A few weeks ago, Atlus announced the upcoming release of Crimson Gem Saga for the PSP and they’ve now released some details about the game. The story revolves around a rather unlucky fellow by the name of Killian von Rohcoff who becomes tangled up in a web of misfortune at the center of which lies the Wicked Stone, a mysterious ancient artifact. Crimson Gem Saga is a turn-based RPG with combat that focusses heavily on combos via the Critical Combo System. The game was released as Astonishia Stories 2 is Asia and Garnet Chronicles in Japan. With a graphical overhaul, new characters, story, and battle system, Crimson Gem Saga promises to be a departure from the first game in the franchise. The North American version has also received special treatment as Atlus has added an extra 1000 lines of voiced dialogue.

Crimson Gem Saga is due out May 26 for a suggest retail price of $29.99.
