Atlus Bringing Gungnir To North America

Well now we know what announcement Atlus was teasing last week. The publisher today said it's bringing the strategy RPG Gungnir for PSP to North America next year.

Gungnir was released in Japan this past May. The gamplay formula follows closely to many of developer Sting's previous strategy titles, such as Knights in the Nightmare and Yggdra Union. Here's a quick rundown of the plot:

In a land ravaged by disparity where the impoverished must battle for survival, the fate of all is thrust into uncertainty when rebels happen upon custody of a young female noble and a magical spear of immeasurable power falls from the heavens.  Now, hunted by incumbent powers desperate to reclaim the girl and armed with a weapon capable of reshaping the realm, the Resistance must wage war to deliver themselves from the tyranny of their oppressors.

The game is due out on June 12, 2012. Check out screenshots from the Japanese version and the opening video below.
