XSEED Games - Image 1North America's PSP is about to get an additional dose of JRPG-luvin' in the next couple of months, at least as far as XSEED Games is concerned. XSEED has just announced that aside from releasing Valhalla Knights on April 17, they are now making plans to release Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground, and Brave Story: New Traveller for the U.S. within this year.

In Dungeon Maker, players are placed behind the controls of a novice dungeon-maker. Expect plenty of action as the dungeons you create and customize get bigger, which then lures in stronger and rarer monsters. Other features include a real-time combat system, with players utilizing a wide range of melee and ranged weapons, magic spells, special attacks, and summons.

Lastly, there's Dungeon Maker's network mode, which allows players to trade dungeons with their friends, as well as show their monster's vital statistics via the PSP's wireless connection. Originally released in Japan on September 28, 2006, Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground will be arriving in North America in July.

The second game coming up is Brave Story: New Traveller, which some of you may have seen in its movie form. Based on the novel by Miyuki Miyabe, Brave Story tells the story of a boy and his journey into the world of "Vision", where he hopes to meet the Goddess of Fortune to have his one wish granted. The game, aside from making use of turn-based combat, also features a Friendship system. This system allows the player to form special co-op attacks with their allies based on the strength of their bond. There's also the Growth system, with the main character's weapon constantly evolves as the story progresses.

Originally launched in the Land of the Rising Sun in July 2006, the U.S. release for Brave Story: New Traveller is expected to be by Q3 2007.
