Santa Clara, CA (March 21, 2007) - Namco Bandai today announced that Eureka Seven Vol. 2: The New Vision has gone gold and will hit retail shelves on April 17.

From Namco Bandai:

Available exclusively for the PlayStation 2, Eureka Seven Vol. 2 brings to life the second prequel leading up to the popular animated series with gorgeous environments, multiple game-play modes, and addictive futuristic combat.

Players take on the role of Sumner Sturgeon, a deserter of a corrupt military organization and star of a futuristic sport called "lifting" where participants ride futuristic "ref-boards" that float on atmospheric particles. After becoming disillusioned with the life of professional lifting, Sumner embarks on a quest to locate and destroy the CFS (Compact Feedback System), a new and dangerous technology. Staying true to the anime series' roots, Eureka Seven Vol. 2 utilizes a unique combination of lifting (ref-board racing) and futuristic combat while offering up compelling gameplay.

Featuring the ability to pilot 17 massive robots known as LFOs (Light Finding Operations), each with its own look, attacks, and weapons, Eureka Seven Vol. 2 gives players an incredibly unique experience during combat and cut scenes. Gamers can also sharpen their skills by fending off waves of enemies in Survival mode or take on special missions that require the use of new combat techniques in Conflict mode.
