Not quite as many game reveals in Japan last month, but a port of Dynasty Warriors 8 with the full Xtreme Legends expansion wasn't bad, nor was the remake of Atelier Rorona. Their first project is sending Borderlands 2 off into the Lang Zone for a Vita port, so hopefully they've got more in store for our little handheld. More recently at PAX, SCEA also revealed their Third Party Productions team - a group formed to help bring third parties bring their games to PlayStation platforms and also localize games from Japan. I'm not going to list them all since you can find the all below, but highlights include Minecraft, Fez, Velocity 2X, Rogue Legacy, Starbound, and Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse, and Sony published games like twin stick shooter Helldivers from the developers of Magicka, creepy adventure Murasaki Baby, and Lemmings Touch. Well, Sony announced announced around two dozen indies/downloadable games at Gamescom. Silent Hill demake Lone Survior might make an appearance too, but that remains to be confirmed. And there's Atelier Meruru Plus, thankfully with a bit more fanfare than Totori's complete stealth release, while Dragon Fantasy: Book II continues Ogden's adventures as a 16-bit, Chrono Trigger inspired, retro RPG. Also coming out after a delay, though in this case just from last month, is boxing game Real Boxing. The PSN line-up is pretty nice too, with KickBeat finally making an appearance after missing its original launch target almost a year ago. There's also a tentative release date for action RPG Valhalla Knights 3 at the end of the month, though XSeed has yet to officially confirm it.
Less great is the repackaging of last years FIFA with updated teams, but I suppose we should be happy EA is bothering with the game at all. It's a big month for retail releases, as gorgeous looking platformer Rayman Legends barges out at the start of the month, followed closely by Killzone Mercenary - which promises not only the highest production values you've ever seen in a handheld FPS, but a excellent gameplay to boot. As usual, it is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below. And, we're up to September, and I'm here again with a rundown of upcoming and recently announced games for the PlayStation Vita.
