Fans of the "God Eater" franchise can expect more hacking and slashing. The sci-fi action role-playing game (RPG) series where cute tiny fighters in anime-style graphics cut up giant monsters will be coming back for the third time.

The game's publisher, Bandai Namco, has released the teaser trailer for "God Eater 3" which shows the game's likely hero escaping from some futuristic handcuffs in order to wallop some Aragami, the main antagonist in the series.

In the game's official description, Bandai Namco said that "God Eater 3" will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors:

"Team up with your other God Eaters to take down monstrous new Aragami that are tearing apart locations around the globe. But this won't be your only mission, something is happening to the God Eaters and the line between dark and light have never been so thin... It's time to start breaking free from the cursed shackles that bind the soul of the God Eaters while the battle will rush as never before."

It can be remembered that a new "God Eater" project was publicized at the Tokyo Game Show in 2016, where series producer Yusuke Tomizawa was seen wearing a t-shirt with the number 3, sparking talks that the project had been greenlighted.

The first game was released for the PlayStation Portable in 2010 but was transferred to PlayStation 4, Vita and PC version for Windows 10 in the form of a remake titled "God Eater Resurrection" last year.

The game sold a total of 167,857 copies for both PlayStation 4 and Vita within the first week of release in Japan. Majority of those copies that were sold was for the Vita version, taking the top spot in the Japanese software sales chart for that week.

So far, Bandai Namco hasn't listed the specific gaming platforms for "God Eater 3", but based on the press release, the game is being developed for a home gaming console.
