Just read it's by Omega (devs of Dynasty Warrior games). That's a bit meh to meh.
I doubt we will see some sexy singleplayer game, and instead probably just a mostly reskinned version of their previous games.

Yeah probably more about the "Golden Age" initial ark with actual human armies involved instead of the later arks where it's more Guts (Gats?) and a small team of followers against the occasional demonic horde and the bigger "bosses" or how it might work as a game.
Then again later on in the manga there's some bigger battles again so...
Berserk is a long running manga with a very deep lore with dark interesting characters, how will you recreate this within the game?
Koinuma: A few years ago they created the Golden Age into three separate anime movies and since we were allowed to use them, we decided the story will begin from the Golden Age.
I would say this is where the true start of the story began but I also think it's a great starting off point when it comes to people who are interested in Berserk but don't know where to begin. Oh, and don't worry there will be plenty and plenty of scenes recreated from the manga!

What kind of taste will we get from the game?
Koinuma: I brought the game's main visual from the office and the graphics will be a modified version of this. We wanted a mix between the manga and anime's art and we came up with this.

What kind of person would really enjoy this game?
Koinuma: First and foremost, fans of Berserk will be the ones who will enjoy the game. During the game you'll be fighting humans as enemies then suddenly you'll be fighting Apostles, this is one of the major changes we wanted to make it more like a Berserk experience. We plan to implement a whole list of bosses such as Zodd or the Minotaur. There is a lot of Berserk stuffed in here to excite all those Berserk fans out there.

Guts sword-slinging style is more brutal than elegant, now will this project in the game?
Koinuma: We had a similar problem when developing Fist of the North Star Warriors. Most of the characters are heavy hitters themselves and we wanted to give a more realistic style to the hits. This gives a perfect balance that makes you feel the impact if your hits. We thought of this as we wanted to recreate the change between the Golden Age Guts and the Black Swordsman Guts's battle style.
When he becomes the Black Swordsman, he gets a boost which makes his attacks more elegant compared to before and we will show this in game.
Saw a bit of that on Neogaf, including that the game is set in the early arcs of the story (IE Golden Age) yet the characters such as Guts here and Griffith are wearing armor and weapons introduced far later on, might hint at DLC costumes and such.
-The game takes place from golden age upto black swordsman
-Some scenes from 1997 anime and movie are used, as well as brand new stuff for the game. There will be a lot of scenes.
-the game is not directly tied with the newly airing Berserk anime. The game is made so even people who are not familiar with Berserk can enjoy
-There are huge boss battles, 1v1 against boss, fighting against small enemies and boss popping up during the battle
-lots of boss characters in the game, like zodd and bull/ox monster.
-Guts' fighting style changes as the story progresses in the manga, and the game will reflect that in the gameplay
-As with other Musou games, Guts is not the only playble character.
-the game's visual style will be similar to the poster
-The core target audience for the game is the fans of the original manga. But newcomers will also be able to enjoy the game.
-Japan and West have different restrictions for gore/erotic. Japan is more strict on gore stuff, while West is more strict on erotic stuff. So they want to get the balance right while staying true to the original.
-they will release a video featuring Guts soon.
(I find the gore/erotic note pretty funny, there's not much actual nudity for most of the early manga up until a certain turnpoint towards the end unless you count some brief sequences and err Grifith selling his ass to a nobleman, and Guts having his stepfather selling him to a mercenary when he's a kid but that's probably not making it into the game anyway. )
