Tecmo Koei Europe has announced a number of exciting titles currently under development for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStationVita, and slated for release in the first months of 2014.

Toukiden The Age of Demons

TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS

Following a ground breaking success in Japan where its current sales stand well over the 400,000 mark, an impressive feat for an original IP, Toukiden: the Age of Demons is now being localised for release in Europe for the PlayStation Vita handheld system.

In Toukiden, players can customise characters, weapons and armour and form a group of hunters to take down the destructive Oni- demons of varying strength and size who have invaded the world through cracks in space and time. This visually stunning game boasts an extensive character creation mode, six non-player characters beautifully designed by Atelier Ayesha artist Hidari, and six different weapon types, each of which can be forged and upgraded to the player’s preferences. Toukiden: The Age of Demons, is set against a backdrop inspired by various historical periods of Japan, while it also features 200 characters based on both fictional and historical Japanese figures, whose souls help players strengthen their team and defeat their enemies.

ATELIER ESCHA AND LOGY: ALCHEMISTS OF THE DUSK SKY

The latest instalment in the long-loved Atelier series, Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky, is a direct sequel to Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk and will be released in Europe in early 2014 for the PlayStation3.

For the first time in PlayStation3, Atelier series players can choose if they will follow the story of Escha or Logy, a novelty that offers a unique story perspective and gameplay experience. Escha’s story is a delightful tale of the everyday adventures of an alchemist that Atelier series’ fans love, whereas Logy’s story follows a darker approach filled with traditional RPG elements and focused on world exploration.

DECEPTION IV: BLOOD TIES

From the producer of Fatal Frame comes the re-imagining of the classic Tecmo title ‘Devil’s Deception’, first released in 1996 on the PlayStation. The Deception series uniquely focuses in giving players a taste of what it’s like to play on the side of evil by using a wide variety of imaginative traps to exact revenge on their adversaries.

Deception IV: Blood Ties is being developed for the PlayStation 3  and the PlayStation Vita and is, much like its predecessors, a strategy focused action series where players control a main character that defeats enemies by luring them into imaginative traps.

Diablo III Auction House to Close

Diablo III is going to remove the gold and real-money auction house system from the game.

Diablo and Blizzard Entertainment initially designed and implemented the auction house system, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But after much review and player feedback, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo’s core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot.

Diablo and Blizzard Entertainment are working out the details of how the auction house system will be shut down, but wanted to share the news as soon as Diablo and Blizzard Entertainment made the decision in order to give everyone as much advance notice as possible. Please note that the final shutdown will occur on March 18, 2014. We will keep everyone informed as we work through this process, stay tuned to Diablo 3.com for further details.
