How is the new character you want to add to the game?

First of all, we have thought about how we can show the continuation of history and how deep we penetrate into them. And to do this, Gaia, Hades and Yang Jian were added as necessary characters. The next, which we thought was what characters would delight the players in the West and in Asia, and we decided to add the famous characters Achilles, Jeanne d'Arc and Ryu Hayabusa. ****

Which of the new characters added to the game is personally most exciting for you when players take their hands in hand?

I think the players will enjoy them all, but if I had to decide for one, it would be Gaia. In contrast to the other characters, players can enjoy exciting fights with Hecatoncheir. ****

The infinity mode focuses more on the gameplay that takes over game and challenge elements that represent the greatest differences to story mode. The players feel comfortable if they master many challenges while improving the characters.

How does the opportunity to combine sacred treasures with other characters and the new Musou Switch combination, the fight?

By changing Sacred Treasures, players can have more fun to develop their own style than in the previous game. While the Musou Switch Combo is just as exciting, the change from Sacred Treasures is an attack agent to collect even more experience points (EXP). We hope the players have fun to collect many experience points.

Players can make their favorite characters even stronger and they talk about their personal preferences.

Can players look forward to additional content, such as new challenges or new weapons and armor or anything else in this direction?

In terms of content, these are characters, history (fighting), new weapons, new sacred treasures, new materials (to strengthen weapons), new modes (infinity mode, challenge mode). Otherwise there are additional elements that are directly related to the game, eg. B. additional skills.

The PS5 will have a Zen 2 processor, which represents a big jump over the CPUs of the PS4 and Xbox One. How will you help you with the development of the future in the development of games of the future?

Through the dramatic improvement of the processing speed and the amount that can be processed, we expect more advanced Ki-and larger control options as well as various advanced and / or high-speed simulations.

I do not believe that the downward compatibility will lead directly to future opportunities for our previous library.

Downward compatibility is a large feature of PS5. How will your previous library help to evolve and grow?

I do not believe that the downward compatibility will lead directly to future opportunities for our previous library. I think the downward compatibility is an advantage for the first start of the PS5 and extends the life of the PS4 hardware.
