XSeed Games Launches Ragnarok Odyssey Ace
Hit Action-RPG Returns with Bevy of New Additions for Cross-Platform Fun
Torrance, Calif., (April 1, in the year of our Lord
2014) – XSEED Games, the independent-minded console
publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that
the action RPG title, Ragnarok Odyssey ACE, has launched
exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system
and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system. The expanded
follow up to the original hit PS®Vita release Ragnarok Odyssey,
ACE comes with a host of all-new content, including
cross-platform play between PlayStation®3 and PS®Vita, a first
for the series. Ragnarok Odyssey ACE also launched with a dozen
different DLC packs, with more releases planned over the next
few months.
Ragnarok Odyssey ACE brings a multitude of new content to the
Ragnarok Odyssey universe, and players can engage in
action-packed cooperative play whether they are using the
PlayStation®3 system or PS®Vita. New content in Ragnarok Odyssey
ACE includes the Tower of Yggdrasil, an enormous ever-changing
dungeon that will challenge players with different layouts and
enemies each time they enter. Additionally, players can now
utilize the new “ACE Skill” system, an arsenal of powerful new
moves that can be unlocked when enemies drop the “Proof of
Expertise” item.
Also new to Ragnarok Odyssey ACE are a dozen elite AI
mercenaries. Solo players can recruit any two of these NPCs to
fight at their side. AI mercenaries are available for hire in
various classes and both genders, so players can pick and choose
companions that offset or support their particular character.
Ragnarok Odyssey ACE delivers on rich, new – yet familiar –
content to explore. The game features a plethora of new bosses,
items and features that expand upon the original Ragnarok
Odyssey experience. Players of the original Ragnarok Odyssey
will be able to transfer their character’s basic physical
features such as name, face and job class (but not clothing), as
well as weapon cards and monster cards (cards equipped to
clothing or acquired via NEAR will not transfer over). Any
additional DLC acquired can also be transferred by
re-downloading it from the Ragnarok Odyssey ACE section of the
PlayStation®Store.
Ragnarok Odyssey ACE is developed by Game Arts, creators of the
Grandia and Lunar series, together with GungHo Online
Entertainment in Japan and published by XSEED Games in North
America. The PlayStation®3 system version of Ragnarok Odyssey
ACE is available at participating retailers, and digitally
through the PlayStation Store, for a suggested retail price of
$39.99. All launch units of the PS®Vita version at retailers
ship with a bonus soundtrack CD, containing 25 songs, for a
suggested retail price of $39.99, while the PS®Vita version’s
digital release on the PlayStation Store will retail for $34.99.
