The game is slated to come out on April 30th in North America and May 1st in Europe. The Box Art was also revealed, which you can see below:

Customers who pre-order the game will receive exclusive content, which Sony notes “will not be sold anywhere else.” The pre-order contents include two unique costumes for character customization, plus the following three magic items:

• Spirits’ Flamepike – Shards of the spear provided by Fire spirits, unleashing a five hit combo attack with heat effects.
• Spirits’ Blightstone – Explosive stones with poison effects provided by the spirits.
• Spirits’ Fulgurwood – Root provided by the Thunder spirits. Tracks enemies on the ground and attacks with thunder spell.

That’s not all! Those who pre-order will also get a Japanese voiceover track, with Sony stating: “This pack will be sold separately, but the only way to get it right at launch for no added cost is to pre-order.“

Keiji Inafune (the creator of Mega Man) added the following:

I’m excited that we are finally able to announce the release date of Soul Sacrifice. I have put all my passion and soul into the game’s concept and my talented team has made an incredible effort to create the best game it could ever be. I’m confident that we’ve created an extremely engaging game that you will enjoy playing.

The game has become nothing like any other game with an original and deep world settings which could only be possible in a dark fantasy environment. I’m looking forward to you being able to experience the unique adventure of real heroism in Soul Sacrifice. Immerse yourself in the world of Soul Sacrifice and have fun playing it!
