XSEED teases sequel localization announcements

Corpse Party? Wizardry? We round up the possibilities.

Those of you who have played PSP‘s The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky will know that the game ends on a cliffhanger. But its sequel, Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter, has yet to leave Japan. So what about the U.S.?

“We haven’t given up on it,” Ken Berry, director of publishing for XSEED, who handles Falcom-developed game localizations, told Kotaku. “We’re talking possible platform changes, a huge amount of text, technical issues… That one is still difficult.”

Okay, then. What else are you planning?

“We will likely be announcing sequels to a couple other titles that we’ve released in the last year or two,” he said. “Maybe in the next month or two.”

For reference, XSEED released the following games since 2010:

Ivy the Kiwi? (DS, Wii)
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (DS)
Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls (PSN)
Corpse Party (PSP)
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (PSP)
Ys I & II Chronicles (PSP)
Ys: The Oath in Felghana (PSP)
Ys Seven (PSP)
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (PSP)
Sumioni: Demon Arts (PSV)
The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces (Wii)
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Wii)
Samurai Shodown: Sen (360)

Of the batch, the only sequels announced in Japan are: Corpse Party: Book of Shadows (PSP), a rumored Solatorobo 2 (3DS), the aforementioned Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter (PSP), Ys Celceta: Sea of Trees (PSV, I guess this can be considered a sequel), and Wizardry: Torawareshi Bourei no Machi (PSN). So expect two of those.
