Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen lands in May

Strategy RPG, part visual novel, Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen will hit PS4 and Vita with cross save on May 26 in America and on the 29th in Europe thanks to NIS America, probably the last sizeable publisher to release a game on the portable. 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.
