Tactical JRPG Yggdra Union to Get a New Version on Smartphones

Through its official Twitter account, Japanese developer Sting Entertainment announced thatYggdra Unionwill be receiving a brand new version. This newYggdra Unionport will release in Summer 2019, on the iOS and Android Japanese markets.Yggdra Union, known outside Japan asYggdra Union: We’ll Never Fight Alone, is a tactical RPG initially released on Gameboy Advance in 2006. The game was later ported to PlayStation Portable with many new additions, including new characters, maps, and voice-overs. It seems this new smartphone version ofYggdra Unionwill be based on the PSP version of the game.The smartphone version ofYggdra Unionwill have controller support and a reworked interface for maximum comfort on smartphones. It’s still unclear what others additions will be included, and more information will be coming onSting’s official site soon.

A first teaser trailer was revealed too. It quickly introduces the events ofYggdra Union, which deals with the Yggdra War, and its key players, including protagonist Yggdra Yuril Artwaltz, the Princess of Fantasinia, who fights to reclaim her kingdom, leading the resistance against the Bronquian army’s invasion of the world.

Yggdra Unionis also the second game part of Sting’s Dept. Heaven saga, and shares the same universe or multiple connections withRiviera: The Promised Land, Knights in the Nightmare, Gungnir, Yggdra Unison: Beat Out Our Obstacle, Blaze Union: Story to Reach the FutureandGloria Union.Â

The PSP version ofYggdra Union’s added elements is what closely tied it to the previous Sting RPGRiviera, starting the Dept. Heaven saga, so I’m hoping Sting will once again include new elements that will perhaps hint at a new game coming in the Dept. Heaven saga. The last game in the saga,ÂGloria Union, released nearly 10 years ago now, in 2011 on PSP only in Japan.

It’s not impossible this new version ofYggdra Unionfor smartphones gets released outside Japan, as the original game did. Fellows fans of the Dept. Heave saga, be sure to stay tuned as more information should be coming soon.
