  • Puppeteer Gets A Charming E3 2013 Trailer

    E3 2013 is still a few days away, but that’s not going to stop Sony from releasing a few trailers of the game it intends to show off at the event.

    The first of undoubtedly many is the super charming Puppeteer. The platformer from Sony Japan Studio has been high on my list of most anticipated games of 2013 since it was first announced last year, and we’re almost closing in on its September release date.

    As for the trailer, it introduces some new gameplay mechanics as well as some new bosses. Check it out:

    Sony is likely to show off some more PS3 games before its official presence at E3 so it can make plenty of room for the PS4. That’s only a good thing, though, as it gives us an even earlier look at what the PS3’s last major year holds in store for us.

    Puppeteer will be available exclusively for the PS3 on September 10. To sweeten the deal, the title will only retail for $40.

  • Puppeteer Gets A Story Trailer, Launches September 10

    One of the highlights of Tokyo Game Show last year was Puppeteer, a new game out of Sony’s Japan Studio. We got a quick look at the title then, but there hasn’t been much said about it since.

    That all changed today as Sony announced that the game would be hitting American PS3s on September 10. The publisher also released a new trailer detailing more of the story that was only vaguely hinted at last year:

    If you can’t watch the trailer, here’s the synopsis released by Sony:

    One dark moonlit night, a young boy named Kutaro was carried away by the maleficent Moon Bear King to a black castle where the unlucky lad was transformed into a puppet.

    Kutaro displeased the terrible tyrant, who devoured the boy’s wooden head and cast away his body.
    But the headless hero was not alone, for he had discovered a very special pair of scissors to help him on his harrowing adventure to find his head, and his way home.

    Puppeteer is a brand new franchise developed exclusively for PlayStation 3 by SCE JAPAN Studio. Set in a magical puppeteer’s theatre, this title will introduce you to a strange and fantastic world, where the environment is constantly changing. Players will enjoy a rich, dark fairytale where surprises lurk around every corner.

    Puppeteer will get a retail release, but it will only cost $39.99 when it launches on September 10. The cheap price should help ensure that the game gains more of an audience, especially with other heavy hitters like Rayman Legends and Grand Theft Auto V launching in the same month.
