Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. announced today the August 2007 North American release of Jeanne d’Arc, available exclusively for the PSP.



Jeanne d’Arc delivers a new tactical role-playing adventure set across vast lands with detailed environments, unique characters, and a diverse combat and gameplay system. In Jeanne d’Arc, players will step into a colorful world that brings together history and fantasy, taking part in a magical tale inspired by the life and times of the legendary Joan of Arc. Combining an intricate tactical combat system, a heroic story with more than 40 hours of gameplay, and a stunning visual style that truly dazzles on the PSP system, Jeanne d’Arc is ready to deliver hours of strategic RPG action to players anytime, anywhere.



The Jeanne d’Arc story begins far in the past, when a great war was waged by mankind against demonic armies attempting to invade the human world. During that time, five brave heroes created armlets to restrain the demon gods. In a quest to turn back the rueful army, a young crusader named Jeanne is commanded by mysterious voices to use the power of the magical armlet to seal away the demon king and recover her homeland once and for all.

Set among sprawling fields, battle-torn villages, and intricate dungeons, Jeanne d’Arc unfolds through more than 40 expansive and highly detailed environments, where players will engage in the pursuit of France’s resurgence. Players will control up to 14 characters throughout the journey, including humans and beasts, as they battle a variety of enemies in the quest to turn back the English domination. Additionally, players can customize their characters with more than 150 different skills and abilities throughout the game.

This game is one of the most awaited PSP games next to Crisis Core and tales of the world, and will definitely worth looking forward to. Anything that Level 5 has made so far has truly been awesome.
