Brandon "Beyond the Grave" Heat returns. Anyone else remember playing the original and Overdose back between 2002-2004? For those that don't know, Gungrave was one of the first games at the time to follow Devil May Cry in the Stylish Action genre. Except Gungrave focused more on 3rd person shooting than melee. The sequel Overdose had a melee character ironically enough. God, it's been years since a proper Gungrave. The VR game had mixed reception, and is a sequel to Overdose. GORE takes place after the VR game. I can't wait to play this in December. I'm gonna have to pop in my PS2 again.

I'm assuming the girl in the trailer is Mika in which case I'm not a huge fan of them turning her into a cutesy, twintailed, martial arts master. Maybe it's explained in the VR game but since I have no intention of ever getting VR I guess I'll never know.

I highly doubt that's Mika. While she can fight, she is not a martial arts master. Plus, she is more of a shooter than a melee specialists. Probably a friend of Mika's most likely; the design is too radically different. The blonde girl looks like a DOA knockoff of Marie Rose. By this point in the timeline, Mika would have to be in her 20s by now. This girl looks like a teenager.

EDIT: I checked a playthrough of Gungrave VR, and Mika looks like she did in Overdose, but slightly older.

Holy nostalgia batman!

I didn't expect another proper GG game after that VR game so I'm very surprised. Not sure who the blond kung fu girl is supposed to be (she's almost reminiscent of an angel a bit) but she's terribly adorable. Also that fight scene is very reminiscent of episode 1 so I appreciate the respect they're showing the series. The gameplay looks almost, I dunno, arcade-ish? But in a good way.


Definitely not enough japanese styled shooters out there. Will prolly day 1 this.

Knew it. The blonde, twin-tailed girl is not Mika. It's a brand new character named Quartz Angel.

<link=https://www.allgamesdelta.net/2019/12/gungrave-gore-delayed-to-2020.html>Gungrave G.O.R.E Delayed to 2020

Knew it was coming, but thought I share anyway.

<spoiler=Gungrave G.O.R.E Delayed to 2020>
Hello, Gungrave fans! Long time no see and I hope every one of you is doing well.

Gungrave G.O.R.E was going to be released in December 2019 but we have moved the release date to 2020.

The trailer we have revealed during Tokyo Game Show 2019 hit one million views in two weeks. As of today, the trailer hit five million views globally. This has motivated us so much.

Fans of previous titles keep supporting us and those who didn?t know what Gungrave was are now showing interest in us, which gave us the drive to ?make the game even cooler than we wanted to make.? We?ve had hardships and will face even more in the future, but we will not give up and will present you with ?cooler game.?

We would like to mention Sony Interactive Entertainment, Epic Games, Nightow Yasuhiro, Digic Pictures, and all the users who showed us support and wait for the game. We would like to thank all of them for supporting us. Our dream to make this game amazing has become even firmer than before.

We?ve been on the hunt for talented artists and developers to raise the quality of the game. It took us some time to find them, but we were so lucky to find those who agree with, support, and want to be part of our dream with their abilities. We are confident that the quality will be enhanced working with them and because we get to work with them, those hardships felt like nothing.

Mr. Kamikokyuryo, Mr. Benoit, Mr. Robert, and our new signing, Mr. Kawamura gave us new inspiration and with them, we are making something great together. As we were looking into our new members and Gungrave G.O.R.E, we realized we can make something greater than we originally planned. We are moving forward with the thought of ?make something greater.?

As we went through all these processes, we realized that it isn?t possible to release the game in December 2019. It can be said by anyone, but we decided to move the date because we believe that we can come up with something great with amazing quality.

We will release Gungrave G.O.R.E in 2020. Our staff have the same goal and dream. Therefore, we have great teamwork within the team we have. I apologize to those who were looking forward to the game. However, we will come up with something great, so stay tuned!

It?s almost Christmas! I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday!
