Arslan: The Warriors of Legend Demo Coming in January

Koei Tecmo today announced a playable demo for the PlayStation 4 version of the upcoming anime-based tactical action title, Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, will be available to download via PlayStation Network on January 12th and will include a mission from the first stage of the game, taking players through a short tutorial session using two key characters: Arslan, the Prince of Pars, and his protector Daryun. In addition, the demo will showcase a set of new moves and powers developed for Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, such as the Mardan Rush & Weapon Arts special attacks.

Koeoi Tecmo has also announced a new Free Mode feature that will delight fans of the anime. As anyone who has watched The Heroic Legend of Arslan will know, Narsus’s page Elam is a culinary genius, and his cooking often delights his co-travelers during their quest. This gastronomic side of Elam’s has now been incorporated into the battle preparations. During the course of the game, players can locate and collect recipe books hidden throughout the story mode. These can be used in Free Mode prior to battle to give the controlled character an ability boost. The various foods, such as Lamb Skewers, Stewed Chicken, and Potluck Soup can provide different effects such as increased health, attack boosts, healing, bonus gold, bonus experience, and more.

Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is slated for release on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 9th. It will also be simultaneously available digitally on the PlayStation 3.
