April Vita lineup and upcoming titles

By BlackLagoon 1 Comments

It's April and I'm a bit late. No excuses really, well... PlayStation dropping their weekly store update blog post has made keeping track of which games came out a bit more cumbersome, but I manage with the web store. Still, the list has been updated, so without further to do: My list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. As usual it is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

While not quite as massive what's coming in May, April has a solid lineup. Most notable releases are Period Cube: Shackles of Amadeus a fantasy otome visual novel brought over by Aksys, and NIS' puzzle game A Rose in the Twilight. As usual there are also a few indies like Lichtspeer, RPG Fairune, platformer The Deer God, and rhythm game Deemo.

Moving onto new game announcements, NISA surprised everyone by grabbing Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana instead of XSEED. Bamco confirmed their bringing over their recently announced third Digimon Vita game Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory, as is Square Enix apparently doing with the Romancing SaGa 3 port (though we're still waiting for the second entry). Kemco has another budget retro RPG in the works with Revenant Saga, and indie dev Arcade Distillery is giving us roguelite Plague Road. There is also rumblings that Rising Star Games might be publishing Drive Girls, the number one anime girls turning into cars simulator on the platform.

Over in Japan, Bamco has a Virtual On x A Certain Magical Index mashup in the works, and Arc System Works made a sequel to top down mech game Damascus Gear. A port of shoot 'em up Gundemonium is also comming, and visual novels and more Touhou.

In some housekeeping AeternoBlade II has dropped Vita as a platform and thus removed. Rain World has also moved to vaporware, since while not officially canceled there has been no talk of the Vita version for quite a while.

And we're done. Come back next month for an RPG bonanza, including Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy, Utawarerumono: Mask Of Deception, Summon Night 6: Lost Borders, Ys Origin, and The Caligula Effect.
