Astonishia Story

As one of the very few PSP RPGs, Astonishia is already astonishing

| Jan 13, 2006

Ubisoft has announced it has acquired the rights to publish Korean PSP role playing game Astonishia Story in all territories outside of Korea and Japan.

The game focuses on the efforts of a royal knight who embarks on an epic journey to retrieve a stolen sacred relic symbolising fortune and prosperity. Along the way, assistance from wizards and numerous mysterious allies will be crucial if the knight is to succeed in his quest.

While the game is expected to offer a decent RPG experience, it is currently most notable for bolstering a genre currently criminally under-represented on Sony’s handheld. The game is due out in the US in March but on this side of the Atlantic we're going to have to wait a little longer.
