Tri-Ace developing two games for 3DS and PSP

Konami and acclaimed RPG developer Tr-Ace have announced two new titles in development for the Nintendo 3DS and PSP.

The first title, Frontier Gate, is a multiplayer RPG that will release for the PSP. The game will centre around a guild as they explore a frontier of riches as warring nations fight over the territory. Combat will be turn-based, with multiplayer enabled through ad-hoc but not online.

The second title, in development for the Nintendo 3DS, is Beyond the Labyrinth. It is being directed by Takayuki Suguro, who most recently directed Resonance of Fate.

The game will feature 3D dungeon exploration gameplay with a focus on bright, colourful visuals to distinguish it from darker dungeon-based RPGs. The story will centre around a young girl who "will talk a lot", though little else is known about her or the story.

Frontier Gate will release first, as the title is reported to be 80% complete and scheduled for later this year. Beyond the Labyrinth is currently 60% complete, with a release date TBA.

Neither game has been confirmed yet for release outside of Japan.
