Acquire is probably best known for their Tenchu and The Way of The Samurai series, and soon to be known for the latest iteration in the Wizardry series. The last game in the Wizardry series to release in the US was Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land released in 2001 on the PS2, which was localized by niche masters Atlus.

The earliest installments of the Wizardry series were quite popular due to the dungeon crawling aspects and being released at the height of the Dungeons & Dragons popularity. Hopefully Acquire will be able to spice up this dungeon crawling RPG for its PlayStation 3 exclusive debut. You can look forward to an official announcement and more info when the Tokyo Game Show 2009 rolls around. We here at PlayStation LifeStyle always love hearing about more RPG’s and love it even more when they are PlayStation exclusive. As always stay here on PSLS for all the latest news on your favorite console.

Who owns the Tenchu IP? Looking at Wikipedia, it seems From Software started publishing the games in Japan a few years back, and then started developing a few of their own. Do they now own the IP or something?

An interesting bit about the Wizardry series from Wiki:

When Wizardry was first introduced in Japan, the lack of available information as well as a low quality of translation led to the game being far more seriously interpreted by Japanese players due to overlooking in-game jokes and parodies. For example, in early games Blade Cusinart was introduced as "a legendary sword made by the famous blacksmith, Cusinart" as Cuisinart and its food processors were virtually unknown in Japan and thus its meaning was misinterpreted. However, this misconception appealed to early computer gamers who were looking for something different and made Wizardry series popular. Conversely, the fourth game, The Return of Werdna, was poorly received as lacking the knowledge of subcultures necessary to solving the game; Japanese players had no chance of figuring out some puzzles.

The popularity of Wizardry in Japan led to the making of an anime OVA (direct-to-video animation), and several original console sequels, spinoffs, and ports. Most have not been released in the US.
