City Shrouded in Shadow (Japanese: 巨影都市 Kyoei Toshi) is a video game for the PlayStation 4 developed by Granzella, who confirmed that it is the spiritual successor to their Disaster Report series of games.[1] The objective of the game is to escape a city ravaged by battles between giant monsters, kaiju, robots, and heroes from famous live-action and animated Japanese series such as Godzilla, the Ultra Series, Gamera, Patlabor, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.[2]

Plot

The game is set in the fictional Ichi City in Japan , which is being beset by sinister shadows and giant monsters.[3] The player will be able to choose between either playing as a man called Ken Misaki or a woman called Miharu Matsuhara (the character may be renamed), with the objective being to try to escape the city.[4]

Development

The game was announced on September 17, 2015. It was developed by Granzella and directed by Kazuma Kujo.[5] Takashi Watabe is producing on behalf of publisher Bandai Namco.[6]

Ultraman was confirmed to appear in the game on 16 February 2016.[7] The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu confirmed that Godzilla would appear in the game.[8] Godzilla had previously been teased by having his shadowy silhouette appear in screenshots.[4] An Evangelion mecha was also teased to appear.[9]

Famitsu confirmed in May 2017 that Gamera would also appear in the game.[10] In May 2017 it was announced that the PS Vita version was cancelled[10]and the title became a PS4-only exclusive.

The game launched on October 19, 2017 in Japan.[11]

Reception

The game sold 48,935 copies within its first week on sale in Japan, placing it at number two on the all format sales charts.[12]
