saint
Saint Seiya: Divine Chronicles, developed by Cyberconnect 2 and Namco Bandai that will also publish it, will be an adventure and fighting game that will feature and be based on the storyline of the 3 known manga of masami kuramada: Saint Seiya Classic (Sanctuary, Poseidon, Hades), Saint Seiya Episode G, Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas: The Myth of Hades with a maximum of 47 characters. It will be released for PS3, PSVita, Xbox 360 and Wii U with a maximum format of 1080p, and rated for PEGI 7+.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay will be like Saint Seiya Senki for the adventure mode, while the story boss battle and 1vs1 battle will be like the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series.
Fighting style and moves will depend from the armor and not from the character itself, and so we will be capable of choose the appearence: for example if I wanna use the Aries Saint, I can choose the appearence, if Mu or Shion.
Story[]
There will be 3 story mode: Classic, Lost Canvas, Lost Canvas Gaiden and Episode G, all following Kuramada's Manga. We will play both factions of characters in the story mode we will choose: when you finish the classic mode, you will able to do the classic mode again but using the gold saints, or, in Episode G, using the titans.
