#El Shaddai Game Makes Its PC Debut This April

Following up on its December 2020 reveal, a release window has been announced for the PC port of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. Sawaki Takeyasu’s action game first launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2011, so what better way to celebrate its 10th anniversary than a mid-April release on Steam. 

The Steam version of El Shaddai will feature English and Japanese audio and subtitle support.  

Developer Crim describes the story:

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron combines many genre elements with its rich and detailed storyline, its glorious anime style graphical presentation that changes dramatically as the player progresses through a totally mesmeric experience. With the recent rise of the graphical novel games, what is offered within El Shaddai goes far beyond these confines in that action, strategy and platforming are just a few of the challenges and exciting dangers that unfold.

The story is inspired by the apocryphal Book of Enoch, and follows a scribe seeking seven fallen angels to prevent a great flood from destroying mankind. He is helped in his quest by Lucifel, a guardian angel in charge of the protection of the world who exists outside of the flow of time, alongside four Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.
