Sting and Atlus are working on a traditional strategy RPG where the main character, Julio, wields a spear that contains the god of war.

If you’ve been waiting to play another game from Sting log on to PlayStation Network with a Japanese account. There’s a free demo of Gungnir, Sting’s next PSP game for you to download.

Sting and Atlus have two RPGs in development together: Gungnir and Gloria Union. Famitsu ran a debut trailer for the former today, which you can watch above.

Sting’s next game is a tactical RPG where Julio wields a war god turned into a spear. While Sting developed titles are known for their complexity, Gungnir is said to be an easy to learn strategy RPG. You’ll get to find out for yourself on April 14. That’s when Sting will release a Gungnir demo [...]

While Sting is known for developing games with complicated mechanics, Gungnir is designed to be user friendly for strategy RPG fans who feel they aren’t good at the genre.

While Sting made unique gameplay systems for Knights in the Nightmare and Hexyz Force, Gungnir, as Famitsu explains, is a traditional strategy RPG.

The PSP game stars Julio Ragwell who came into possession of Gungnir, the titular lance.

The third case of fan-translation removal from the TLWiki.

Atlus may be dabbling with Norse mythology again. In Japan, they filed a trademark for Gungnir, the name of Odin’s spear, for use with video games.
