In light of the release of two giant next-generation consoles, the PlayStation Vita is still pumping out games. This time, ex-King of Fighters developers are making a portable version of Legend of Raven for the Vita.
The high-speed 2D fighting game, announced by developer and publisher Nicalis, Inc., will feature eight characters by King of Fighters artist, Kotani Tomoyuki, a new soundtrack, ad-hoc versus play and new fighting mechanics, among other features.
“We are extremely excited to launch Legend of Raven on the PS Vita. Originally announced for the Nintendo 3DS, we’ve since moved development over to PSN due to the incredibly overwhelming response from the fighting gaming community. With Legend of Raven on PS Vita we can take advantage of the beautiful Vita OLED screen and spend time developing new features like parallaxing backgrounds and an original new soundtrack.” – Victor Rodriguez, CEO and Executive Producer, Nicalis.
The game is set in 1926, when Japan was on the verge of welcoming the new era of “Koubun.” However, a revolution was ignited, led by those who hoped to revive the Land of the Gods, Japan. The old government then released a group of elite assassins called the “Yatagarasu” in order to maintain order and suppress the rebellion.
The game has yet to receive a release date.
