See Exist Archive in action with a new trailer and screenshots

After some countdown teasing and a Famitsu reveal last week, Spike Chunsoft has opened the official website for Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky. Developed by tri-Ace, this newly announced title is very reminiscent of the developer's Valkyrie Profile franchise, with a side-view perspective and similar style battle system. We have our first clean screenshots and artwork, as well as a short teaser trailer.

The trailer shows some short glimpses of gameplay, including side-scrolling traversal and some battle footage. There is also a rotate functionality to change who is in the front and who is in the rear. Offense and recover capability will change depending on position.

After a mysterious explosion in Tokyo, 12 people find themselves in a new world called Protolexa. The four characters revealed so far include Kanata, his fiancée Ranze, the punk Kiriya, and the mysterious girl Mayura. See our previous post for more information about the characters and story.

Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky is set to release later this year in Japan on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. Screenshots and character artworks are in the gallery below.
