Leading up to the highly-anticipated release of Astral Chain, PlatinumGames is continuing to reveal interesting tidbits surrounding the upcoming action title. In a new case file, director Takahisa Taura explained how players will be able to interact with their summoned Beast Legion. “I’m particularly fond of the Beast Legion in Astral Chain,” he said. “If you approach your summoned Beast Legion and press the A Button, you can pet it on the head. There’s no significance to doing so. But please show your Legion some affection.” Astral Chain is on track to launch on August 30, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

I’m not joking, things like these make games very special. I’m very happy they did this.
I totally agree. Too bad Link can’t pet the dogs or stroke the horses.
Now that I’m thinking about it, I hope the BotW2 devs are paying attention to this news & decide “Hm! Maybe we should let Link do that with his horses in our BotW sequel!” I wouldn’t mind a little mini-game where we can actually groom our horses at the stables scattered about the world.
I love that you wrote an article for this haha
