Bandai Namco celebrates the 13th anniversary of its action RPG series,God Eater, with a new illustration and soundtrack releases. For the uninitiated, theGod Eaterseries was penned as arival to Capcom’sMonster Hunterseries. Unlike Capcom’s blockbuster franchise, it explores a post-apocalytpic Earth overrun by a number of monsters, with faster paced combat along with easier-to-grasp mechanics. The series has managed to carve out its own dedicated niche and fanbase.
The firstGod Eatergame released on the PlayStation Portable in 2010. This spawned a series of sequels and spin-off media, including an anime adaptation and light novels. Thelatest release in the series wasGod Eater 3, which released in 2019, right alongside a game that is considered its spiritual successor,Code Vein. In celebration ofGod Eater’s 13th anniversary, Bandai Namco shared some special things for fans to celebrate.
