FAIRY TAIL 2’s intense battles are heating up in action-packed trailer
Today, at Tokyo Game Show 2024, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust unveiled new details about the combat system in FAIRY TAIL 2, the new action RPG based on the popular franchise FAIRY TAIL. In an epic new trailer, fans can discover more about real-time battles that Natsu and his friends will encounter when fighting against Emperor Spriggan Zeref and his elite team, the Spriggan 12. A direct sequel to KOEI TECMO’s 2020 game, FAIRY TAIL 2 will be released on 13th December 2024 for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, and 12th December 2024 on Windows PC via Steam®.
To capture the intensity and thrill of the Alvarez Empire Arc, FAIRY TAIL 2 features revamped real-time magical battles packed with even more spectacular action. In addition to their powerful emblematic attacks, the FAIRY TAIL guild members will unleash impressive attacks in cooperation with their allies by using “Link Attacks” and “Unison Raid” to defeat their enemies. Speed, precision and synergy will be the key to a triumphant strategy over the formidable Spriggan 12 mages.
In the newly unveiled trailer, fans get a glimpse of the new character progression mechanics that will allow them to create their own FAIRY TAIL experience by managing the skill progression of their favourite characters. Players will also be able to deepen their FAIRY TAIL experience by unlocking character stories as they advance through the story, giving them the opportunity to discover new facets of these beloved characters thanks to brand-new, original sequences and interactions.
Additionally, during the “KOEI TECMO LIVE! at TGS 2024” livestream on 27th September 2024 (19:00 JST, only available in Japanese), fans will discover more about the game through live gameplay footage with guests Tetsuya Kakihara (CV Natsu) and Sayaka Ohara (CV Erza), and the game’s producer, Hiroshi Kataoka.
