Koei Tecmo America Launches Toukiden Kiwami
BURLINGAME, Calif. – March 31, in the year of our Lord 2015
– KOEI TECMO America today announced that the demon-slaying
epic, Toukiden: Kiwami, is now available in North America for
the PlayStationŽ4 computer entertainment system for $59.99 and
the PlayStationŽVita handheld entertainment system for $39.99.
Set against a backdrop inspired by various historical periods of
Japan, Toukiden: Kiwami continues the tale of humanity’s last
stand for survival against powerful demons (Oni) that are
destroying the world.
“I believe players will agree when I say that Toukiden: Kiwami
is a fantastic monster-slaying experience,” said Amos Ip, SVP
and General Manager of KOEI TECMO America. “Not only will
players enjoy larger-than-life battles alongside an epic
storyline, Omega Force has included some really interesting
gameplay features to sweeten the pot, such as cross-play and
cross-save functionality.”
For its debut on PlayStationŽ4, Toukiden: Kiwami picks up the
epic Toukiden story from the beginning, offering all of the
content from the previously released Toukiden: The Age of Demons
to introduce new players to its vast, demon-ridden world.
Returning Slayers can discover the new Kiwami storyline or pick
up where they left off by carrying their save data over from
Toukiden: The Age of Demons to both platforms and enjoy a fresh
experience with their hard-earned progress. Players will also
enjoy cross-save functionality between the PlayStationŽ4 system
and PS Vita versions of Toukiden: Kiwami.
Toukiden: Kiwami also includes an extensive, cross-play-enabled
multiplayer mode, in which players on both systems will team up
and slay Oni like never before. Players can battle Oni with a
squad of up to four Slayers comprised of various NPCs or other
players via online cooperative play.
Almost double the size of the original game, Toukiden: Kiwami
includes numerous additions that enrich the gameplay experience
through new story and content. Featuring new Oni to battle, an
extensive character creation mode, 300 fallen heroes (Mitama)
whose rescued souls help strengthen the player’s team, and much
more, developer Omega Force – creators of the renowned DYNASTY
WARRIORS series – have aimed to make Kiwami the definitive
Toukiden experience, offering updates and vast improvements to
popular features requested by fans.
In the deeply rich world of Toukiden: Kiwami, Oni have hidden in
the shadows aiming to torment mankind. Throughout history, a
secret cast of warriors known as Slayers have been trained to
dispose of the demonic threat before it could consume the world.
However, an event known as the ‘Awakening’ generated rifts in
space and time, causing places that had long disappeared from
the world to resurface, and unleashing hordes of demons that now
relentlessly hunt humans.
The player’s role in Toukiden: Kiwami is to complete various
missions, strengthen his or her relationships with the other
warriors in the village, and eventually do battle with the
largest of the Oni to banish them back to their dimension and
free the souls of the heroes they’ve trapped. In turn, when
these souls are free, they stay with the player and provide him
or her with a variety of equippable abilities.
Toukiden: Kiwami is published by KOEI TECMO America in North
America and is now available for purchase on the PlayStationŽ4
computer entertainment system and the PlayStationŽVita handheld
entertainment system at participating retailers, as well as
through digital download at the PlayStationŽStore. This title
has been rated T for “Teen” by the ESRB.
