Hoshigami U.S.-bound

[03.07.01] » Atlus to bring Maxfive's much-anticipated strategy RPG stateside this fall.

   Atlus today announced that it will translate and publish Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth in North America. The PlayStation strategy RPG is developed by Maxfive, and the announcement comes as a relief to many after months of silence on the game's fate. More on the title can be found in the GIA's preview.

   "Hoshigami brings back the game play that hard core tactical RPG gamers crave," said Yu Namba, Project Leader for Hoshigami. "Hoshigami is poised to take the tactical RPG market by storm to fill the void left by classic games such as Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics."

   Hoshigami will ship this fall with a suggested retail price of $49.99 US.
