Instead of showing Bayonetta 3 at Nintendo Direct, Platinum games decided to show off a completely new game which is scheduled to launch this year. Astral chain is an action hack and slash game from the studio behind 2017's Nier Automata and the upcoming Bayonetta 3.

Set in a futuristic cyberpunk version of Japan, you play either as a male or a female cop, along with a twin companion of the opposite gender of your character, fighting off an alien invasion in the city of Ark. Alongside your twin companion, you also get to bring a legion- a living weapon to fight alongside you in the battle between good and evil.

The combat in this game boils down to slashing your enemies with a sword, as well as with a ranged chain like secondary weapon. You can also command your legion to fight for you as well as make strategies to overcome a certain battle scenario. Stealth also seems to be an option according to the above trailer and it seems the players will be able to freely navigate the game's world outside combat.

Astral Chain is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch on 30 August 2019.
