It often strikes me as silly when publishers release a trailer for a trailer, but I’ll be darned if this teaser for the PS Vita fantasy-action game, Soul Sacrifice, does not pique my curiosity.

Upon face value, its gritty dark fantasy aesthetic and title resemble From Software’s Demon’s Souls series, but Soul Sacrifice is getting created by Sony’s Japan Studio rather than From Software program. Japan Studio did play a hand in making Demon’s Souls, nonetheless, and Sony owns the IP, so a spinoff remains a possible, albeit unlikely scenario.

Final month an ad for the game was leaked from the upcoming problem of Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu. Component of the ad translates to, “the action game that shakes your soul.”

A Flash ad right after the teaser cryptically explains, “It really is not about cooperation,” prior to adding “It really is about fighting shoulder to shoulder.” This hints at some sort of mix amongst competitive and cooperative gaming, and the whole point looks like a really bleak Monster Hunter.

Thankfully, we will not have to wait lengthy to find out a lot more. The game’s official reveal will be Thurs, Could 10th, where Sony will hold an announcement event for the game in Tokyo, Japan.
