Xseed Will Announce Another Game From Sumioni Developer Acquire

By Spencer . February 2, 2012 . 5:31pm

Xseed Will Announce Another Game From Sumioni Developer AcquireXseed brought Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls overseas and will publish Sumioni: Demon Arts for PlayStation Vita soon. Sumioni is particularly interesting because Xseed shares ownership of the intellectual property with Acquire. A representative from Xseed confirmed this news with Siliconera.

 

Sumioni: Demon Arts won’t be the only Acquire game from Xseed this year either. In fact, Xseed is going to announce another Acquire developed title "soon." With Shinobido 2 in Namco Bandai’s hands and NIS America publishing Clan of Champions (i.e. Gladiator Vs. in Japan) that leaves Akiba’s Trip, Class of Heroes, and the Wizardry sequel for PS3… unless the title Xseed plans on announcing hasn’t been revealed.

 

Acquire was recently purchased by GungHo parent company of Ragnarok Online developer Gravity Games and Lunar legend Game Arts. Xseed also licensed Ragnarok DS, which was developed by GungHo.

    Sure, I appreciate all the Vita love, although I still don’t want one, XSeed, can you stop announcing games and just finish TitS PLEASE!

    • http://twitter.com/sheleigha Shel

       Sooo you don’t want them to make any money through other titles? You DO realize how big SC is, and how long it’s going to take, right?

  • Phoenix_Apollo

    Oh god, Akiba’s Trip would be cool, and having another Wizardry would be a great surprise. I kinda want that over a new, unheard of game.

  • http://twitter.com/DanijoEX DanijoEX

    For one, I’m kinda wanting to see Akiba’s Trip as a canidate.

  • http://www.siliconera.com Jenni

    I’m hoping for Akiba’s Trip, but I’d be really happy with more Wizardry! Though really, XSEED does a great job of picking games to localize and I’d probably be happy with any announcement.

    Akiba’Strip is what I’d like to see most, but Class of Heroes would be cool too.

    On a side note, where the heck is Grand Knights History at? It was announced months ago for a winter 2012 release and I haven’t seen a thing about it since then. Demon Arts is due out soon and I can only assume Knights won’t be released anywhere near that, so whats the deal?

    • Herok

      it comes out Feb 21

    • Masengan

      I was actually pleasantly surprised that it was coming out in the states and then this month? Made my day I can’t wait to get it.

  • Thomas Maloney

    Akiba’s Trip or Class of Heroes.

    • PoweredByHentai

      Class of Heroes!  Rawr!

      Followed by Akiba’s Trip.

  • brian yep

    It’ll probably be Wizardry since it supposedly did well and it’d be less text than Akiba, though I was hoping for Akiba.
    Wizardry is also on PS3, not PSP.

  • Okuni-chan

    Akiba’s Trip FTW! 
    ❛◡❛)ノ

  • Raiu

    As much as I want Xseed to start on LOH:Trails in the Sky SC like right now, so Akiba’s Trip please….

  • z_merquise

    That’s nice. It’s great that the likes of XSeed publish niche games.

    And speaking of XSeed, would we get an update for Grand Knights History? It’s been a while since they first announce it.

    • Herok

      its out on Feb 21

      • Blesmi

        Actually Tom has already said that GKH will NOT be coming out on Feb 21, due to Vanillaware being currently busy with finishing up Dragon’s Crown or something of that accord. 

        • http://twitter.com/jepop Jefri Wiradiputra

          so when will we get our hands on GKH then? dont say it going to be cancelled *sob

      • z_merquise

        I went to XSeed’s website and it opened these stupid viagra advertisements. Looks like their website was hacked.

        Those hackers, they can target all annoying people and companies they want but XSeed isn’t among them!

        People at XSeed don’t deserve this. I hope it would be fixed soon.

        (Sorry for being out-of-topic there, but I just went to their site recently and this happened)

    *Soul Eater expression for those who have encountered Excalibur*

  • Spirit Macardi

    Please be Class of Heroes! Preferably the version for 3DS!

  • SolidusSnake

    “…that leaves Akiba Strip, Class of Heroes, and the Wizardry sequel for PS3…”

    Can’t go wrong with any of these.

    • PrinceHeir

      i think a new Tenchu would be awesome as well :)

      though a new Wizardry would be godlike :P

      old school gameplay FTW!!!!!

  • http://twitter.com/TheGrimHeaper The Grim Heaper

    Can’t it also be Way of the Samurai 4? That was just recently confirmed for a European release…

    • landlock

      Yep. That’s what is gonna be, Rising Star don’t localize there own games very often. So chances are a US publisher already has it.

  • etroplus

    Is there any chance that it could be Way of the Samurai 4?  I know that Rising Star is going to bring it to Europe, but no one has announced it here yet.  Xseed still has a chance.

  • http://gloopyeegra.wordpress.com/ Arla

    Akiba’s Trip looks really bad gameplay wise but I’d still buy it because I’m an idiot.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Eddie-Dominguez/1078890439 Eddie Dominguez

    nevermind…

  • Shadow_Raskolnik

    I’d rather have more information on Grand Knights History and when it’s release date will be.

    • https://twitter.com/#!/SplashdownTiger STiger

      Pretty sure they confirmed it for Feburary 24th.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2BOP4Z5KE5N7T5MUGIV6TEFMT4 Thomas

        Nope. As per our Facebook:

        “Definitely not coming out in February, or anytime soon for that matter,
        as we’re still waiting for any kind of an update from the developers.”

        • https://twitter.com/#!/SplashdownTiger STiger

          I was looking at my Amazon orders… they’ve still got it listed as coming out on the 21st (order would have arrived on the 24th).

          Any chance we could have a PSP theme for now?

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2BOP4Z5KE5N7T5MUGIV6TEFMT4 Thomas

            Yeah, several sites assigned it a release date despite the fact that we’ve never actually GIVEN it a release date. Has rumors flying about left and right, which we’re trying our best to clear up.

            Until we have further news to report on the game’s release, too, we’d prefer not to give out any PSP themes or anything of the sort. I’m afraid you’ll just have to sit tight for now. Once we’ve gotten official word, we’ll make sure you guys know what’s up.

            Sorry to keep you in suspense!

          • landlock

            Ah! That’s explains why it was missing from Rising Star Games line-up aswell.

        • CaveNut

          Seening how GNH isn’t coming here anytime soon, have you picked up more PSP games? I could use more PSP games.

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2BOP4Z5KE5N7T5MUGIV6TEFMT4 Thomas

            You’ll just have to wait and see. ;)

        • Ladius

          Wow, I’m sad for you :( Between Vanillaware delaying GKS and Falcom being too busy to work on a PSN version of Trails 2 it seems that working with Japanese developers can be rather hard :

          Well, no matter, will buy as soon as you release it :)

  • Darkrise

    I’m hoping for Akiba Strip.

  • http://twitter.com/matty_125 matty

    All look like winners to me. (Personally, I’m hoping for Wizardry >>)

  • ShadowWolf

    im never gonna get Over My Dead Body am i?

    • cj_iwakura

      Nope.

    • Solomon_Kano

      Sure you will. Over my dea- nevermind.

    • http://twitter.com/AnthonyFoster5 Anthony Foster

      It sold over 100k in its first week in Japan, got 9′s and 10s across the board from reviewers, and has an interesting premise that would work just as well in the west. I’d say it has a good chance, as good as anyone can expect from a psp game at least.

  • tyrantflughude

    OK people it’s called AKIBA’S TRIP NOT STRIP OK!!!!!

    • Raiu

      To be honest, Akiba’ strip seems to be a better name and meaning for this kind of game …so IS THERE A PROBLEM HERE, SIR?

      • tyrantflughude

        YES THERE IS you people need to learn to read or type better!

    • Ladius

      Come on, the title itself is an obvious tongue-in-cheek joke and even the way it’s presented in the official logo plays upon that ambiguity.

  • Somazu

    Hoping for Akiba trip or Ragnarok oddyssey

  • Draparde

    Hmm all of those games seem intresting, though i’m hoping for Class of heroes of Wizardry

    • Solomon_Kano

      … Gryffindor?

      /lame joke

  • http://twitter.com/mimiko_kupo Mimiko ♥

    Please… let it be Akiba Trip!! I’ll definitely buy *__*

  • Novac

    Please let it be a Class of heroes Compilation with 2,3,and Class of Heroes Final.

  • ManaKnight

    I have a feeling Ragnarok Odyssey is going to be published by XSEED.

    • Ladius

      RO looks great, between that, Sumioni and Ys Celceta XSeed could have a great PSV lineup in 2012.

    • http://profile.yahoo.com/EDLYGEYBADCOFOO453DCF4RLTY Thelma

      I hope so.

  • cj_iwakura

    It’s time for the Town of Forsaken Spirits!

  • LynxAmali

    Way of the Samurai 4.
    I want to believe.

  • Ladius

    Personally, I found the first PSN Wizardry rather underwhelming. It’s not a bad dungeon crawler per se, but it’s rather basic and not particularly enjoyable compared to some of its handheld competitors. Of course the lack of similar games on PS3 and the good price tag (XSeed is wonderful on this regard) helped seal the deal, but I don’t know if I would buy another one unless it’s a legitimate new game regarding mechanics and assets and is able to offer more customization, even if I could cave in just to support Lipschultz and crew.

    So, I will hope for Akiba’s Trip for now (tbh, that one is crazy enough to warrant a localization by itself).

    • cj_iwakura

      The sequel is MUCH better.

  • Solomon_Kano

    DEAR LORD LET IT BE RAGNAROK ODYSSEY!

    Sounds like a stretch, but if it happens I’d be so happy. Akiba’s Trip and Class of Heroes would be cool too.

  • xzeldax3

    I need Akiba’s Trip…I will shed manly tears if Xseed brings this game over.

  • xzeldax3

    *Disregard this double post*

  • Zefiro Torna

    Is it too late to hope for Damn Dun er… Dun Dam? The name alone always had me interested.

  • http://twitter.com/maio__ Djam

    Please let this be Akiba’s Strip or Ragnarok Odyssey

  • Ben Lyd

    I’m hoping it’s one of the PS3 Class of Heroes games. If not, then Ragnarok Odyssey. Akiba’s Trip looks okay, but I wouldn’t buy Wizardry. :I
