The impossible-to-put-into-a-single-genre game 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim launches on Switch on 12th April - that's just a few weeks away. In anticipation, Atlus has dropped a brand-new trailer for Vanillaware's mecha versus kaiju narrative adventure, which hints at some of the mysteries you'll be solving.
As the studio behind Odin Sphere, Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Dragon's Crown, Vanillaware has a reputation for creating beautiful and unique games that twist genre boundaries. Even with that in mind, 13 Sentinels is its most ambitious title to date. Our friends over at Push Square said as much in a glowing review back when the PS4 version came out in 2020.
It sounds like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is one of those games you absolutely have to play as spoiler-free as possible, and of those of us who haven't played it yet, we're doing our best! We're even trying to not look at these screenshots in case there are any hints - even if they're impossible to ignore because of how beautiful they are.
Don't forget, pre-orders are now live from various retailers, which you can also check out over on Atlus' website. It won't cost a kaiju-sized amount, either. And even if you've played it on PS4 already, the Switch version will have some bonus content in the form of two new armaments for each of the 13 characters. So why not double-dip?
Will you be picking up 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on Switch next month? Let us know in the comments.

Will be getting this day one (if Amazon behaves), super keen.
Let’s see... I'm picking up Kirby this week, Star Wars on April 5th, and then Aegis Rim the week following that. I'm looking forward to each one and will eventually play them all, but I think Aegis will bump everything when it arrives.
I've been enjoying the demo version off of the Japanese eshop - it's been a nice introduction to the characters so far.
The silent A in Aegis is so distracting to me. Man, anime loves that word. 🙃
Can't wait for this one!!
Already beat it on PS4, still getting it day 1 on Switch to play it again.
Already preordered...been waiting for this for a long time.
Will be throwing down a preorder in the hope this sells well enough to convince Vanillaware to bring Dragon's Crown, Muramasa, and Odin Sphere to Switch.
Where can I preorder the physical release?
Unless they fix the bad translation it had on PS4 I will skip it.
@NinjaWaddleDee
If you are in the US, I was able to preorder from Gamestop no problem. The store manager was like, "WHAT?! It's coming to SWITCH?! I love that game!! Thank you for letting me know!"
@Teksetter Thanks!
F#ck yeah. I was devastated when it was canned on the Vita. No, like Catherine before it, I shall get another lost Vita game on my switch.
I'm trying to remain as unspoiled as possible for this one!....Well, outside of the stellar soundtrack that occasionally pops up during my YT work listening.
So excited for this game! I was going to buy a copy for PS4 when it was on sale, but it sold out. I'd rather have it for Switch anyway. Best Buy has pre-orders up here in the US. I'm sure this will look beautiful on my Switch OLED!
@Tobiaku I played the game on PS4 (got the platinum trophy and everything), and I have no idea what you mean about a bad translation.
@imgrowinglegs Well, maybe the whole thing is not bad, but there are parts of it that are funky.
