Assault Suit Leynos demo assaults Japan this week

There hasn’t been a new Assault Suit game in quite awhile – nearly 10 years to be exact. But Dracue Software will finally release a follow-up, titled Assault Suit Leynos, in Japan this December, and a demo will be released on June 12 for the PlayStation 4.

Assault Suit Leynos is a reboot of sorts to the original Genesis game released in the U.S. in 1990. There was a sequel released for the Saturn in 1997, but that never made it our way.

According to Gematsu, “the demo will feature three playable modes: Arcade Mode (the first two stage), Classic Mode (similar to the Mega Drive version; stages 1 and 4), and Challenge Mode (featuring the Arcade and Classic Mode stages).”
