A new trailer has been released by NIS America for the upcoming PS4 & Vita title, PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness.

From this trailer we are giving a sneak peak at what to expect from the game. This includes brand-new characters and returning favourites from season 1 of the anime. In addition to this the trailer also explains how your in-game decisions can ultimately change the outcome of the story and ending.

In the near future, advanced technological developments have allowed one’s mental state and disposition to be quantified and profiled.

For the public’s welfare, all emotions and thoughts are documented and managed by the Sibyl System. This system measures the quality of each person’s life by what is known as the Psycho-Pass, a reading of an individual’s mind. Broken down into two main components, the Psycho-Pass is the system’s omniscient eyes of justice. One of these components is the Hue, which is a visual representation of the Psycho-Pass that conveys a person’s stress level. The other is the Crime Coefficient, which is a numerical value that represents a person’s criminal capacity. This number determines whether an individual requires enforcement by the detectives of the Public Safety Bureau. Detectives are divided into two groups: Enforcers, who are tasked with the investigation of crimes and the apprehension of criminals, and Inspectors, who are charged with managing the Enforcers.

In PSYCHO-PASS the player can play as one of two new detectives that are assigned to the Criminal Investigation Department’s Division 1. As you make decisions throughout the game, you will start to realise quickly that there will always be repercussions. This will offer the player an engaging story line that will lead to multiple endings.

PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness is coming to North America on September 13th and Europe on September 16th for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita as both a physical and digital release.
