Sell well the first time around and you have a possible franchise on your hands. Idea Factory sold enough of the original Generation of Chaos game last year to warrant additional adjuncts and sequels to sate the masses. The second salvo in Idea Factory's blitz of GOC ships on April 25. Generation of Chaos Next: Lost Bonds follows the story of a young king who seeks to bring together warring factions in order to unite the land. Battles are fought in real-time action with shooting, slashing, and other melee activity in play. In addition to the tasks of war, the player must also keep mindful of the relationships between him and his generals and how his actions affect their loyalty to him. Poor interpersonal skills may turn the tide of battle against you when a wavering general switches allegiances or loses conviction in the cause. Relationships between your comrades in arms and a future queen also affect the course of the game. 

   Similar to the original GOC, Idea Factory ships a regular edition at Y6800 (NCS US$63) and a limited edition at Y8800 (NCS US$95). The limited edition includes a bonus DVD movie. On May 22, IF will release the DVD movie and a VHS version separately at Y2800 each. This way, non-game players are also able to enjoy the movie without springing for the limited edition game. Pre-orders are welcome starting today though e-mail request or online shop.
