Toukiden: The Age of Demons release date and pre-order bonuses revealed

Toukiden: The Age of Demons will launch for PS Vita on February 11th in North America and February 14th in Europe, Tecmo Koei has announced. Following a ground breaking success in Japan, with sales exceeding 420,000 units (a feat all the more impressive for an original IP), Toukiden: the Age of Demons is now being localised for release in the west.

Set against a backdrop inspired by various historical periods of Japan, Toukiden tells the tale of humanity’s last stand for survival. When monstrous demons (Oni) of varying strength and size invaded the world through cracks in space and time and started attacking humans, the only opposition came from the Slayers; a caste that has always secretly protected mankind from their murderous intent.

Eight years after time warped and Oni appeared, a brave young Slayer embarks on a journey to thin the numbers of the enemy and help humanity survive. Players take the role of this young warrior and can fully customise their characters, weapons and armour and form a group of hunters to take down the destructive Oni.

This visually stunning game boasts an extensive character creation mode, and six different weapon types, each of which can be forged and upgraded to the player’s preferences, while it also features 200 characters based on both fictional and historical Japanese figures, whose souls help players strengthen their team and defeat their enemies.

In North America, consumers who pre-order at GameStop will receive two extra Mission Collections, and the 'Mitama of Niijima Yae.' Amazon consumers will receive the 'Mitama of Momotaro,' a warrior’s soul that will strengthen the player’s skill, and the 'Cat Ears' and 'Fox Mask' armor.

In Europe, consumers who pre-order via PlayStation Network will receive the 'Mitama of Momotaro' and the 'Cat Ears' armor. Pre-orders through Amazon, Game, and independent retailers through Centresoft will receive the 'Mitama of Nijima Yae' and the 'Fox Mask' armor.
