Atlus and Sting aren’t even done with Gungnir, but already have another project for PSP. Gloria Union was revealed in this week’s issue of Famitsu.
Fresh off Radiant Historia, Horishi Konichi is the director of Gloria Union. Fellow ex-tri-Ace employee Hiroshi Konishi is the game’s character designer. Sunaho Tobe, who did card designs for Yggdra Union also created cards for Gloria Union. Word from Japanese forums is Gloria Union will be in stores on June 23.
We’re searching for a scan for more details and to see if Gloria Union is directly tied to Yggdra Union.
Update: Gloria Union is the latest entry in what Famitsu says is the "Union" series. I suppose this means Blaze Union and Yggdra Union are their own spinoff of Sting’s Dept. Heaven games. The battle system should be familiar to players who played past games. Sting used the same unit vs. unit system where you can use skills to deal big damage.
The lead character is Ishuto, a pirate boy who dreams of being a great pirate. With a great sword in hand, he goes treasure hunting with Pinger. She’s a childhood friend of Ishuto who looks up to him like an older brother.
