A remake of a 2002 title, PSP owners got a go in 2009, but this is a major update with better visuals.

Here's a new trailer fleshing out the story and characters. For the first time ever, the origins of the Utawarerumono saga are coming overseas! Prelude to the Fallen follows the story of a man with no memories who awakens in a strange world, and is taken in by a tribe of kindhearted villagers. He is accepted as one of their own, eventually receiving the name “Hakuowlo.” When neighboring nations begin to encroach on his village, Hakuowlo rises up against the tyrannical invaders, setting off on an unforgettable journey that lives on in the songs of legend.
