Agarest Zero is released in two weeks
Hi everyone. Since we announced the Steam release of Agarest: Generations of War Zero we’ve been asked two questions*:
“When is it coming out?” and: “When can I pre-order it?”
I’m pleased to say that I can now finally answer both questions! The answers are, respectively:
“The 17th of April”, and: “Later today.”
That’s right, pre-orders for Agarest Zero will go live later today on Steam, with the game being released on the 17th April priced at just $19.99. What’s more, if you pre-order the game you’ll get a 20% discount, meaning you’ll get Agarest Zero for the bargain price of $15.99.
So what is Agarest: Generations of War Zero? I hear you cry. Agarest Zero is the prequel to the bestselling SRPG Agarest: Generations of War and like its predecessor originally brought its great mixture of in depth strategy and epic multi generational storytelling to console.
Those of you who enjoyed the first game in the series will be pleased to know that some great new features have been added to Agarest Zero.
The new Vacation Days allow you to get to know your party members better and unlock bonus items and locations by visiting various places in the towns. Not only that but as you build your relationship with the rest of your party you will unlock new costumes for them to wear.
In addition some of you may have noticed that the original conversations in Agarest: Generations of War were a little static. Not any more as the Motion Portrait system brings them to life with subtle animations which really help to immerse you in the games world.
With various other changes such as improved graphics and a brand new card system to allow you to customise your starting character this is an upgrade you won’t want to miss.
With so many improvements Laughing Jackal couldn't help themselves and also brought new PC improvements such as cloud saving (which has also been added to Agarest very recently), the ability to decide which direction you wish the controls to be offset in and a big request that we met was a revamping of the DLC menu. We have now given you more control over how the DLC is managed. You can now pick and choose how it is added to your existing saves.
