Arc the Lad II and Arc Arena coming to PSN next week
GaijinWorks founder Victor Ireland recently dove headfirst into the NeoGAF forums to reveal some release details for a pair of titles (recently hinted at by ESRB listings) which his company will be localizing for the U.S. PSN: Arc the Lad II and Arc Arena. The two games, which only ever made it stateside in the Arc the Lad Collection for PSOne, will hit the PlayStation Store next Tuesday, November 23. Arc the Lad II will be available to purchase for $5.99, while Arc Arena -- an offshoot from the series where monsters you collect in Arc II can be fought in tournaments for prizes -- can be purchased in a bundle with Arc II for $8.99. For a brief moment, we debated between which of these two versions we would spring for, then reread the words "monsters," "collect," "tournament" and "prizes," and then the decision was pretty much made for us.
Two more Arc the Lads rated by ESRB
The first Arc the Lad game was re-released on PSN this week. According to the ESRB, it won't be the only game in the series to become a PSOne Classic. Ratings have appeared for both Arc the Lad 2 and Arc Arena Monster Tournament on PSP and PS3. In their original disc-based incarnations, the two games interact: Arc Arena Monster Tournament is an arena monster fighting game that takes monster info from Arc 2. Both were originally released in North America as part of Working Designs' Arc the Lad Collection. All that's left from the collection for possible PSN release is Arc the Lad 3 -- well, that and a documentary, cardboard standees of the characters, analog stick covers and a memory card case. Maybe for PlayStation Home?
