Craving for more golf simulation titles on your PlayStation Portable? Well, developer NTreev Soft has one for you in the form of Pangya, the hit MMORPG-based title. As of now, the game is only being planned for a Korean release.

But the developers are in attendance at this year's GDC and hinted that an international release is probable. More on this and other details after the jump!

Korean game publisher HanbitSoft knew what it was doing when it introduced its hit video game golfing sensation Pangya to local gamers. From there the video game has spread across numerous countries, infecting them with online golfing fever.

Now this MMORPG-based golf game is stepping onto the handheld platform as NTreev Soft is bringing Pangya to the PlayStation Portable (PSP). This announcement was confirmed as the publishers of the PSP version of the video game said that it would be coming out during the first half of the 2008, followed by Astonishia Story 2.

So far, Pangya for the PSP is only scheduled to come out in Korea. With Hot Shots Golf coming out next year, its sure to encounter some stiff competition with Pangya's own established name in the video game world of golf. So far no game publishers have been found to localize this game as of yet, although sources from Siliconera have mentioned Tecmo as a likely candidate.

Aside from working on Astonishia Story 2, is Ntreev Soft also working on a PSP port of their PangYa online game?

This seems to be the case given a listing we picked up over at the ESTi home site, under their projects page. ESTi's musical compositions have used in the previous PangYa installments, and DJ MAX Portable 2 by Pentavision. If this rumor is indeed true - and as their site indicates - PangYa for the PSP might be launching this year.

We don't see why this can't be a possibility. PangYa already has a successful console port in the Wii's Super Swing Golf, developed in join t partnership between Ntreev and Tecmo. Could we be looking at another WiFi multiplayer stroke-fest for the PSP in the near future? We'll let you know if this rumor checks out.

Do you guys remember Astonishia Story for the PlayStation Portable last year? It is actually a port of the original video game released for the PC back in 1994 by Korea-based development studio Sonnori. The company eventually had an agreement with Ubisoft and made the title available in North America and Europe.

If you had fun with that game, then you will be delighted to know that a sequel is currently being developed. Currently, the only company it has working on it is Ntreev Soft, which is mostly known for its online multiplayer golf simulation game Pangya. It is highly possible that Ubisoft will again back it up though, but an official statement has yet to be made.

There are no details currently known about Astonishia Story 2 but we have here a handful of screenshots that should give fans an idea regarding the upgrades the game received. The first game delved around the story of honorable knight Lloyd and his quest to recover the sacred relic known as Wand of Kinan.
