Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash announced for PS4 [Update: over 30 characters, PlayStation VR support]




The latest Senran Kagura game is an action shooting game called Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash for PlayStation 4, it will launch on March 16 in Japan.


In it, players will use a water gun and partake in exciting team battles.



Weekly Famitsu has an outline of the game, as well as an interview with producer Kenichiro Takaki and information on the limited editions and first-print bonuses, but further details have yet to leak.



Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is a third-person shooter.



Peach Beach Splash is the name of a mysterious water gun tournament from the ancient days in the world of the shinboi. The game disregards entirely the characters’ standpoints of good shinobi or bad shinobi, and their special abilities as shinobi are disabled as victory can only be attained through the use of water guns.

Weapons include dual pistols, Gatling guns, sniper rifles, and various other types of water guns. You can also set cards that grant these weapons skills and special ability effects.



Battles are five-on-five team-based fights using water guns. There is online multiplayer in addition to a story mode, and the game will feature over 30 characters, plus α (Editor’s note: I’m not sure what this is referring to.) The series’ mainstay finishing techniques will also appear further enhanced in Peach Beach Splash.



Here are a few tidbits from Famitsu’s interview with producer Kenichiro Takaki:



The story of Peach Beach Splash is part of the main storyline. There are plans to develop a new Senran Kagura from this title.

There will also be a new Senran Kagura action game in the future.

There are plans to include popular characters and such from the mobile game Senran Kagura: New Wave G Burst.

Takaki wants to finally put the series in one big world.

The game is being made so that both beginners and advanced players can enjoy it.

They are considering the extent that players can intervene when it comes to costume destruction.

The amount of costumes worth getting wet have increased. There’s also a considerable volume of swimsuits.

There are plans to support PlayStation VR with some modes. Support may be added in an update after the release.

There are about 10 types of water guns.

There are plans for downloadable content that adds stories, costumes, and characters. They want to do collaborations, too.

Just remembering all of the censorship nonsense from last year and hoping I don't have to see it again.

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash Producer Explains Why it’s PS4 Exclusive; Would Like a Steam Release

The newly revealed Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is the first Senran Kagura game developed exclusively for PS4, and Producer Kenichiro Takaki told DualShockers the reasons behind that choice during a recent chat.

Takaki-san explained that the graphics are going to be way better (than in the previous games), and he’s planning to include PlayStation VR features. He also mentioned that PS4 is his favorite platform to work with: not only he likes the console, but since the visual level is high, it allows the display of the girls’ cuteness in greater detail.

That said, Takaki-san revealed that he’d also like to release the game on Steam at some point in the future.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash Interview: Producer Talks PS4, Fanservice, VR Features and Much More

Back at Tokyo Game Show, I had a lovely chat with Producer Kenichiro Takaki about the new game and the series in general. Of course, I was sworn to absolute secrecy until today, and I wasn’t able to tell you anything about Peach Beach Splash until the official reveal. It was pure torture.

That’s why a few of the questions below might sound slightly odd. When you have to conduct an interview mainly on a game that hasn’t been announced, with the article coming out after the reveal weeks later, you have to improvise a bit.

That said, Takaki-san talked about a broad variety of topics, including the fanservice we all know and love, the inspiration for the leap of faith to the third person shooter genre, platforms, virtual reality features, his view on the current situation of the Japanese gaming industry, and more.

Interpretation during the interview was provided by XSEED Games, but you shouldn’t take that as a hint for the localization of the new game. Nothing has been announced yet on that front.

Giuseppe: What can you tell us about the future of the Senran Kagura series?

Kenichiro Takaki: This year September 22nd marks the anniversary of the Senran Kagura series…

G: Happy Birthday!

KT: (Laughs) So I’d like to release a new and exciting Senran Kagura game hopefully every year, after this.

G: Can you tell us more about this new announcement that has just been revealed?

KT: Senran Kagura has been an action game series so far, but this new game [the newly announced Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash] is going to be the beginning of a new story, and it’ll be a third person shooter.

G: What prompted you to choose third person shooter as the genre for your new game?

KT: As a gamer, I have been playing FPS and TPS games, and I like them a lot. I always wanted to do something within those genres, but this time it’s going to be about water guns.

G: That’s quite appropriate. Since you like shooters, which one is your favorite?

KT: Probably Battlefield...

G: So you’re waiting for Battlefield 1?

KT: Yeah!

G: Me too!

KT: I can’t wait!

G: Can we expect the elements of the series that we’re used to? Lots of fanservice, ripped clothes, big bouncy breasts and the like?

KT: You can imagine that when you get soaked in water, clothing becomes see-through and you know what’s gonna happen. There’s going to be a lot of fanservice as well.

G: What platform will it be on?

KT: PlayStation 4.

G: PlayStation 4 only?

KT: Yes.

G: Since for the first time it’s going to be exclusively for PlayStation 4, are you going to use the power of the console to achieve better graphics?

KT: The graphics are going to be better, and I’m planning to support VR.

G: Will it be a title fully supporting Virtual Reality?

KT: It’s not a VR game. It’ll have some VR features.

G: Since we’re talking about the latest consoles, are you interested in working on Nintendo NX?

KT: I’m very interested in the NX too, and I’d like to eventually work on the console.

G: Shooters are divided pretty much in two main categories. Some are really technical and require skill and teamwork like Battlefield, while others are more accessible like Call of Duty. Which side is your shooter going to lean towards?

KT: It’s not going to be an hardcore shooter, but more of an easy to play and to chill out with game. Novices will still be able to play and enjoy the game.

G: Are you going to try to get it released in the west as soon as possible, or we’ll have to wait long for this one?

KT: I remember that when we released Shinovi Versus in Japan, it took a while to launch in the west. With Estival Versus that time span got shorter. I’m trying to make the Japanese and North American releases closer and closer.

G: What is your favorite platform to work on?

KT: Indeed, it’s the PS4. Not only I like it, but It allows me to show the details on the girls. The visual level is so high that I can showcase the girls’ cuteness in greater detail.

G: Past Senran Kagura games are starting to appear on Steam. Do you think you’d like to port this game to Steam as well in the future?

KT: I’d like to do that, yes.

G: You worked with Nintendo before. Your games seem the kind of titles that Nintendo would feel awkward about. After all, they even censor their own games. Did they ever give you problems about the content of Senran Kagura?

KT: There weren’t actual restrictions, or anything that they actually told me not to do, but I did feel the pressure from Nintendo. But, you know, after we discussed so many times, we managed to make it happen.

With the first game there was a lot of confusion on Nintendo’s part, because they didn’t really know the gameplay, and they only saw the sexy side. Yet, after they saw what the actual gameplay was like, they didn’t have any problem because they knew what the game was all about. For Senran Kagura 2 it wasn’t that hard.

G: You games do have quite a lot of fanservice, but the gameplay is definitely good. There are quite a lot of developers that make games that are just fanservice, and they sell because of that. Is it difficult to balance your games in a way that helps gamers easily understand that beyond the fanservice there is actually solid gameplay, and that they can have fun even if they don’t particularly care for the fanservice?

KT: It’s really hard, especially for people playing Senran Kagura for the first time, they will see the fanservice side. Yet I try to make my games not just adult in nature, but also fun. There are the boobs and all that, but I try to make them not too serious in their sexual style. That way people can still enjoy the gameplay side.

G: It’s more comedic than something actually sexual…

KT: Exactly. I’m not sure how people feel in the west about the mix between sexuality and comedy, but as a Japanese, I try to make my games as sexy comedies and fun.

G: Don’t get me wrong, I love the fanservice side of your games, but how do you feel about making games without any fanservice?

KT: I’ve been involved with Vocaloid rhythm games that don’t have fanservice, and I also made a solid RPG series Half-Minute Hero that doesn’t have fanservice as well.

G: Did you miss it?

KT: I like to do both sides, fanservice games and solid RPGs and similar games.

G: Games featuring fanservice keep being very popular in Japan, and they seem to be thriving even lately. For instance Tamsoft just announced a couple. Why do you think they are so popular here?

KT: It’s actually hard to describe, but I think that typical gamers are getting fewer in Japan, and some people just purchase one game for the whole year and then play it for a long time. On the other hand there are core gamers. So if people make many fanservice games, they stand out, and that’s why some might feel that they’re getting popular.

Nowadays gamers are leaning towards mobile games in Japan, and that’s why not as many people buy console games. That said, PS4 is getting more popular lately, so I hope that gamers will come back to the console side, so people won’t just feel that it’s a rare type of game just popping up and getting attention. Once people embrace the PS4, more and more genres of games might come back.

G: Two or three years ago, more and more Japanese developers moved to smartphones. Do you think that with PS4 not just consumers, but also developers are coming back to the console space?

KT: I think that maybe some are coming back, but it’s really difficult, because they have been gone for a while. Technically they might not be capable. It’s gonna be tough.

G: Let’s go back to Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash. What made you decide on a third person shooter as opposed to a first person shooter?

KT: Because I wanted to see the girls’ butts and boobs, and it’s easier to see them in third person.

G: I kind of imagined that could have been the case, but I didn’t want to assume.

KT: (Laughs)

G: Are the veteran characters from the Senran Kagura series going to return?

KT: Yes, It’s going to be about the characters of the Senran Kagura series.

G: Are we going to see any new characters?

KT: There are going to be new characters.

G: Is the game going to be single player only or multiplayer as well?

KT: It’s going to have both, and it’ll be 5 versus 5.

G: So it’s not gonna be 64 players like Battlefield.

KT: I’d like to do it, but no.

G: Team Ninja has its Soft Engine for body physics, are you preparing something similar for your game?

KT: I know the people from Team Ninja, but I’m trying to create an even more awesome boob engine.

G: Is there friendly competition on who makes the better boobs?

KT: I’m going to make the best boobs.

G: Personally, I feel that one of the best elements to portray charming girls in video games is hair. The PS4 certainly grants room for better hair animation. Are you also focusing on that aspect as well, and can we expect improvement from previous games?

KT: I understand what you’re talking about. If it’s just breasts moving around, it doesn’t make sense. The whole body needs to have a soft movement, including hair, scarves and so forth. That’s what I’m focusing on.

G: Do you have a favorite game of the Senran Kagura series, and why?

KT: Estival Versus is my favorite. I’ve been working on mobile and portable games for a little bit, and with Estival Versus I finally returned to consoles.

G: What made you decide to include VR features in your new game?

KT: The VR element is just for the dressing room, not for the shooting. Everybody likes the idea of getting a glimpse under the skirt, and look around the girls’ body, so I think it’ll make a dream come true for many.

G: So there won’t be virtual reality shooting… Have you tried Farpoint?

KT: I haven’t heard that title.

G: It’s pretty much like Starship Troopers, you shoot alien insects in VR.

KT: Now I want to play it.

G: Have you thougt about extending the VR support to the actual shooting as well?

KT: Eventually I might want to try, but I feel that the headset might be a bit heavy for long-term gameplay. You might not be able to play very long.

G: Is there any other genre besides shooters that you’d like to explore in the future? Anything that you really want to do, but you haven’t had the chance yet?

KT: I’d like to do a pinball game.

G: Why pinball?

KT: I’d like to have the ball move around on the girls’ bodies.

G: Why did I even need to ask?

KT: (Laughs)

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash will be released in western and Asian markets

It should come as no surprise given the series’ previous releases outside of Japan, but Marvelous will release Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, its upcoming water gun-based, third-person shooter entry in the series for PlayStation 4, in western and Asian markets, the company confirmed.

The news comes via the company’s latest financial results overview, in which it says it plans to “release the game in overseas markets such as western and Asian countries.”

Senran Kagura Producer Asks Western Fans to Wait for Unreleased Character DLC

The characters are named Hakufu, Ryofu, and Unchou Kan-u from manga series Ikki Tousen. At first, these three fighters were a Japan exclusive, but Producer Kenichiro Takaki has posted to Twitter for western fans to “Please wait for a while” concerning the characters being released in the west.

The game was localized by XSEED and released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita March 15 and March 18 of this year for North America and Europe, respectively.

It was said that licensing rights got in the way of the three characters being released outside of Japan, but it seems the company might have found a way to see the characters released worldwide.

■ Locker Room

The “Locker Room,” a staple of the series where the girls can go to communicate and change costumes, is significantly enhanced in Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash. Dress up your characters with your favorite outfits including school uniforms, shinobi costumes, yukatas, aprons, and more.



While you can of course change your characters’ costumes, you can also change their hairdo, accessories, and even their underwear. Additionally, accessories can be more finely and easily adjusted than ever before.



Tons of new poses have also been added to the Diorama Mode that appeared in previous games.

There is also a new feature to the Locker Room said to water gun-related, but details will be announced at a later time.

■ New Costumes: Wetness Equals Transparency



New costumes that getting wet will turn transparent will also appear. The more and more the costume is wet, the more and more transparent it becomes.

■ Five Basic Types of Water Guns

There are various types of water guns that differ in firing range, mobility, water consumption, power, etc. Today, we’ll look at the five basic types.



By leveling up your water gun, you’ll be able to change both its its abilities and appearance. The same water gun can look vastly different depending on its level.

Assault Rifle

A full-auto shooting type water gun capable of continuously firing water bullets. While its power is not that high, it is unmatched in ease of use.



Shotgun

A water gun that fires several water bullets with a single shot. The power decreases depending on the range of the shot, and the water bullets that fire scatter.



Grenade Launcher

A water gun that fires water balloon grenades. The water balloon that fires will explode when it hits an enemy or terrain.



Rocket Launcher

A water gun that fires water bottle rockets. Its linear attacks are top class, but its reload time is long.



Gatling Gun

A spin-up-type water gun with a gradually increasing firing speed. Its power is more than enough to make up for its damper on mobility.

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash details gun types, cards, and stages

■ Gun Types

Fire away with your favorite weapons! Various water guns with differing abilities and characteristic will appear in this game. Let’s introduce five new types of water guns.

Sniper Rifle



Shoots a long-range water laser. Consumes a lot of the water gauge, but the water laser possesses the powerful ability to penetrate your opponent.

Single Hand Gun



Twin Hand Guns



Single shot water pistols so you can fire two shots at once. The amount of the water gauge consumed while shooting is low, and even if you don’t have any of the water gauge left, the power doesn’t decrease much. Auto-aim has a wide range.

Shower Gun



A water gun that sprays water as a mist. You can continually shoot and cause constant damage, but the range is extremely short.

Spray Gun



A weapon that continually shoots water as you hold the trigger. Damage will continually be inflicted but it consumes a lot of the water gauge.

■ Close-Range, Non-Water Gun Attacks



Outside of water gun-based attacks, there are also non-water gun-based “close-range attacks.” These attacks have short range and are difficult to land, but since they can push the opponent back, a successful hit will do serious damage.

■ Use Cards to Customize the Girls



While the shinobis’ “secret ninja arts” are banned for use in the Peach Beach Splash tournament, you can use new items called “cards.”

There are three types of cards—“weapon,” “skill,” and “companion”—used for customization. Since you can combine cards to change your abilities, you can put together your own deck to fight with. Equip various cards with ninja arts to strengthen the shinobi girls. There are over 810 cards with beautiful illustrations to see.

Skill Cards



Skill cards have various effects, such as lowering the enemy’s attack power or restoring you and your allies’ HP. You can equip up to six at at a time, so use skill cards in addition to your choice of water gun well to progress the battle more advantageously.

Companion Cards



A card that can summon a companion character to fight alongside the player. You can equip up to three at a time, so you can summon different characters based on the situation. Depending on the companion you choose, they’ll offer various support like cover fire and evasion. Choose companion cards based on appearance or choose them based on stratey. Equip your favorite companions and head into battle.

Card Usage Rules

You can get 10 new weapon, skill, and companion cards from a single card pack. You can purchase new cards packs from the in-game store, as well as get them as stage clear rewards.



Skill cards and companion cards can be used once enough cost is gathered. They are powerful, but since you can’t use them one after the other, you should activate them only at proper times.

Cards have different levels of rarity—N, R, SR, SSR, and UR. Cards that are rarity level SR and above even have voices attached to them.



Cards also have levels and can be strengthened through synthesis with other cards.



■ Stages

These are some of the stages in which you’ll do battle. In addition to beaches and waterfronts, there is also pirate ships, giant kitchens, and more. Learn the layouts of the stages—the differences in height and the obstacles—to proceed the battle more advantageously.

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash details game modes

Marvelous has released Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash information and screenshots detailing game’s single-player and online modes, a new Locker Room feature, and the Overseers of the Festival and Legend characters.

■ Game Modes

Single Splash



A story mode in which a story centered on the members of each faction unfolds, including the girls of the Gessen Girls’ Academy, Hanzo National Academy, Hebijo Clandestine Girls’ Academy, and Homura’s Crimson Squad.

The girls are invited to the mysterious water gun tournament known as the “Peach Beach Splash,” or “PBS” for short, which is said to be a time-honored tradition of the shinobi world.

It is said that the best team will get anything they want as a reward, and while the true purpose of the tournament is unknown, the big-chested water gun battle begins…!

—Boss Battle: A Giant Ryona



The nightmare’s second coming!? Battle against a giant Ryona. Shoot away at her giant body to get rid of all the foam!

—Boss Battle: Licking Machine and Massage Machine



The infamous giant machines are drawing near! Protect yourself from the bosses’ attacks while aiming for their weak points! Defeat them before those trapped in their life floats get licked and massaged!

Paradise Episodes



A mode where you ca enjoy comical episodes featuring specific characters. It goes beyond the boundaries of teams so you can enjoy a new side of the girls.

V-Road Challenge



A specialized action mode where you form a team of your favorite girls and aim to win the Peach Beach Splash. Win and advance through four cups, including the “School Cup,” “Bunny Cup,” “Queen Cup,” and “Venus Cup.” Winning will earn you rewards such as cards and in-game money.

Multi-Splash

An online mode where you can splash with players around the country to your heart’s content. There are three types of online battle modes to enjoy, which are detailed below.

■ Online Mode

Ranked Match



A mode where you compete with players around the country in five-on-five battles in order to attain victory and gain PP (Peach Points). The battle rules and stage are randomly decided. The higher your class, the greater the rewards you’ll receive.

Free Match



A mode where the host player sets the rules, stage, and amount of players (one-versus-one to five-versus-five). In addition to making all opponents other players, CPUs can also be added to the mix. You can create your own battle room as well as look up those created by others. If you set a password, you can play with just your friends.

—Battle Rule: Team Battle



A rule where you compete for points by taking out the enemy team’s players. Victory will go to the team that defeated the most enemy players within the time limit.

—Battle Rule: Momination



A rule where players scramble to occupy three watchtowers placed on the stage and only earn points while occupied. Victory will go to the team that earned the most points within the time limit.

More rules and stages will be added via free updates.

—MVP



At the end of a Ranked Match, five players will be recognized as MVPs on the results screen. You can set whichever motions and stamps you like for your character to display.

Co-Op Survival



A mode where players work together to protect their watchtower from waves of enemies. You’ll get a reward for every enemy you defeat. By selecting and searching stage and class requirements, you can participate in an already open Survival match. You can also play on your own with the CPU.

■ Touching



The Locker Room, where you can freely coordinate the expressions, poses, costume, hairdo, accessories, and underwear of the girls, features a new “Water Gun Mode” where you can enjoy happy and shy communication with the girls by way of water gun. Enjoy wet, see-through clothing to your heart’s content and even choose the color of the water.

Hand Mode, Evolved



Hand Mode has also evolved. The spots you can touch have increased and more reactions from the girls have been added. There are character-specific reactions, too. And not only can you touch the chest and buttocks like previous games, but now you can also rub, pat, and pull the upper arms and thighs.

On top of the water gun battles, we also get to see plenty of fun in the dressing room, where players can change the ladies’ clothing and underwear, spray them with water to make said clothing transparent, and even liberally grope to their heart content.

Last, but not least, we even catch a glimpse of the Diorama mode, that includes plenty of poses and options to place your favorite waifus in many positions and situations.

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus for PC and ‘Battle Vixens’ DLC launch Today (3/17)

The PC version of Senran Kagura: Estival Versus will launch via Steam today.

It will be offered at 10 percent off its regular list price of $39.99 / €39.99 / £29.99 for the first week after launch.

The Battle Vixens crossover downloadable content pack featuring characters and outfits from Ikki Tousen will launch for PC, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita alongside the PC release. It features playable characters Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Guan Yu. Each character can be purchased separately for $3.99 / €3.99 / £2.99, or purchased in a bundle for $8.99 / €8.99 / £6.99.

Other downloadable content already available on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita will also launch for the PC version day and date with the game’s PC release.

Here’s an overview of the game, via XSEED:

In Senran Kagura: Estival Versus, a mystical phenomenon transports the nubile ninjas of the titular series to a parallel dimension to face off against their rivals in a new kind of battle. In this strange world – which resembles a sunny, sandy island paradise – the girls are thrown for another loop as they encounter departed loved ones and ultimately have to decide if they can bear to part from them a second time. The Windows PC version of Estival Versus follows successful Steam releases of previous entries in the Senran Kagura series, including Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus and Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit! – Full Course.

With over twenty-five playable characters, making this the biggest roster in the series’ history, Senran Kagura: Estival Versus boasts more moves, more story, more attitude, and more destruction online with matches that can support up to 10 players (Windows PC and PS4 system versions only; “PS Vita” system supports up to 4 players). All of the series’ previous Shinobi girls return with a host of upgraded moves to master, and new playable characters offer more challenges to conquer, along with a story that’s equal parts sexy and shocking, serious and scandalous, busty and bouncy.

The faithful adaptation to PC has been handled by the original developers at Marvelous Inc. and Tamsoft, with added Steamworks support including Steam Achievements, leaderboards, cloud saves, and trading cards.

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus Has Done “Extremely Well” on PC According to XSEED Executive VP

PC ports seem to be a rising trend with western Japanese game publishers as more and more former console exclusives make their PC debut. Publisher XSEED is no exception, in 2016 the company brought several ports to PC, as well as some exclusive titles to the platform.

During GDC 2017, DualShockers had the opportunity to sit with XSEED Games Executive Vice President Ken Berry and ask about the the benefits of the digital shelves of Steam.

To our question on whether or not the Senran Kagura series is doing well on PC, Ken Berry replied, “Yes, Senran kagura: Shinovi Versus has done extremely well.” Evidently, this isn’t the only title that is doing well for the publisher as he continued: “Some other titles also did above expectations on PC such as Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel and Akiba’s Trip, they definitely found a great audience on PC”.
