Released in 2011, El Shaddai featured Lucifel who carries a cell phone with God on the speed dial.
According to Famitsu, The Lost Child follows in the footsteps of this previous title, once again with Lucifel.
The Lost Child is slated for a summer 2017 release in Japan. No word yet on a Western release.
