The company randomly decided to reveal a bunch of 2013 releases at once, including the welcome localization of <em>Ys: Memories of Celceta</em>, the first Vita iteration of the long-lived action RPG series. That's coming this fall.<br /><br />The Vita will also see <em>Valhalla Knights 3</em> sometime this fall, an action RPG with twenty different job classes for players to equip as they take their parties of seven out on quests.<br /><br />XSEED is following the successful Steam release of its Ys games with a PC version of <em>Ys I &amp; II Chronicles +</em> in February, a remake of the very first two Ys games. Finally, Rune Factory 4 is due on 3DS this summer, allowing players to choose a male or female protagonist for the first time.<br /><br />All this is in addition to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/16/xseed-erecting-pandoras-tower-for-wii-in-na-this-spring/"><em>Pandora's Tower</em></a>, which was just announced for Wii.
