In a press release sent out today announcing a partnership between Marvelous Entertainment and XSEED Games, Valhalla Knights 2 was officially announced and scheduled for a fall 2008 release. This is the first title that will be published and distributed by the newly formed partnership.

Valhalla Knights 2 is the sequel to the original Valhalla Knights for Sony's portable system. Valhalla Knights 2 will, according to the press release, add new job classes, races, weapons, spells and other items for RPG enthusiasts. Gamers will be able to experience six-on-six tactical battles during gameplay and the title will also feature two-player ad-hoc support.

"Valhalla Knights 2 will carry on the legacy its predecessor established as a beloved game in any RPG player's library," says Ken Berry, marketing and sales at XSEED. "We appreciate this game being the first in our co-publishing partnership with Marvelous Entertainment as it will help to set the quality standard high for all future games coming out of this deal."

The press release ends by noting that more games -- along with additional details on Valhalla Knights 2 -- will be announced in the near future.
