Astral Chain launches this Friday and we’re VERY excited!
An awesome new Nintendo franchise will be born this Friday as Astral Chain, an exciting new action-adventure from PlatinumGames, launches only on Nintendo Switch. Join an elite task force and work together with a special living weapon to solve cases and save mankind!
In the near future, Earth has been invaded by otherworldly creatures known as chimeras. Corrupting the world with a mysterious substance called Red Matter, these monsters have forced mankind to take refuge on a multi-cultural city called the Ark.
When the chimeras reach the Ark, the only hope for survival is Neuron, an elite police task force with a very special weapon codenamed Legion. Choose between two playable characters – one male, one female – to join Neuron’s ranks and work with the Legion to stop the invasion once and for all!
Fight back against the chimera invasion with your Legion, working as a team to take down two foes simultaneously or by combining your abilities to overwhelm a single opponent. Alternate between multiple Legion types and combat styles to mix up your attacks and pull off all kinds of stylish combos!
Our friends at Eurogamer described Astral Chain as…
A sprawling, maximalist adventure that binds together police procedural, overstated pugilism and so many different genres in-between, it’s the most fun I’ve had with one of Platinum’s titles since Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Heck, it might even be Platinum’s best game yet.

We’re excited, you should be too! Astral Chain arrives August 30th on Nintendo Switch.
