So as to avoid making a new post every time Atlus hints at what game they’ll be publishing next, I’m going to predictnowthat they’ll be publishingGungnir, a tactical RPG for the PlayStation Portable, released in Japan this May. I know this because the latest hint they dropped on their Facebook page is that the game’s title ends with an “r”.
Well, not only does “Gungnir” end with an “r”, butit starts with a “g”. Further, it’s the latest entry in Sting’sDept. Heavenseries, which includes the gamesRiviera: The Promised Land, Yggdra Union: We’ll Never Fight Alone,andKnights in the Nightmare,allof which were published in English by Atlus USA.
While I’m fairly sure that I’m right, Atlus seems to be taking a risk, publishing a PSP game on the very cusp of the Vita’s advent. Then again, the Vita’s backwards-compatible, so anyone with one and an interest in the sort of games the PSP specializes in (i.e. JRPGs) will have some interesting options from the outset.
