Picotto Knights, An Online Action RPG For Vita, May Be Heading To The West

Aww… look at that wizard and dude with a giant chakram. Behind the cute costumes, Picotto Knights from Game Arts and NHN Hangame is an action RPG meets a beat ’em up. After you create a custom knight you can master one of the game’s eight weapons. Then join your Vita owning buddies either through Wi-Fi or 3G to fight dragons together. Picotto Knights will be available on September 20 on Japan’s PlayStation Store. It’s a free to play game with additional items you can buy for real world money.

GungHo and NHN haven’t announced if they will bring Picotto Knights to North America or Europe, but it looks like they’re planning to. GungHo filed a trademark for Picotto Knights in the US trademark database. Perhaps, an announcement will be made at Tokyo Game Show since the game will launch during the event?
