PS Vita entry in long-standing MMO franchise to be developed by Lunar and Grandia creators.
The Ragnarok Online series, a popular MMORPG released in South Korea in August 2002, was so popular that it received its own animated series based on the game's universe, along with a DS and mobile spin-off. GungHo Online Entertainment, the main host of Ragnarok Online's Japanese server and developers of the DS spin-off, have now announced that a PS Vita spin-off is in the works, slated for release February 2 next year.
The company is sharing development duty with Gamearts, known for developing the Grandia and Lunar series. The game's director is Kazuhiro Irie, and the composer is Kumi Tanioka, known for his music in the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series.
Ragnarok Odyssey is billed as a "hunting action" title that tasks gamers to hunt down a variety of beasts and use different weapons and skills to take them down. The title offers a four-player co-op mode via ad-hoc. The choice of character classes include the melee-focused Sword Warrior, the speed-focused Assassin, the long-ranged Hunter, the spellcaster Mage, the tank-like Hammer Smith, and the healer-slash-buffer Cleric.
The retail version will be priced at 5,980 yen (US$77) while the downloadable version will be priced 4,800 yen (US$62).
