The next game from the staff behind El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, including director Takeyasu Sawaki, is The Lost Child, the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation reveals. It is a turn-based RPG with command-style battles.

The Lost Child is based on the world that is the mythical concept of El Shaddai. Lucifel (voiced by Ryota Takeuchi), who appeared in El Shaddai, will also appear in The Lost Child. The game is set amidst a conflict of demons in modern day Japan.

PS

Editor's Note: This is all the information we have right now, but check back around 5:00 a.m. ET. The game is likely also featured in Weekly Famitsu, which will post its magazine coverage previews online at that time.

Switch?

OricWindstar · May 23, 2017

I mean, so far that sounds awesome, especially if it has the same art direction.

Iva Demilcol · May 23, 2017

Sounds interesting but I want to see how it's gonna look like since El Shadai looked amazing back then.

Dark Cloud · May 23, 2017

I like the sound of turn based RPG.

LordOfLore · May 23, 2017

Dengeki Playstation huh?

Reineldinho · May 23, 2017

I loved El Shaddai so much this is getting my full attention now

A turn-based game that's guaranteed to look fucking incredible? I'm in!

Lol, its was announced by Playstation Dingeki

Hold your horses

Shifty · May 23, 2017

El Shaddai devs fuck yeah!

Wait, turn ba-

In seriousness though, it being set in the same lore and Lucifel making a return is great. The modern japan setting sounds a little bit SMT.

Kenzodielocke · May 23, 2017

El Shaddai was such a weird but special game. Hopefully they have a proper reveal.

Toadthemushroom · May 23, 2017

Any word on who's publishing?

notaskwid · May 23, 2017

Scorpio?

Heyt · May 23, 2017

El Shaddai was a solid-ish 7/10 game with a lot of personality. Hope the RPG format suits it well... It is weird seeing it being set in modern day Japan, though. Surely ot will take us to more interesting places later on.

FelipeMGM · May 23, 2017

No mention of who is the publisher? Sawaki said it was something ''major'' and he couldnt share more before because of that

A turn-based JRPG with demons in modern Tokyo...hmmm.. Shin Megami Shaddai?

I never played El Shaddai. It looked cool, but everything I read made it sound like a beautiful trainwreck.

snow in jamaica · May 23, 2017

Good. I still can't imagine Enoch any other way but as Brad Pitt wearing Jeans of God.

Shin Metatron Tensei?

Sounds awesome.

Philippo · May 23, 2017

GasProblem · May 23, 2017

A turn based RPG huh. Yeah, I'm interested.

KainXVIII · May 23, 2017

PS4/Steam is for sure.

But imagine all the cool enemies we could be fighting!

wrowa · May 23, 2017

Who does even own the rights to El Shaddai these days? Kinda weird that this is coming back of all things.

Tohsaka · May 23, 2017

Turn-based RPG sounds good to me.

Wouldnt that fall under port begging and is ban worthy?
Still i am looking forward to this game, hopefully they could rerelease el shaddai, wouldnt mind getting it again for 10-20 bucks

It's for PS4 and Vita. Published by Kadokawa.

It's not really port begging if we don't actually know the platforms yet but it is REALLY annoying.

edit: Nevermind. See previous post.

Sure, just as every other game it would be perfect on the Switch.

Thanks Sal. This could be the closest thing to SMT on PlayStation until SMT HD arrives.

Takao · May 23, 2017

Since it's Kadokawa, NISA will probably pounce on it.

Since it's Kadokawa, it's also probably going to be a zero budget piece of trash lol.

Takeyasu Sawaki managed to grab the rights from UTV Ignition just as Disney bought them out.

Ydelnae · May 23, 2017

I looks interesting, I hope it looks good in engine. I like the artwork style but the anime cutscenes look bland.

But we already got Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth!

Which is actually closer to Persona than regular SMT, but still

Yohane · May 23, 2017

Beautiful.

Jrpgs set in modern era are so fascinating.

Kresnik258 · May 23, 2017

Is this one of those Project Code games they announced years ago?

Game is still in my backlog, so I'll take your word for it. I know, I know, "go play it!" Stop throwing tomatoes at me!

You know what's up.

Will get on vita for sure. 😀

jj984jj · May 23, 2017

It's coming out on Vita as well? I wonder what it looks like. Hope it's better than some of the low budget things Kadokawa has made.
