Deadman Wonderland: Blood Circus

Deadman Wonderland: Blood Circus is an upcoming Beat 'em Up game developed by Q? Entertainment and published by Square-Enix for the PS4, PS3, and PSVita. It's a direct adaptation of the Anime/Manga series "Deadman Wonderland" by Jinsei Katoka, and will be made to promote the 2nd season of the anime. The subtitle comes from a song from the FUNimation trailer, titled "Blood Circus" by Jim Welch.

Story
The plot of the game will follow the events of the Anime and Manga, going through all 58 chapters of the manga (or both seasons of the show), but here's a quick summary...

Ganta Igarashi is a normal high school student, living a relatively peaceful life in Nagano Prefecture. But one day, as people are preparing for a class field trip to the amusement park/prison Deadman Wonderland, a mysterious Man in Red appears and slaughters Ganta's whole class and shoves a shard of a Red Crystal into Ganta's chest. He later wakes up in a hospital, where he is considered the soul suspect, and after a quick trial, he is sentenced to death row in Deadman Wonderland. He later meets an albino girl named Shiro, who looks and sounds similar to one of his friends who died. But, after getting harassed by a bunch of other inmates, an explosion goes off, and Ganta discovers he has mysterious powers that let him control and weaponize his spilled blood, and is able to save himself and Shiro from falling debris from the explosion. With these newly found powers, he is gonna uncover the dark secrets of his captors, and he will have to survive and escape to expose them to the world.

Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to Q? Entertainment and Phantasm's Ninety Nine Nights, which was inspired by Dynasty Warriors and Phantasm's own Kingdom Under Fire series. It's a Hack 'n Slash/Beat 'em Up where you play as different characters from the series like Ganta, Shiro, Toto, and Shenji. In some levels, you will be competing in Carnival Corpse, killing large groups of enemies, or fighting certain characters from the manga.
