The spirit of Odin Sphere returns with Grand Knights History

Looks like Japanese developers Vanillaware are ready to give us a first look at Grand Knights History for the PSP, which alongside 2009’s Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii) looks to be another much warranted spiritual successor to their lusciously beautiful cult classic Odin Sphere.

There’s not much in the way of gameplay details at the moment other than it’s a turn based RPG in which you customise one of 3 orders of knights in the realm of Ristia. Regardless of how it plays, you can always be fairly certain that anything Vanillaware puts out is going too look beautiful, which is an expectation that these screenshots go a long way to support.

It’s currently scheduled for release sometime this summer in Japan and possibly North America/Europe at a later date as all Vanillaware’s RPGs have manged to reach English shores in the past. That said, with the PSP struggling to stay alive outside of Japan and the NGP set to replace it at the end of the year, Grand Knights History getting an English translation is far from a dead cert.
