Gungrave was a popular anime back in the day, and there was a pretty decent (albeit short) 3rd person game for the PS2 that came out back in 2012. The property has recently been revived, and instead of going the straight 3rd person route again, Marvelous Europe announced that the title will be called Gungrave VR, and will feature a mix between third person and first person game modes with VR capabilities.
In Gungrave VR, players take control of the undead assassin Brandon, aka, Beyond the Grave, wielding his iconic pair of big-ass handguns, called cerberus, and will have to master different playstyles to take down the the variety of foes that stand in his way. Levels consist either of free-moving third-person gameplay or first-person shooting that includes both stationary and mobile sections in a variety of modes. You'll switch between a wide array of shooting attacks, close-range strikes using Grave's Death Coffin, slow-motion Reaper Time, and more.
There will also be a deluxe edition, titled Gungrave VR: Loaded Coffin Edition, which will include both Gungrave VR and Gungrave VR U.N, will launch simultaneously with the base game on 7th December, 2018 in both physical and digital form. In addition to fast paced gunplay in the base game, the standalone episode Gungrave VR U.N will add three levels with new side-scrolling gameplay, massive bosses, and original opening and ending animated movies.
All content from Gungrave VR and Gungrave VR U.N are included within Gungrave VR: Loaded Coffin Edition, and you can see what you get below, plus a trailer.
