[Update: Some of the story has been detailed. Asura's Wrath stars a former deity seeking revenge against gods who had betrayed him and stripped him of all his godly powers. This sounds AWFULLY familiar, doesn't it. Luckily, this game looks beyond epic. Check out the trailer we just got.]
Capcom has partnered up with developer CyberConnect 2 on a new series called Asura's Wrath. The game is a heavy hack 'n slash game using the Unreal Engine 3. Characters can summon gigantic god-like creatures to battle massive armies.
The key concept around the game as described by director Seiji Shimoda is that the game revolves around "wrath" and that it's more about the experience rather than just playing it.
Asura's Wrath will be out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We will update this post as soon as the reveal trailer becomes available. We hear it's nuts.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

it wasn't until I saw the video that I shat my load.
yes, I shat it.
By the looks of this trailer, I'd say they're succeeding?
PS. They need to put this guy MvsC3 asap.
Game looks epic. I'm all for summong gods and monsters to do my bidding.
I came
cyberconnect2 made the .hack games and Naruto games.
I lost it when the giant Buddha finger started streaking through the atmosphere.
The graphics also look a lot like FotNS and SF4, except the style actually fits in this case.
I guess this is a definite DO WANT, though I'm getting real sick of these GoW-alikes.
