Out next month on PlayStation 4 and Vita, Toukiden 2 promises to be your typical bigger and better sequel. Environments are growing in size and its predecessor's combat system is being expanded upon, with the upcoming release offering two new weapon types to play around with.

The sword and shield combo does just what you'd expect, allowing slayers to block incoming attacks while staying close to the enemy. The shield isn't just for defence, however, as it can also be used to lash out at your opponent. Meanwhile, the chain whip provides something a little different. It's got good reach and strikes quickly, and it looks as though you'll be able to switch it up with aerial barrages if you get uncomfortable fighting on the ground.

Do either of these armaments tickle your fancy? Let the slaughter begin in the comments section below.
