Ahead of the PlayStation Event in San Francisco this week, Toronto developer DrinkBox Studios released a new trailer for their touch-based Vita RPG.  

In Severed you play as a one-armed warrior named Sasha, who wakes up in a surreal new world after a catastrophic event. After obtaining a living sword from a mysterious cloaked creature, Sasha sets off on an epic journey in search of her missing family.

Combat is done primarily using the touchscreen, but Severed is definitely not a casual game. In fact, we think that using the touchscreen for sword combat has allowed us to make the game a much more deep and complex experience than button-based sword fighting ever could have been.

Severed will be at the PlayStation Experience this week, originally scheduled for 2015, Severed was delayed until next year.
