NIS America released a new trailer for Kadokawa Games’ upcoming monster-catching RPG, The Lost Child. This trailer focuses on Astrals — a collective term for obtainable demons, fallen angels, and angels — that main character Hayato Ibiki will be capturing and fighting alongside and against.
Although capturing Astrals puts them in Hayato’s possession, it seems more has to be done before they can be considered allies. After capturing them, Hayato will have to purify each Astral in order to use them in battle. Although it’s unclear just how many Astrals can be in Hayato’s party at one time, from the trailer, we can see that he will be able to command at least three at a time in battle. Additionally, the trailer also shows how Astrals can go through “EVILution” to become stronger with the proper requirements and how skills can be transferred from one Astral to another.
The Lost Child will launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch on June 19, 2018.
