The official website for the recently announced God Eater anime has been updated with a brand new visual for the upcoming series.
The anime itself will be produced by ufotable, who are known for animating Fate/Zero and the upcoming Fate/stay night series, as well as the animated cutscenes in recent Tales of games, also published by Bandai Namco Games.
ufotable have also produced an animated sequence for the upcoming God Eater Pachi Slot:
God Eater is an Action Role Playing, Hack n Slash game developed by Shift and published by Bandai Namco Games. The games are set in a dystopian future Japan, where large monsters called Aragami have destroyed most of mankind. In the games you play as a God Eater, a small group of soldiers whose sole purpose is to defeat the Aragami using weapons made from the Aragami’s cells. A total of 3 games have been released since its start in 2010. The first game in the series released in Japan in February 2010 for the PlayStation Portable with an updated release titled Gods Eater Burst later in the year, where it also released internationally. A direct sequel to the game was published last year in Japan on the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita. The game has been announced to be localised, but no date has been given yet.
Additionally, here is a anime stylised picture of the main characters of God Eater 2 that was produced for the God Eater 2 cafe.
Not much is currently known about the God Eater anime. Further information will be released in the upcoming months.
