Initially released in 2019 in Japan, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a unique story that covers 13 characters and 13 arcs and how their stories cross and interact over time. What makes the story super interesting is that during these individual character arcs, there are science fiction elements that include everything from time travel to apocalyptic mechanical giants!
The series has been planned to release in the west for quite some time, but due to production delays and the looming pandemic, these have been slowed considerably. However, a release date was finally set for later this September, which will allow fans in the states to enjoy the game.
Ahead of its release later this month, a brand new trailer that was recorded with the English voice actors was released. The video also gives a basic idea of gameplay and how the story operates.
With the release so close, now is a great time to clear up schedules because there are 13 stories to be told in just a couple of weeks! Make sure to check out the video below, and don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments!
