Marvelous Entertainment has signed a deal with XSEED Games, which will see the company establish a publishing presence in the US market.
Under the agreement, XSEED will publish in the US various titles from Marvelous' portfolio of games. The first title announced under this partnership, scheduled to launch later this year, is the RPG Valhalla Knights 2 for the PlayStation Portable.
"We're pleased to be able to announce our new expansion into the largest gaming market in the world, the United States," said Yasuhiro Wada, managing director of Marvelous Entertainment.
This series is destined to be quickly forgotten in the west (it actually has a strong niche in Japan), which is a pity, because there’s a lot to like about these games. They're not for everyone, but JRPG fans looking for something a little different would do well to try these out.
Original-Gamer writes: "With Final Fantasy XIII just under a month away, I decided to keep my time occupied with another RPG to take up that time until then. The game is Valhalla Knights 2 by XSEED Games. Now I've played a couple of games from the PS2 era that XSEED has developed, some good some not that great. But with nothing really hot out for the PSP at the moment, I decided to give it a try."
Marvelous Entertainment published some new screenshots and artwork from Valhalla Knights 2.
