Atlus announced today a new release date and free game offer for the upcoming Knights in the Nightmare for PSP. Every launch copy, including PSN purchases, will include a digital copy of Yggdra Union at no additional cost. This strategy role playing game is now slated to release on November 9, 2010.
“One of the features exclusive to the upcoming PSP system release of Knights in the Nightmare is the ability to play as Princess Yggdra. How appropriate then that everyone who picks the game up at launch will receive a free copy of Yggdra Union. It’s the perfect bonus at no extra cost,” said Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales. “Fans won’t want to miss out on this tremendous value, essentially getting two captivating, innovative RPG experiences for the price of one.”
Originally released for Nintendo DS (June 2, 2009), Knights in the Nightmare is the fourth episode in the Dept. Heaven saga (Yggdra Union is Episode 2). This new release is enhanced to take full advantage of the power of PSP system. In addition to adding Princess Yggdra as a third character, it features remastered visuals and sounds, optimized controls, and a new opening movie from visionary director Yukio Takatsu (Persona 3, Persona 4, Yggdra Union).
Knights in the Nightmare will have an MSRP of $29.99. Each launch copy (including PSN purchases for a limited time while supplies last) will include a free digital copy of Yggdra Union.
Knights in the Nightmare
Somewhere between heaven and the underworld-in the center of a quiet lake-stood an ancient castle known as Aventheim. Without warning, denizens of the netherworld emerged and slaughtered the kingdom; nary a soul was left alive.
Within an abandoned, long-forgotten church deep in the woods, the Wisp is set free. Bereft of memory, it is drawn toward the monster-infested castle and re-awakens the souls of the vanquished knights, leading them back towards the fallen stronghold to confront the very forces of evil that took their lives.
Key Features
• An experience unlike any before it–Incorporating strategy RPG, real-time strategy, and shooter elements. Control the Wisp and activate the souls of deceased knights to aid you in destroying foes on the map.
• Over 100 characters to recruit–Find and recruit the ghosts of seven different classes of knights from your kingdom, and learn of their pasts, hopes, dreams, and untimely deaths. Sacrifice their souls to one another to balance their skills and create your ultimate party.
• A tale thrice told–Exclusive to the PSP system version, the addition of Princess Yggdra as a third playable character means that gamers can experience the game’s dark and brooding tale through three unique perspectives, making for more replay value than ever before.
Ruled by a royal family believed to be descended from the gods, Fantasinia is a prosperous and tranquil land – until the peace is shattered by the invading forces of the Empire of Bronquia. Led by the young Emperor Gulcasa, who seized power in a brutal coup d’etat, Bronquia’s Imperial Army cuts a bloody swath through the people of Fantasinia and the Royal Armies of King Ordene. Princess Yggdra Yuril Artwaltz, the sole survivor of the royal family, escapes with the kingdom’s only hope: the holy sword Gran Centurio. Fleeing to the southern tip of the continent, she encounters an unusual thief named Milanor, a young man destined to help liberate the people of her kingdom….
