The game is based on Rebuild of Evangelion, a remake of the original Evangelion. It’s a rhythm game that will incorporate action, music, and Eva. The game’s sound and music tracks are being mixed by Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame, and the production is being overseen by Grasshopper’s Goichi Suda.
Rebuild of Evangelion Sound Impact‘s development is 85 percent finished, and the game will be out this September in Japan.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 6:52 PMDoes it have the jerking off scene in the hospital? Might make for a good Kinect version.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 7:39 PMHow about the Asuka strangling scene? Banned in Australia for glorifying violence against women.

When will we get an Eva game that’s worthy? When gaming gods!? When?!!!!

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 7:21 PMExactly. Why can’t the PS3 get the same love? It’s the same as Valkyria Chronicles all over again, i was bloody annoyed when i found out the sequels were PSP only.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 10:36 PMThere is no way they could make an Eva game.. unless they threw out all the lore and story and just made it a giant mech game. Then again id still buy it! :P Go go eva!

Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 11:37 PMNo way, that could definitely make a game fully adapted for the original series & cover all 18 angels. I hope to live to see a EVA game that is either a first-person or 3rd action game! But I swear if they plumped it with QTEs, I think I’ll have lost all hope in the industry…

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 12:35 AMGuys, there was already the N64 Evangelion game, which is the closest thing we’ll get to a decent video game adaptation.

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 1:15 AMPray tell what’s a “typical Eva game”. Have you actually played those games? There’s nothing typical on them.
