Langrisser getting a new game next year

This was a blast from the past, but Langrisser was one of those games most people never really played. Oh, and it went by another name - Warsong here in the US. If you are a long time reader here, that name might sound just a little familiar to you. Why? Because when it came out on the Genesis years ago, it was arguably my favorite game ever, and in my opinion the best strategy game of its time. I have referenced it in reviews over the years and even made mention of how I was disappointed that the sequel never got a North American localization in a recent article.

So yeah - this is pretty exciting stuff for me.


Here is the press release:
