Earlier this year, Inti Creates revealed that Blaster Master Zero 3 will be heading to Nintendo Switch in July 2021. If you’ve been hungry to learn more about this new mutant-busting adventure, we finally have the first drips of info!

The developer has released the first details about the game’s opening sequence and main characters. On top of a quick round-up of where Jason, Eve, and Fred end up at the beginning of the game, we also get some official artwork!

Check it all out below:

◆ Blaster Master Zero 3’s Opening Sequence!

In Blaster Master Zero 2, after a long and
perilous journey through space, Jason and Eve
finally made it to the planet Sophia.

―――However, a new crisis was already
there lying in wait for them.

They were attacked by Sophia’s army, the Sophia
Force, and their Interplanetary All-Terrain Battle
Tank “G-SOPHIA SV” was rendered inoperable.

Jason, Eve, and Fred were then captured and
immediately separated from each other.

“Why did they do this to us…?”

Before Jason could find any answers,
the Sophia Force base where he and the others
were being held captive suddenly fell into chaos,
allowing him to escape and recover G-SOPHIA SV.

The fate of Jason and Eve,
and the fate of planet Sophia…
all revolve around the threat of the mutant scourge.

But now, an interdimensional reversal of fate is beginning…

◆ Meet the main characters from Blaster Master Zero 3!

Young Man Confronting a “Reversal” of Fate

Jason

“G-SOPHIA SV and I will never back down from our fight to save Eve!”

Jason is a young man who has battled against the mutant scourge aboard the battle tanks SOPHIA III, SOPHIA ZERO, and G-SOPHIA.

His intergalactic journey to save his partner Eve, who had been corrupted by mutant cells, at long last brought him to the planet Sophia, where he was captured by the planet’s military, the Sophia Force.

After taking advantage of a chaotic situation, he managed to escape and reclaim his new tank, G-SOPHIA SV.

He now finds himself desperately searching the planet Sophia for Eve, who has gone missing.

Partner Who Disappeared Into Super-Dimensional Space

Eve

“Don’t worry…I found the answer I needed.”

Eve is a young woman who crossed paths with Jason on Earth.

She is the support droid for the battle tank SOPHIA III, and she and Jason formed a deep bond during their battles against the mutants on Earth.

However, Eve became corrupted with mutant cells during their battles, and was in grave danger.

She overcame her corruption after battling the mutants in super-dimensional space, but after getting captured upon her arrival to Sophia, her whereabouts are
now unknown.

Mysterious Creature with a Shiny Metallic Body

Fred

“Ribbit ribbit!”

Fred was originally created to be the support drone (aka Support Animal) for the SOPHIA III battle tank, but has since formed a very deep bond with Eve and Jason after their journey through space togetherand their battles against the mutants.

He has the ability to create wormholes, which supports Jason and G-SOPHIA SV in their searches in many ways.

Supeme Evolution of the Metal Attacker

G-SOPHIA SV

Official Name: “EARTH MA-001 SV GAIA-SOPHIA SV”

Based on the designs for SOPHIA III and SOPHIA ZERO, G-SOPHIA SV is a new interplanetary all-terrain battle tank (Metal Attacker) co-developed by Jason and Eve during their time on Earth.

It comes equipped with the Gaia System, which converts impacts to the vehicle’s chassis into energy.

The original G-SOPHIA parts that were destroyed during their journey through space were replaced with parts from the Metal Attacker ANDREIA that Eve had a fateful encounter with in Area Ω.

This refurbished version was given the codename “SV”, which stands for “Supreme Vehicle”.
