About Tokyo Ghoul:re Call to Exist
If you are not familiar with the Tokyo Ghoul franchise (which is very unlikely), here's the summary of what is happening in this world:
The streets of Tokyo witnessed many fierce battles between the Ghouls and the Investigators, in which they embracing everything they've got to fight for surviving. To be more specific, the Ghouls are the human with supernatural powers and also a burden: they need to eat human's flesh to survive. Certainly, working for the government, the Investigators don't want those dangerous 'creatures' to exist.
Their relationship doesn't allow them to live under the same sky. Hence, the conflicts between them happen every day, and it's even more severe in Tokyo Ghoul:re Call to Exist. Uniting every character in the franchise, including Tokyo Ghoul, Tokyo Ghoul √A, and Tokyo Ghoul:re, the game is coming for PS4 and PC soon.
According to Bandai Namco, Tokyo Ghoul:re Call to Exist is a survival action game, in which you'll take control of a character from either side to fights with the others in the battles of life and death. Each character has their own abilities and weapons, which you can take advantage of in the third-person perspective to defeat the enemies and survive.
From the trailer above, we can safely say that the battles will take place in 3D graphics, and it's going to be gorgeous with detailed visuals. Additionally, the game will feature both online and offline mode, which players can choose to dive in freely. In the online mode, players will be put in a 4v4 match, striving to survive.
