In the latest Weekly Famitsu, Masaya Games has announced they will be releasing a new Langrisser for the 3DS this summer.

It has been fifteen years since this particular series has seen a new release.

Character design for the game will be done by Hiroshi Kaieda.

This game will take place in a world flooded with water and the story follows a young man who bears the legendary sword Excalibur on a quest to be reunited with a childhood friend  and must cross an empire’s army to do so.

This game could look particularly different from previous titles as thier seems to be hints that instead of the fantasy-style of the other games in the series, this one might have a more futuristic look and feel as well as a steampunk elements.

More details are sure to be released soon as we near the release date of this game.
