Koei Announces Trinity Zill O'll Zero

Koei Tecmo announced this week via Weekly Famitsu that they will be bringing their highly obscure RPG series Zill O'll into the current generation with Trinity Zill O'll Zero for PlayStation 3 under the Koei brand.

If you haven't heard of Zill O'll before, don't worry about it, most people haven't.

The original Zill O'll was a turn-based RPG for the original PlayStation that never made it out of Japan. Since then, it was remade once for the PS2, and again recently for the PSP. Thus, despite the 'Trinity' and 'Zero' elements of the new installment's name, this is actually only the second original Zill O'll title.

Unlike previous installments, TZOZ is an action-RPG. Unfortunately, the scan is too low quality to be read properly, but you can check out the images below.




Well, I suppose this seals it: the PS3 is the official home of the obscure RPG.

Though none of the previous Zill O'll installments have seen Western shores, the lack of big name RPGs on the PS3 (and the lack of RPGs in general this gen) gives Trinity Zill O'll Zero a much higher chance of seeing the light of day in North America.

Trinity Zill O'll Zero will be available for PlayStation 3 sometime this year in Japan.
