Capcom announces Ixion Saga

Ixion Saga, a new online multiplayer combat game, launches on PC next year, publisher Capcom has announced.

According to Andriasang the title was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu. It's an eight versus eight combat game that sees you doing battle with swords, guns and magic.

There are three default character classes to choose from - Striker, Caster and Blaster – and players can reportedly form "unions" with others.

A Western release wasn't mentioned but an alpha kicks off in Japan next month, with a full launch then anticipated in Summer 2012.

No screens yet, though a tasteful teaser site has gone live that should give you an idea of the general vibe.
