A North American release is scheduled for Feb. 21 while Europe will get its turn on Feb. 24. Apart from the PlayStation consoles, the game will also be available for the PC via Steam. Producer Hisashi Koinuma mentioned in an E3 interview that they were “looking into” an Xbox One release in America, as well as a Steam release in Japan.
The game’s first edition will include a code for a special “bathing” costume for Casca. There will also be other bonuses for the Japanese release based on the retailer such as different costumes, keychains and microfiber cloths.
In order to ease non-fans of the franchise into Berserk’s extensive lore, the game will cover the very beginning of the series up to the arc of the recently concluded anime. Oddly enough, a gist of the series’ different arcs can be read over at the game’s English website. Alfred Bayle
