Square Enix reveals summer lineup

Square Enix just revealed its final summer lineup. The company plans to ship four different games:

1. Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth for PSP was released on July 18th. The game is remake of the 2000 title Valkyrie Profile that shipped for the original Playstation. The game promises new features and bonus content, as well as non-linear gameplay. The story, as with most RPG offerings, sees players struggle against supernatural forces that threaten the world.
2. Dirge of Cerberus for PS2 will be released on August 15th. The game follows the frenetic exploits of Vincent Valentine, who most RPG fans know appeared in the seminal Final Fantasy VII. The North American release features all-new missions, a retooled camera system and faster paced action.
3. Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime for DS will be released on September 19th. The game puts the DS to good use through Multi-Card gameplay for up to four players. Also, the system’s Single-Card Download feature lets gamers start a 16-player session.
4. Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria for PS2 will come out on September 26th. In the RPG game players will get the chance to dive into Norse mythology and control a group of fighters with a unique battle system.

Daishiro Okada, President and COO, Square Enix, Inc. “The line-up brings new titles for some of Square Enix’s most beloved series with games for casual and young gamers, as well as gamers ‘on the go,’ the revival of a cult hit, a new take on a renowned franchise and the ability to play together. We’re excited about providing entertainment that will bring in new fans as well as delight our existing ones.” Via IGN
