Additionally, the company shared information on the game’s “Story Mode+” system, which plays out its near-future dystopian story in real-time without stopping the action, and limited print physical edition courtesy of Limited Run Games. (In Japan, the game will be available at standard retail.)

Get the details below.

Story Mode+

As the world’s only Adept with the ability to seal others’ powers, Kirin dispatches on a mission from her organization, Shadow Yakumo, to deal with the one-and-only Gunvolt. The Adept once known as the Azure Striker, Gunvolt has transformed into a “Primal Dragon” and been sealed behind 1000 sacred swords.

As the story progresses, more and more fascinating characters take the stage, delivering fully voiced dialogue without stopping the high-paced action thanks to the Story Mode+ system.

Characters will talk and banter during gameplay, allowing their personalities to shine and the story to develop without diluting the pure action gameplay.

And for the first time in the Gunvolt series, English-speaking fans can enjoy the real-time “Story Mode+” conversations without taking their eyes from the action!

About the Game

The Gunvolt series began in 2014 with the digital-exclusive 3DS game Azure Striker Gunvolt. In 2016, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 continued the story of hero Gunvolt alongside his rival Copen. And now, in 2022, Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 finally picks up where 2 left off as an official sequel.

New protagonist Kirin fights alongside Gunvolt, allowing players to switch characters on the fly, adding a new element to the series’ high-speed 2D action gameplay. Familiar faces will return as “Image Pulses,” a new system that allows players to use characters from Gunvolt’s past in combat with over 150 varieties available!

Thanks to the cooperation of Keiji Inafune (LEVEL5 comcept CCO), series executive producer / action supervisor, Inti Creates has evolved Gunvolt 3‘s action to exceed the expectations of modern players on the Nintendo Switch platform. Players will be blown away by the speedy and precise action on display in Azure Striker Gunvolt 3!

Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is due out for Switch on July 28.
