City Shrouded in Shadow (巨影都市^?) is a survival role-playing game developed by Granzella and published by Bandai Namco for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita systems.

The game was released on October 19, 2017 in Japan, and as of 2018, a North American localization of the title hasn't been planned by the game's publisher.

The game utilizes licenses to multiple franchises, including both the Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, Evangelion, and Patlabor franchises.

Description

City Shrouded in Shadow is an survival/role-playing game in which the player assumes the role of a powerless civilian caught in the middle of a kaiju attack. The goal of the game is simply to survive, generally through fleeing the attacking creatures.

The game's main antagonists are strange shadowy creatures that can assume the form of other creatures, including Ultraman. The real Ultraman appears as well, serving as a protector that defends the city and battles the shadow creatures.

Godzilla is also confirmed to appear in the game, while the player must flee from him whenever he makes landfall. Famitsu's scans for the game also feature a silhouette that strongly resembles an Evangelion.
