Vanillaware's RPG Grand Knights History just launched in Japan, but XSEED is already on the case, today announcing that the title will come to the PSP in North America. If you haven't see it yet, this game is a beautiful turn-based RPG from the folks that made Odin Sphere and Muramasa. Just like these, Grand Knights History is hand-drawn and colorful, as you'll see in our screenshots gallery.
Grand Knights History takes place in the land of Listia, where the lands of Union, Avalon and Logres have long battled against each other. While these three nations collide on the battlefield, you play as a captain that has to pick a side, form an army and move into war.
Aside from the main, single-player game, GHK also has a massively-multiplayer element that allows players to test their knights against others. Somehow a constant internet connection is not required for this feature.
Grand Knights History will launch on both UMD and as a PSN download this winter.

There's another dozen JP-only games that already launched over there for quite sometime. Time to ressurect the PSP in the West.
Either way this is great news!
If they were an American company, then yes, but they aren't, so no.
Digital so I can put it on my Vita.
I believe it's time to get a PSP! (I gave the previous one away as a present)
