Expect The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch to hit shelves sometime this month - but until then, you'll have to just sit back and enjoy the trailers and screenshots.

Namco Bandai has released 2 new gameplay videos taken from The Legend Of Heroes II: Prophecy Of The Moonlight Witch, a new role-playing game for the Playstation Portable scheduled for release this summer.

Prophecy Of The Moonlight Witch is the follow-up to A Tear Of Vermillion, which received mostly average reviews. The sequel hopes to strongly improve with a better AI, which gauges the player's strength before attacking; colorful and detailed visuals as well as a return of the pet system.
The story revolves around two travelers who must save the world from a dangerous curse threatening to destroy everything they know and love - with a plot like this, The Legend Of Heroes II is totally looking to be a piece of old-school 2D role-playing, a genre rather absent in the current console line-ups.
