Leading into E3, publisher XSEED Games had some new titles to announce this week, including another action-RPG by developer Nihon Falcom. Originally released in Japan as Zwei II Plus, Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection is coming to PC this summer, and will be playable for the first time in English at E3.

Here's a more detailed description:
Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection is a charmingly presented action RPG featuring a unique food-based experience system, a colorful cast of characters, and a quirky, standalone narrative. When the haughty vampire princess Alwen du Moonbria saves the life of brash, treasure-hunting pilot Ragna Valentine in exchange for a blood contract, the unlikely duo must set off to recover Alwen’s stolen magic and usurped castle. The game’s real-time combat is tied to a unique leveling system that allows players to choose when to apply experience toward leveling up or whether they should save it for extra perks later on, and pets can fight alongside players to help take down some of the massive bosses encountered on this lengthy adventure through the land of Ilvard. Fans of vampires, treasure-hunting, fairies, ninjas, luchadores, cat-people, vintage airplanes, magic castles, robots, chickens that lay bombs, and more will find lots to love!
XSEED also recently announced plans to bring Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin to PS4 and PC in the west in 2018. Developer Edelweiss (Astebreed) mixes Japanese mythology with side-scrolling action and rice cultivation in this one, which will be on display at this year's E3.

That and Zwei aren't the only titles XSEED will have at E3. They hammered out a few details for the show, including plans for Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki to make his first-ever American fan appearance. He'll be available at the show on Thursday, June 15 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm Pacific Time.
From the press release:
“I’m very much looking forward to meeting fans of my work at E3,” said Kenichiro Takaki, SENRAN KAGURA Producer at Honey ∞ Parade Games. “I never thought that the series would leave Japan when I created SENRAN KAGURA, but now that it has gained fans worldwide, I want to meet them and am so happy that Marvelous and E3 has allowed me to do just that.”
Beyond that, XSEED will be showing Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash and the Nintendo Switch versions of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star.
