The Lost Child is the new game by the creator of El Shaddai, which is a dungeon crawling RPG about an occultist who gets caught up in a war without warning. The gameplay will allow players to capture up to 100 monsters, each with three unique forms, and with over 250 skills to learn. Suffice it to say, fans of Pokemon will probably find plenty to like with the new game.

The game will be coming to North America and Europe on June 19, courtesy of NIS America. Not only that, but it will be releasing on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and the Nintendo Switch—albeit on the Vita, it will get a digital only release (you can pick up physical copies on the other two systems, though).

You can never have enough dungeon crawlers, and especially on the Switch and PS4, the genre remains woefully under-represented, so I am sure fans will enjoy The Lost Child when it launches in a few months.

The Lost Child, the new game (and sort of follow-up) to El Shaddai by the maker of that game, might be coming to the west from NIS America- as DualShockers reports, it sounds like NISA uploaded the announcement trailer for the western release of the game to YouTube early by mistake today.

They took the trailer down instantly- but all subscribers to the channel got the notification when the trailer as uploaded, meaning the surprise has officially been leaked at this point. The Lost Child will be hitting the PS4 and PS Vita (the same two platforms that it released on in Japan), and is inextricably linked to El Shaddai, with protagonist Enoch even making a return in this game.

Of course, while this leak comes from the most reliable source there is, it still is a leak, meaning that formally, there has been no official announcement- it seems like we might have to wait a bit for that.

Takeyasu Sawaki, the director and character designer of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, has announced his new game- The Lost Child, a new command based turn based RPG coming for the PS4 and PS Vita this Summer in Japan.

The Lost Child will be set in the same mythology as El Shaddai, and in fact its story will be connected to it. There will also be monster collecting elements in the game, ala Pokemon, Digimon, Yokai Watch, Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest, and Persona, as you will be able to enslave Astrals (the primary enemies) and recruit them to be allies.

It has an arresting premise following high concept philosophy and supernatural phenomena- lovers of SMT and Persona should be interested. Check out a trailer for it for yourself below, and stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage and information on the game. Make sure to let us know in the comments if you’re interested in picking this up when it gets localized as well.
