Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi, the upcoming action game installment in the traditionally visual novel-focused Hakuoki series, will be released on Feb. 19, according to a post on Aksys Games' website. The PSP game features six samurai man characters who fight their way through two storylines. "Shinsengumi Memorial" follows the story of 2012's Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, while "Shinsengumi Chronicle" takes place in an "alternate universe where events unfold very differently." Retail copies of Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi ship with a character guide, and those who pre-order the $29.99 game through Amazon, which lists a Feb. 26 release, receive a bandanna featuring characters from the game.
