a new feature which allows players to collect recipes and benefit from the character Elam’s culinary prowess.
A demo of Arslan: The Warriors of Legend will be available for download via the PlayStation®Network on January 12, 2016 and will include a mission from the first stage of the game, taking players through a short tutorial session using two key characters: Arslan, the Prince of Pars, and his protector Daryun. Additionally, the demo will showcase a set of new moves and powers developed for Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, such as the Mardan Rush & Weapon Arts special attacks.
KOEI TECMO has also announced an exciting new Free Mode feature that will delight fans of the anime! As anyone who has watched The Heroic Legend of Arslan will know, Narsus’s page Elam is a culinary genius, and his cooking often delights his co-travelers during their quest. This gastronomic side of Elam’s has now been incorporated into the battle preparations!
During the course of the game, players can locate and collect recipe books hidden throughout the story mode. These can be used in Free Mode prior to battle to give the controlled character an ability boost. The various foods, such as Lamb Skewers, Stewed Chicken, and Potluck Soup can provide different effects such as increased health, attack boosts, healing, bonus gold, bonus experience, and more!
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is slated to release across America on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 9, 2016. It will also be simultaneously available digitally on the PlayStation 3. Arslan: The Warriors of Legend has been rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB.
