God Eater Takes A Bite Out Of North America

Namco Bandai’s take on Monster Hunter Freedom is leaving Japan, but Namco Bandai Games America won’t be publishing the PSP game. D3 Publisher is handling God Eater in North America.

God Eater takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where hunters equipped with transforming weapons team up to slay Aragami. The PSP game packs over 100 missions, ad-hoc cooperative play, and a single player storyline.

Since acquiring D3 Publisher last year, Namco Bandai passed two of their RPGs to D3’s offices. Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow, a MMO-style RPG for the Nintendo DS, is due in stores this spring. God Eater is slated for Q3 2010.
