 Ready to see how the characters from the Hanzō, Gessen Girls’ Academy, and Heibjo Clandestine Girls Academy can cook? We will be seeing this as the game launches on November 11th, 2014 for North America through the PlayStation Network. Unlike Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus, this game will not be launching physically like the previous title. Additionally, XSEED Games has also stated that the Gessen x Hebijo expansion will follow on November 25th, which will put both the Gessen x Hebijo expansion pack will release on November 25th. This will implement the other two academies into the title. This will bring the games total roster to a size of 20 shinobi to choose from. This expansion will also include a soundtrack app, which will include the songs for each character.

 So what goes in in this game? Like before, the game carries on the games insanely silly and outrageous combos along with tempting specials and offbeat humour into a fast-paced rhythm game, which is set to a soundtrack of upbeat and fun Japanese songs while all the while cooking! The game will be released as a spin-off from the base series of which it comes from. This game will continue the story with the grand rivalry between the ever-competitive filled shinobi school-girls. This will include them taking a break from their ever-going fighting situation that has been going on. This time around they are cooking some amazing Super Dishes for their guests to eat from, all of this being hosted by shinobi master Hanzō himself. What is their prize? A magical scroll he has promised to them through his first ever “Super Dish Gourmet Cook-off”.

 For those who purchased Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus, be prepared for some awesome gifts! Importing their costume and character from the previous title, characters will be able to use their DLC in Bon Appétit! This will also allow them to import the two playable bonus characters Daidōji and the masterful Rin. Both of these characters will include complete new visual novel scenarios, music, and battles. In order to use Rin’s content, the Gessen x Hebijo DLC must be purchased.

 So are you interested? In order to enter the cook off, Meterosie, developing alongside Marvelous Inc. of Japan have developed this game exclusively for the PlayStation Vita.
