Is Black Rock Shooter still a thing that is happening?

Postby Hero » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:27 pm

Sorry if this has already been asked, I haven't been around in a while. I'm just wondering if there are still plans to localize Black Rock Shooter for PSP or if that game has been canceled?

I know PSP is pretty much dead now and Vita hasn't been as successful as many had hoped, so I wouldn't be surprised if this game has been canceled or indefinitely put on hold. But at the same time, there does seem to be a growing interest in PSP games among the niche group of PS Vita owners...

Maybe I missed a press release or two, but to my knowledge this game has been dark since Siliconera was gauging interest in a possible limited edition release late last year.

I haven't seen or read anything either. I will totally still buy it on day one, wether it is out for PS Vita or PSP is irrelevant to me. I just hope it isn't like available UMD only or some crap.

It's still alive, but they're having to iron out some issues, which aren't exactly localization issues, and they're unable to say much due to contractual issues. But, it's still gonna happen.

Great! That is some good news. Not the part about the issues, but the fact that it is still alive.

Also, this is just me posting about stuff that was posted in the BRS topic. I'm not an employee, and I may have gotten something slightly wrong.

But, I can say for certain the game is still happening.

Yes, the game is still in the works for a Western release. Since we have a BRS-specific forum, please head over there if you have any more questions.
