The game is known for its combination of anime aesthetic and high-octane combat action sequences.

In Europe, both 'God Eater: Resurrection' and 'God Eater 2: Rage Burst' will be released on August 30, according to Gematsu. Just like in North America, those who purchase 'God Eater 2: Rage Burst' will receive 'God Eater: Resurrection' as a free download.

According to Game Rant, 'God Eater' is not the only video game franchise that is cashing in on the increasing popularity of Japanese anime. Square Enix surprised both the anime and gaming community when it announced that it will produce a five-episode anime series based on its upcoming video game title, 'Final Fantasy XV.'
