Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida 3D coming to Japan, in two dimensions

When we saw that Sony had announced Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida 3D, the second sequel to Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!, we got really excited. As you may know, the third dimension makes everything better, from WipEout HD to the JoBros. Unfortunately, as this trailer reveals, the "3D" in the game's title simply refers to having three dungeons. Oh.

While, at first glance, this latest addition to the surprisingly successful Yuusha franchise may look remarkably similar to previous iterations, 3D promises new monsters and a new water mechanic. Perhaps you'll be able to drown any potential heroes that come your way?

This sequel is planned for release in the 201X time frame. We're pretty certain there's no year called 201X ... unless Sony knows something about the future that we don't.
