Yggdra Union Set for PSP

via IGN


Atlus's late life Game Boy Advance RPG, which went by the completely unpronounceable name of Yggdra Union, is making a return to the game scene in 2008. The company has announced in the latest issue of Famitsu a remake for the PSP to be titled Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone.

It's a bit unclear exactly how much "make" is going into this particular remake. Famitsu mentions a new three minute animated opening movie, a few new characters, and new scenarios. Voices are being added to up the drama during event scenes. While the game still uses sprite-based characters, battle animations are being improved. And, of course, the game fully supports the PSP's wide screen format.

Yggdra Union (it's pronounced Yugudora, by the way) is set for Japanese release on 1/24/2008. Its fate in the US will likely be determined by how much is new, so let's hope Atlus isn't cutting corners.

Great. So it will be along the same lines as Riviera - The Promised Land.

So it should be a decent title and shows still that the PSP is an RPG lovers dream machine.
