XSEED Games has announced they will be releasing the Marvelous Entertainment and K2-Developed PSP title Valhalla Knights for the PSP in the first quarter of 2007. Valhalla Knights takes place in a land where humans and demi-humans lived in peace in a paradise, until the Dark Lord, the previous ruler of the land, returned with his army of demons. After years of combat, he was sealed away by a hero, Rastul. However, the land that was once paradise was now a barrens known as the Cursed Land. A youth awakes one day in the Cursed Land, and must search for his lost identity... and the future of the Cursed Land.

Players are able to select their characters from one of five races - human, elf, dwarf, halfling, and machine - and one of eight classes - fighter, mage, thief, priest, knight, samurai, ninja, and anchor - something that's relatively uncommon in Japanese-developed RPGs. The game features a strategy-action hybrid system, which allows players complete controls over their actions, as well as allowing players to avoid battles on the overworld. Additionally, Valhalla Knights will feature two types of multiplayer: a co-op mode with thirty unique missions for two players, and a deathmatch mode for two.

Valhalla Knights was released in Japan on August 31, and XSEED will release this PSP title sometime in the first quarter of 2007. We'll be updating this post a little later today with our first screenshots of this title, so keep watch to this post!

Awesome, I've been keeping a watch on this game, and I was definitely hoping it would come stateside. I'm very glad to see XSeed is still around (I was getting worried since I haven't heard from them). I'll definitely be getting this, since I heard it was pretty good (and original).

How do the battles work? Random turn based battles?

I believe the game was more action oriented. I'll find out.

Is this the one IGN was calling their favorite RPG of TGS or whatever? If so, I'm all over it. PSP needs a good RPG (that isn't a port i.e. Valkyrie Profile)

I didn't care much about the announcement at first. It's just another rpg being ported yay whatever.
Then I saw the trailers and am crazy excited this is coming over. Looks soo cool. I am defintely preordering this game! Way beyond the average psp rpg out now.

The 12 mb trailer is the clearest and best

PSP needs a good RPG (that isn't a port i.e. Valkyrie Profile)I'm very glad Valkyrie Profile was ported (and added CG cinemas) because it gave me a reason to sell my PS1 version (where I made $175) while only paying $30 for my PSP version (which I prefer). Selling it almost paid off an Xbox 360, which I couldn't have gotten without it. Now I just want Suikoden I & II to come stateside, for I can do the same to my PS1 versions. ;)

Yeah, I watched more videos and I'm definitely impressed.

I still want Brave Story to come stateside the most, but it probably won't happen.
