We recently reported that the classic strategy series Langrisser - known in the west as Warsong - is getting a new entry for the Nintendo 3DS. That title now has a final name - Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei - and a solid release window of July in Japan.
The game will replicate the classic battle system seen in the original titles, and will feature hidden stages and 40 voice actors. The love interest angle introduced in Langrisser III will also make a return via "Confession Events" which impact the overall story and ending. Noriyuki Iwadare - who was responsible for the superb music in past entries - will return to compose the soundtrack.
Publisher Masaya has also revealed details on a limited edition "Legend Box" for the game, which comes with super-deformed character figures, two soundtrack CDs containing more than 20 songs from from previous entries in the series and a 64 page art box featuring the work of Satoshi Urushihara and Hiroshi Kaieda.
There's no word on a western release at this time - but would you want to see one? Share your thoughts by posting a comment.

I'd love to see a western release, but it's niche and seems complicated to localize. I'll probably import it just to be safe.
I kinda want to play this game, but i should play Fire emblem awakening first
Sounds like a nice limited edition. I'm hoping it finds it's way over here.
@Vineleaf And some of the female designs are ridiculous and atrocious
It looks interesting. I also agree that some of the outfits are ridiculous but it looks like fun. I would love to see the box set come to the states.
@TingLz Tingle, have you seen a mirror lately?
I'd love to see a localization happening, the 3DS to me, thrives on these kind of niche games. I'm not buying one to play shooter, racing or sports games, but Nintendo games like ALBW, FE:A etc. and these kind of games. Each one by itself might not set the world on fire in terms of sales, but looking at the system as a whole they add up and they play an important role in keeping the system relevant.
i'd love to see this game in the west but i'd be surprised if anybody localizes it. langrisser is an amazing trpg but only the most die hard fans of the genre know of it.
i think it would sell with fans of the fire emblem series but the cost of marketing and localization would scare off anyone wanting to localize it. i hope it sells well in japan to create buzz
I'm going to resist the temptation to import this for now. Hoping for a western release.
@PolarKoalaBear I don't wear bikini armor with most of my skin exposed
I'd love to see a western release but I can't say I'm a fan of the new art style.
If it came to the west, I wouldn't buy it. The girl on the left is fine, but the others are ridiculous (even the guy's little sister!): http://www.langrisser.jp/character.html
Hope this does get released over here! Even if it's just digitally!!
I always was interested in the Langrisser games, but always had trouble finding any of them. Now, I wonder how Urushihara plays into the character design - the cover most definitely doesn't look Urushihara to me.
@TingLz Write a tumblr blog.
@Sunkern191 That's nothing. And at least it's more stylish than Code of Princess, which had a good design, but a terrible artist.
I don't use tumblr
Ship it!! Ship it now!! Need more strat rpgs and tacical games! With the obvious absence of advanced war franchise in the 3ds lineup we need this in the states!
Looks interesting but probably no market for this unless digital only ... Need some game footage but like the art direction...
@TingLz You wear a red speedo with a tight costume on that make you look oily and to top it off you're a 35 year old man. Tingle you're all kinds of ridiculous and overall weird.
Hope XSeed or Atlus gets on this for a NA release.
It will be an absolute miracle if this gets ported
*laments that we never got Metal Max 4
@Chaoz That's fair
I would love to see a western release for this game. It's right up my alley!
YES I WANT A RELEASE!!!!!! Especially since there's some romance in this-we hardly get romance in any 3ds games, and the ones we do get are limited to certain franchises (harvest moon, rune factory, fire emblem) so YES please release this. There are plenty of people who I believe would pick up this game. After the success of recent jrpgs like FEA and Bravely Default, I think it's safe to say there's an audience here for Langrisser.
If they localize this, I will finally buy a 3DS. And who cares about the costumes? Have you seen League of Angels? I'm not a fan of the new art style either, but I would prefer no alteration from the original J-version. Just translate it and ship it!
Better yet, release it for the Wii U
