            Also in September 2013, Experience asked in for fans to submit concepts for boss characters, including "boss monsters for the end of the story, a top class boss for the middle of the game, a boss that has a unique fighting space like underwater or outer space, a flying or floating boss, a monster with scales, and "god" tiers for regular enemies."[12] A teaser trailer was announced on February 7, 2014.[13] It was also revealed by Famitsu that the game, which was originally only planned for release on the PC and Xbox 360 platforms, would also be available for the PlayStation Vita.[2][14]

            A new version of the game with a new graphical style, was released in March of 2016 for the Xbox One.[15][16]
