TGS: Square announces Front Mission 3

[03.19.99] » The third chapter of Square's strategy series is PlayStation-bound.

   Just a few days after the confirmation of Legend of Mana comes another Square game announcement: Front Mission 3, the latest in its series of futuristic strategy-RPGs. Front Mission 3 will actually be the fifth Front Mission, as two spin-off titles -- side-scroller Front Mission: Gun Hazard and real-time strategy game Front Mission Alternative -- were released outside of the main series.

   Front Mission 3 will likely arrive on the PlayStation in Japan sometime before the end of the year. While none of the previous Front Mission games were ever translated, Square's increased localization efforts may secure the title a North American release in late 1999 or sometime in 2000.
