UndreyVITA Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Today we’re really happy to announce a trio of brand new PS Vita games from our JAPAN Studio: Soul Sacrifice Delta, an expanded edition of last year’s acclaimed dark fantasy adventure; dystopian action RPG Freedom Wars; and stunning JRPG Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines. Soul Sacrifice Delta will be first to arrive on May 13th, and we’ll confirm more details around Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines and Freedom Wars in the coming months. For now, I’ll hand over to the games’ respective producers to tell you more about each title. And then later today look out for an interview with JAPAN Studio chief Allan Becker. Soul Sacrifice DeltaSoul Sacrifice Delta is the ultimate edition of Soul Sacrifice with tons of new content and improvements. Grim, the faction who believes in neutrality in all things, joins the blood thirsty Avalon and the merciful Sanctuary, and adds a third angle to bring the Delta in Soul Sacrifice. Grim’s beliefs, rooted in the prophecy they will seek to realise, will bring about irrevocable changes to the world as we know it. Please enter your date of birth below: The concept of faction is now at the heart of the game with players able to join the side of their choice, each with their own strengths and play styles. Players from each faction can now register their overall progress. Soul Sacrifice Delta brings a lot of new content as well, with new Archfiends inspired by dark retellings of classic fairy tales, new sorcerers, arenas, spells and even more quests. We have also made many improvements to the game design and systems: the graphics engine has been optimized, some arenas are now dynamic with weather effects and structural changes during battle, the spells system has been refined and allows for more collaborative and deeper gameplay. We’ve also improved the AI of the Archfiends, who are now more vicious than ever. Finally, we’ve taken character customization to a new level, with the ability to mix custom parts and accessories. What if you have played through Soul Sacrifice already? Well, just transfer your save data over to Delta and carry on the adventure! So that’s Soul Sacrifice Delta in a nutshell, but please stay tuned for more information soon. – Kumi Yuasa Freedom WarsWe’re excited to finally announce that Freedom Wars is coming to North America! Some of you may have caught wind of the team working on this title, but JAPAN Studio, Shift and Dimps have joined forces to create an action-packed RPG on PlayStation Vita! Freedom Wars is set in a dystopian world which harbors prisoners, each with a million-year sentence set from birth. You take on the role of a prisoner, forced to fight for your freedom by completing rescue missions that will reduce your seemingly insurmountable prison sentence. Supported by a robust multiplayer suite, up to four players can play via Ad-Hoc and eight players via Online to fight civilian Abducters; the more civilians you set free, the shorter your sentence becomes. In addition to the challenging co-op gameplay, you’ll be pleased to know that the game has many customizable features ranging from weapon load-outs to the protagonist itself! Check out our new trailer and make sure to stay tuned for more news on Freedom Wars, launching later this year! – Dais Kawaguchi Oreshika: Tainted BloodlinesNext up we have Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines which is one that you JRPG fans need to have on your radar. “What does ‘Oreshika’ mean?”, I hear you cry. Actually the full title in Japanese is ‘Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke’ which means something along the lines of ‘Go Forth Over My Dead Body’. In case you haven’t guessed it by now it’s an RPG in which you take charge of an ancient Japanese clan that have been cursed with a maximum lifespan of just 2 years. Your task is to lead the clan on their quest to lift the curse and enlist the help of gods inspired by Japanese mythology to make sure each new generation of the clan is more powerful than the last. We’ve got some screenshots to show off the beautiful Japanese art style of the characters and environments, but it looks even more fantastic on the PS Vita screen! We’ve got lots more details to share on this one very soon so stay tuned. – Tomoyo Kimura Edited April 14, 2014 by UndreyVITA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndreyVITA Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well I'm no SS fan but Freedom Wars is what I was interested in. So much like God Eater it's not even funny. That last game though idk I think it's 'Over My Dead Body', they're releasing a sequel in Japan, not confirmed for the west I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwilightSpira Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Happy to see new games coming for the Vita. It's so sad how even Sony let their own handheld suffer. Edited April 14, 2014 by Marcelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknerd Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I think it's 'Over My Dead Body', they're releasing a sequel in Japan, not confirmed for the west I think. The third featured game above is Over My Dead Body 2 (they just renamed it) and it is confirmed for the west. It's a JRPG and it's absolutely gorgeous.

GilgaMax305 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yes!!! I actually thought Freedom Wars was never gonna be released outside of Japan... But I'm certainly pleased that's it been announced now! And as for Soul Sacrifice Delta...I won't be buying that, getting the plat for a game like that once is enough for me Besides, it looks more like a big DLC pack O_o Does anybody else think so?

xEPCx Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Interested in SS and Freedom Wars... But still desperately hoping for PSO2 to come over to the west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shigomei Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Has anyone imported SS: Delta and played it? I can't see a few gameplay tweaks and cosmetic changes being worth full retail. Should have been DLC or something. On the other hand, Freedom Wars looks great. I love those kinds of storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
