‘Odin Sphere Leifthrasir’ Confirmed For A Western Release

Shortly after the reveal of an HD remake for the PS2 classic, Odin Sphere, for the East, Atlus has confirmed that the game will be coming stateside as well! In 2016, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, (pronounced LAYV-thra-sheer), will launch in the West for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, bringing back the gorgeous hack and slash title that put Vanillaware on the map.

But it’s not enough just to port the game to newer consoles, which is why Atlus is promising a series of new features. Following five characters with unique stories based off of Norse mythology, this action RPG is getting all the bells and whistles to ensure that this classic has a real chance of ending up even better. Including redrawn art and upgraded visuals, Leifthrasir will also come equipped with a host of new upgrades to the combat and RPG elements, giving even veteran players a reason to come back!

Specific details are light at this point, but for anyone who played the original Odin Sphere as the sixth console generation was coming to a close, you’ll know how much of a win this is for those who love a visually stunning, often challenging 2D brawler. If you missed out, check out the trailer below and see what all the hype is about!
