Torrance, Calif.,
(February 19, in the year of our Lord 2014) – XSEED
Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of
Marvelous USA, Inc., today confirmed an April 1, 2014 release
for the upcoming PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and
PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system title Ragnarok
Odyssey ACE. The PlayStation®3 system version will be available

PlayStation®Store, for a suggested retail price of $39.99. All
launch units of the PS®Vita version at retailers will ship with
a bonus soundtrack CD, containing 25 songs, for a suggested

release on the PlayStation Store will retail for $34.99.
Ragnarok Odyssey ACE will provide players with an opportunity to
experience cross-platform play between the PlayStation 3 system
and PS Vita versions for the first time in the series. In
addition, Ragnarok Odyssey ACE features a host of all-new
content, including the Tower of Yggdrasil, an enormous
ever-changing dungeon that will challenge players with different
layouts and enemies each time they enter. Further, players will
utilize the new “ACE Skill” system, an arsenal of powerful new
moves that can be unlocked when enemies drop the “Proof of
Expertise” item.
Also new to Ragnarok Odyssey ACE are a dozen elite AI
mercenaries. Solo players can recruit any two of these NPCs to
fight at their side. AI mercenaries are available for hire in
various classes and both genders, so players can pick and choose
companions that offset or support their particular character.
Ragnarok Odyssey ACE delivers on rich, new – yet familiar –
content to explore. The game features a plethora of new bosses,
items and features that expand upon the original Ragnarok
Odyssey experience. Players of the original Ragnarok Odyssey
will be able to transfer their character’s basic physical
features such as name, face and job class (but not clothing), as
well as weapon cards and monster cards (cards equipped to
clothing or acquired via NEAR will not transfer over). Any
additional DLC acquired can also be transferred by
re-downloading it from the PlayStation Store.
Ragnarok Odyssey ACE is developed by Game Arts, creators of the
Grandia and Lunar series, together with GungHo Online
Entertainment in Japan. XSEED Games will release Ragnarok
Odyssey ACE in North America on April 1, 2014. This title has
been rated T (Teen) by the ESRB.
