Piggy in the middle

The PlayStation 3 may be getting fewer and fewer new titles with each passing day, but that doesn't mean the console's completely dried up. The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is a good example of a game that's gracing the system in its retirement years, and the distinctive JRPG recently received a new trailer.

However, as is often the case with these sorts of clips, there is little actual gameplay to be seen here, making the whole affair a little bland. What does elevate the video, though, is the incredibly dramatic music and needlessly invasive wordart. To be honest, we probably need a mug of tea and a nice lie down after watching it just a couple of times in order to write this article.

Interestingly, the title itself is a rogue-like JRPG which - for the uninitiated - means that all of its levels are randomly generated each time you enter them. While this system has been used in several recent action games, it's much less common in traditional turn-based RPGs, so it'll definitely be interesting to see how it plays out.

Are you excited for The Awakened Fate Ultimatum? Does a rogue-like dungeon crawler sound like a good time, or are you likely to be frustrated by its constant changing maps? Jump around in the comments section below.
