Developed by the Bandai Namco team behind the God Eater series, this PS4/XB1/PC release is—you guessed it—yet another post-apocalyptic, open-world, action-RPG. You play as an extra-powerful (but amnesiac) vampire known as a Revenant, and you'll need plenty of blood to avoid becoming "Lost." You'll also get to select an AI companion to help you navigate the dystopian environment. Gameplay (especially combat) looks to be modeled after Dark Souls, though the visuals carry an anime aesthetic.
