Following a mysterious teaser unveiling a couple of weeks back, Sony Japan has at long last shared specifics on its newest PlayStation 3 title, The Last Guy, or as it's fully known in Japan, The Last Guy Japan Premium.

In The Last Guy Japan Premium, you play as Last Guy, who's come from the Himalayas to save the people of Asakusa, one of Tokyo's hot tourist spots, from attacking zombies. Your job is simple: find people remaining in the Asakusa area and lead them to special escape zones.

As suggested in the original teaser trailer from two weeks back, the game makes use of real life aerial photos of the Asakusa area. Judging by the few screenshots Sony handed out today and the new trailer video that was posted at the game's official site, gameplay appears to be viewed from a strictly overhead perspective.

The Last Guy Japan Premium hits the Japanese PlayStation Store on July 31 at 500 yen. The download will take up 314 megabytes on your hard disk.

Other installments for the game appear to be on the way. The trailer footage at the official site hints at zombie infestations in other areas of the world, including The Opera House in Sydney.
