Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>On September 30, publisher Koch Media released a new trailer for <em><strong>Gungrave G.O.R.E<\/strong> <\/em>which includes new cinematics and some gameplay footage. Along with the trailer, Koch Media also announced the involvement of former Tango Gameworks creative director Ikumi Nakamura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gungrave G.O.R.E - Gameplay Reveal + Extended Cinematic Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fjs3_g4Vr8g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Gungrave G.O.R.E <\/em>is a third person action-shooter being developed by South Korean studio IGGYMOB. It is a long-awaited sequel to the <em>Gungrave<\/em> series that can be experienced as a stand-alone story on PC and a new generation of consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original <em>Gungrave <\/em>came out in 2002 for PS2, developed by a Japanese studio Red Entertainment. The original story and character designs were handled by Yasuhiro Nightow, the creator of the popular manga series <em>Trigun<\/em>. TV anime series aired the following year, and the hard-boiled, bullet-riddled series created a solid fanbase. Nightow is also involved in the development of <em>Gungrave G.O.R.E<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new trailer includes new cinematics and some gameplay footage. The stylish action of the original, where you dance around and rain bullets down on your enemies, is still present. It is worth noting that the protagonist Beyond the Grave\u2019s ex-friend and a rival, Bunji Kugashira, will return to the game as a playable character. A nice surprise for fans of the series, and we\u2019re intrigued to see how the relationship with Grave will unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yensen Superior!
