Bandai announces The Legend of Heroes

Bandai Games today announced The Legend of Heroes exclusively for the PSP. The game, which will be released in September, is a single-player turn-based role-playing game featuring "more than 100 unique characters to interact with, over 50 hours of gameplay and a deeply involving story line that unfolds in one of the most beautifully crafted 3D environments available on the PSP system."

Known by the name Eiyuu Densetsu Gagharv Trilogy: Akai Shizuku in Japan, the game is developed by legendary Nihon Falcom in Tokyo. The company is well known for their RPG work on many platforms and brands, including the "Ys", "Brandish" and "Sorcerian Series." While faithful to the Legend of Heroes series, players unfamiliar with the story will discover an easy-to-pick-up gameplay experience.
