Knights in the Nightmare is a new roleplay game for the PSP®(PlayStation®Portable) system, which is set for release in October. Atlus announced the release of the trailer for the game today.

Aram Jabbari, the Manager of Public Relations and Sales at Atlus, had this to say about Knights in the Nightmare:

“Knights in the Nightmare is the ultimate gamer’s game. It blends fast-paced arcade-style action with deep, rewarding strategy. It offers a dark, emotional story from multiple perspectives, and it’s loaded with replay value and secrets to discover; this video trailer only scratches at the surface of all that. While it may not give someone completely unfamiliar with the game a perfect idea of how the game plays–only playing will accomplish that, it gives folks their best look yet at the enhanced widescreen visuals, the beautiful art and music, and a good feel for the game’s distinct pace and flow. Also, if you don’t watch this trailer, a puppy somewhere will be really, really sad.”

The trailer of the game, which looks like your typical roleplay endeavor can be seen below:

Atlus boasts that the Knights in the Nightmare PSP game features remastered visuals and sounds, optimized controls, and a new opening movie from visionary director Yukio Takatsu (Persona 3, Persona 4, Yggdra Union).
