Bandai Namco Games has revealed that its hugely popular action game series God Eater, first released in February 2010, is becoming a TV anime. The God Eater series is a huge hit with 2.45 million copies shipped, and it seems the TV anime adaptation will be a new leap forward for the series. The anime adaptation is part of a project syncing up with the fifth anniversary of the series next year. Also revealed concerning the fifth anniversary project is the release of Pachislo God Eater and a Chinese version of the latest game in the series, God Eater 2: Rage Burst.

A key point about the TV anime adaptation is that the animation is being produced by Ufotable which is well-known for high-quality visuals as seen in The Garden of Sinners the Movie, Fate/Zero, and other works. Ufotable is well-known for the animation part of the said series as well as the Tales of series and others, but this is the company’s first time tackling a TV anime series based on a game by Bandai Namco Games. Anticipation is rising over what kind of anime will appear from the God Eater series of games with high-speed action, dense worlds, charming characters, and dramatic stories. Information on the broadcast is yet to be revealed, but since the fifth anniversary project will also be in 2015, chances are high the anime will as well.

The “dramatic suppression action game” God Eater series began on the PSP in February 2010 with God Eater. After this, an enhanced edition of the game, God Eater: Burst, was released, followed by God Eater 2 on the PSP / PS Vita in November 2013. In the game, players become a member of the God Eaters equipped with a Shinki, a transformable weapon capable of three forms, and undergo missions to eradicate monsters. The series’ highlights are its dramatic story and eradication action.
