New Capcom Slasher Is The God Of War Of The East

Capcom’s press event tonight contained a pleasant surprise: an all-new title from the Japanese developer, going by the name of Asura’s Wrath.

It’s a multiplatform hack-and-slash title, blending elements of Eastern mythology and religion, including a giant Buddha in space.

The game is still quite early in development, Capcom says.

    God of War of the East?

    “BUUUUUUUUUDDHA!!!! Your son has returned!”

    *checks wiki to see if Buddha had a son*

    “The son you didn’t know about!”

    Do I have to make the first crack about ‘being fingered by Buddha’?

    Also, if it’s using the Unreal 3 engine is it too much to hope for a PC release?
