Lost Dimension dated for July, First English trailer and DLC information

by Adam Vitale on 13 May, 2015

Atlus USA has announced several details for Lost Dimension, the sci-fi Tactical RPG developed by Lancarse. The title will launch July 28 in North America for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita (PSTV compatible), and for two weeks after launch players can download 20 dollars' worth of the downloadable content free. This includes nine character costumes, twelve PSN avatars, an additional map set with extra story, and three DLC quest sets for bonus experience.

NIS America is handling publishing duties in Europe and has not specified a release date.

Atlus has fully detailed the DLC below. Check down the post for a new trailer as well.

DLC Information

The character costumes are varied new ways to tactically kick ass in Lost Dimension, ranging from Toya's dapper suit to Mana's superheroine outfit, and everything in between! The costumes are cosmetic only and provide a lighthearted change to the battlefield (until of course it comes time to erase Kitty Marco from existence).
The free PSN avatars represent the 11 heroes and heroines in the game, as well as a special avatar for the game's villain: The End. They have no bearing in-game, but now you can represent your favorite squad mate or extraterrestrial hellbent on destroying the world across all of PlayStation Network!
The three quest DLC add an extra mission to each floor. The missions don't provide much in the way of EXP or EN (Energy, a.k.a. money), but if successfully completed with an S-Rank rating, players will be rewarded with a specialized item for individual character bonuses. Getting an S-Rank requires completing the mission as quickly as possible -- at any cost.
The mission packs come in differing levels of challenge:

The Emissary from the Netherworld: Moderately difficult

The Price of Blood: More difficult

Runaway Cause and Effect: Most difficult

Finally, there's an additional map pack called The Beginning of The End. This is a separate story that takes place in an entirely different location; there are five missions in total, but it explores the creation of the game's central Pillar and goes into the history of the 11 heroes and heroines in Lost Dimension.
All of the above DLC will be completely free for the two weeks following the game's launch this summer.
There are also some additional paid items players can purchase as well. Ranging from 49 cents to 99 cents are a wide array of helper items. These are consumable items that help raise experience, money and other beneficial stats by providing a passive boost before a battle. The helper items typically aid in combat scenarios.
Second are paid status boosters. These items range in price from 49 cents to $2.99, and can increase vision points or help restore SAN (sanity) stats in combat, which affects a character's abilities to use skills, even providing a consumable item that levels up all your party members. These items typically help players out for Judgement scenarios, where they have to suss out the traitors amongst their party.

New Characters Trailer

Lost Dimension's cast has traitors to the team. While this isn't expecially uncommon for the genre, there are five of them this time around, and each playthrough they are randomly selected. After the end of each floor of The Pillar you must vote a character to be erased from existence. Check our previous post for more information about the game.

So here are the first of the three members of S.E.A.L.E.D. showing off their psychic powers, and good news only two of them are possible traitors because Sho is the main character. However, you should definitely consider everyone else a possible traitor, so don't uh...don't get too attached.

The official website for the game has also been opened, and can be found here.
