Beyond the Grave returns
Not intent on resting their on laurels with the release of Nippon Ichi's La Pucelle: Tactics, Mastiff Games announces their next big release, Gungrave: Overdose for the PlayStation 2. Titled "Gungrave: OD" in Japan, Overdose is the sequel to "Gungrave", Red Entertainment's anime-inspired action-shooter released a while back which incidentally got adapted into an anime series afterwards.
"Gungrave: Overdose features more of everything that made its predecessor great: more adrenaline, more over-the-top action, more cell-shaded coolness, more outrageous story, more pumped-up volume, and more non-stop gameplay. The game features the character design of noted anime artists Yasuhiro Nightow (Trigun) and Kosuke Fujishima (Sakura Wars) and a soundtrack composed by Tsuneo Imahori (Trigun, Hajime No Ippo). Gungrave: Overdose ships in early fall 2004."
The aforementioned anime TV series is also being localized for North America release this July, thanks to Geneon Entertainment.
