Azure Striker Gunvolt 2: footage, OST previews (+ album), second trailer for the OVA

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will be available in a few hours in Japan (at 12AM JST… in fact, it most likely will be by the time you read this!), and to celebrate, Inti Creates held a livestream today on NicoNico. They showcased more of the game, shared two soundtrack previews, and also made a couple of announcements.

Let’s start with the gameplay footage, which shows Ghauri’s stage:

Next, we have the two soundtrack previews. The two tracks previewed are:

• Iolide (by Lumen)

• Multi-Universe (also by Lumen)

Talking of music, Inti Creates announced that the Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Original Soundtrack album would be released on September 27th in Japan. We don’t know the price or tracklist yet, but it was announced the album would include over 70 tracks (including the two special tracks for the Shovel Knight collaboration).

Next, we have a second trailer for the Azure Striker Gunvolt OVA, releasing this Winter in Japan. It was initially shown during a Dengeki Online livestream, a few days ago, but this version has voice acting!

During the livestream, two more announcements were made:

• Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will be playable at the Tokyo Games Show in September, on the Indie booth;
• the Inti Creates Fan Festa 20th Anniversary will be held later this year, and there will be a Morpho Super Live there. More details will be announced at a later date.

Finally, you can find a new wallpaper on the game’s official website!

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (3DS eShop) comes out on August 25th in Japan, and September 30th in Europe and North America. The Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack will release at retail on the same day in Japan and North America.
