Spike Chunsoft released the character visuals and cast for its localization of Crystar. The action RPG will be released in North America and Europe in 27 August for PS4 and Steam. The game will include both English and Japanese sound files.

The game is about two sisters dragged into the afterworld of Purgatory.

Rei Hatada (VA: Brianna Knickerbocker)

The protagonist who fights in Purgatory to bestow Revival to the sister she killed. The story isn’t about saving the world, but pursuing her ego as she wishes to bring her sister back to life. Despite facing despair and weeping over her weakness and uncertainty, she has the strength to press on.

Though quiet and serious, when she becomes emotional she demonstrates an intensity that’s directly opposed to her usual, soft-spoken demeanor. She is capable of doing anything to protect those she cares for.

Anamnesis (VA: Laura Post)

A humanoid Revenant who drags Rei and Mirai into Purgatory. She causes Rei to kill Mirai.

Anamnesis seeks Mirai’s Soul as it wanders through Purgatory. An enemy deeply connected to Rei by fate, they cross paths many times throughout Rei’s journey to the depths of Purgatory.

In secret, she has been working to attain Revival in order to regain her memories about someone precious to her, and to have her revenge.

Mephis (VA: Cassandra Lee Morris)

One of the managers of Purgatory who collect the crystallized form of tears known as Idea. The dogmatic type who speaks with archaic phrasing.

Mirai Hatada (VA: Michelle Marie)

She is dragged into Purgatory by a certain Revenant along with her sister, Rei. Rei loses her sense of self and, out of control, ends up attacking her. The story revolves around Rei’s quest to bestow Revival to her sister.

Pheles (VA: Jackie Lastra)

One of the managers of Purgatory who collect the crystallized form of tears known as Idea. The creepy, unstable type.

Here is the announcement trailer:

The game will have 2 editions: a standard edition that will include a Summer Collection Costume DLC and a day-one edition that includes a mini-artbook.
