PSP owners have a lot of RPGs to look forward to. XSEED has announced a new partnership with Nihon Falcom that promises to bring six new games for the North American audience.
Ys Seven,
Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and
Ys I & II Chronicles will all arrive on PSP, with
Ys Seven the first title to be released under this new agreement. According to the press release,
Ys Seven is the first iteration of the long-running JRPG franchise to be built "specifically for the PSP system," promising "virtually no load times" -- a problem that has plagued many of Falcom's previous PSP efforts.
In addition to
Ys, XSEED will also be publishing the next three chapters of
The Legend of Heroes saga (known as
Sora no Kiseki in Japan). "I couldn't be more pleased to announce a partnership with a development studio as renown by gamers for consistently putting out quality titles as Falcom," Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games, said in the press release. "Their titles have always been some of the most requested titles so it is going to be our pleasure to oblige the North American fans by delivering an amazing line up of in-depth and gripping RPGs."
