The news came just over a month after the collaboration with the popular anime series was announced on a PlayStation blog post.
In the post, it is confirmed that Shinji Ikari, Asuka Shikinami Langley, and Rei Ayanami will be joining the game, with players being able to obtain simulacrums of Asuka and Rei.
Players will also be able to meet with the classic EVA units such as EVA-00, EVA-01, and EVA-02 by exploring the main story, as the developers are set to faithfully reproduce classic scenes from the original anime within the game’s narrative.
Tower of Fantasy is an open-world RPG that was developed by Hotta Games and was released worldwide on 11th August 2022 on mobile and Windows. It is then later released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on 8th August 2023.
As for the anime series they are collaborating with, Neon Genesis Evangelion, otherwise just known as Evangelion, is a Japanese mecha anime television series that is produced by Gainax, animated by Tatsunoko, and directed by Hideaki Anno.
