The Lost Child receives its second trailer

Earlier today, Kadokawa Games released a brand new trailer for the upcoming dungeon crawler RPG The Lost Child, the new game from the creators of El Shaddai that is acting as somewhat of a spiritual successor with some of the same characters.

The story is about Hayato Ibuki, a magazine writer who, after investigating a story about someone who killed themselves in front of a train, is shoved onto the train tracks himself. Before he can be killed, a woman named Barcia saves him at the very last moment.

He is then presented with Pandora's Box that contains a demon gun that can capture and manipulate demons called Astrals - fallen angels, demons, and fallen angels that are forced to perform the owner's bidding. Hayato will soon meet a girl named Rua who calls herself an angel as they investigate other matters as they look to reunite with Barcia.

Check out the new trailer below:

The Lost Child is set to be released for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan on August 24. There has been no word of a western release.
