El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron Release Date Announced

UTV Ignition Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment announced today that a new combat game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will be released in European regions by Konami. El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron tells the story of a lone warrior tasked with saving the human race.

The game is set in a world in chaos, overseen by a number of angels named the Grigori. Originally the servants of God, these celestial beings once watched over mankind, but soon succumbed to temptation and abandoned Heaven to live amongst the people of earth. After witnessing the Grigori’s negative influence on humanity and the construction of a blasphemous monument to their success, the Tower of Babel, the Heavenly Council pledged to cleanse the Earth with a great flood, thus eradicating both man and the errant angels.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron will be released on the 8th September 2011.
