Bandai Namco will be bringing a brand new game exclusively to the PS4 next month in Japan- it’s called City Shrouded in Shadows, and it looks like an acid trip gone very, very wrong (or very, very right depending on where you stand on these things, I suppose).

If you don’t believe me, you can just check out the brand new screenshots for the game, which Bandai Namco released today, for yourself below- you will find that it has a stark, surreal aesthetic, which is likely to make this game have a kind of cult appeal, if it fails to make waves on the market.

As for what these new screenshots show, they introduce a new enemy type, as well as a new mecha dragon, and some new characters. This is, truly, a kind of game that simply could not have existed in a AAA driven games industry (thank you Japanese developers).

City Shrouded in Shadow launches exclusively on the PS4 on October 19.

City Shrouded in Shadow is being developed by Granzella, the creators of the Disaster Report series. In their latest title, players have to survive in a city that is right in the middle of a war between giant robots, kaiju and other heroes from popular Japanese media such as  Ultraman, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The first trailer of the game was revealed back in July, and now the second trailer has been revealed by Bandai Namco at the Tokyo Game Show. In this second trailer, viewers get a look at the various characters in the game as well as the different giant enemies players will come across in the game. Players themselves do not have access to any mechas, but instead must focus on survival. The trailers showcases the huge amount of character interaction present in the game as well as the many choices players can exercise at various junctures, such as choosing the way to escape.

The game is set to release on October 19^th in Japan exclusively for the Playstation 4. As of now, there is no information available regarding a western release.
