Astral Chain

From the minds behind NieR:Automata and Bayonetta comes Astral Chain, a brand new hack and slash action-adventure game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

Players play as a rookie police officer whose part of an elite task force called Neuron, as humanity suffers under the the interdimensional invasion of living weapons known only as the Legion. Neuron, however, has been able to 'chain' a Legion to each officer, and together they must work in harmony to solve cases and save humankind from destructions.

Players will be able to cycle through various Legion types, as they solve crimes and fight against the Legion threat with only their skills and their own chained Legion as their partner. Players can also play co-op with each other as well, one controlling the player and one controlling their Legion. 

Featuring brand new character designs by acclaimed manga artist Masakazu Katura, along with Takahisa Taura (designer of NieR: Automata) in his directorial debut, Astral Chain is what you would expect from Platinum Games, a high octane thrill ride of an experience that only they can employ.
