New Let It Die Trailer Drops In Advance of PAX East Reveal
This weekend PAX East attendees will get a look at Let It Die as GungHo Online Entertainment is sharing a glimpse of the chaotic world that awaits in Grasshopper Manufacture’s survival action game.
Let It Die is an upcoming free-to-play hack and slash action video game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. It is for the PlayStation 4, along with a companion app for the game to be playable on smartphones.
Let It Die was originally known as Lily Bergamo, which initial plot focused on a female protagonist called Tae Ioroi, and was set in the year 2043.
The game’s world drew from both Japanese and Western cultures. It was described as a “super action game” or an “extreme action game”. The game was supposed to feature an “element of growth”, in that by gradually accumulating experience, the player’s data is updated more and more rapidly. Lily Bergamo would have featured online play and features, though details were currently still unknown.
In addition to the game, Lily Bergamo would feature an “companion app”, which would be playable on smartphones.
The game would feature online play, and according to GungHo Online Entertainment’s CEO Kazuki Morishita, would allow “both smartphone and PlayStation gamers to be in the same world”.
According to Morishita, Grasshopper Manufacture “wants to make the most out of the strengths of online play, and the idea of using smartphones to play has been a big deal”, with the goal of the app being allowing players “to completely rely on their smartphones to play”.
Although Lily Bergamo changed to Let It Die during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014, the “companion app” and the concept of an “extreme action game” remained.
