Sega announced today that Shining Hearts, the next entry in its long-running series, is headed for the PSP.  The game tells the tale of swordsman Rick, who works at an island bakery along with a hunter, a magician, and a priestess.  When a mysterious, emotionless girl washes ashore with no memory of what happened to her, Rick and his bakery pals team up to help her out.  While plot advancement opens up new areas of the island, players can engage in various sim-based activities along the way, from villager quests to sailing to material-collection minigames.

Shining Hearts is set for a winter release in Japan, though no US release has been announced.
