Atari just announced that they will be releasing a Dungeons & Dragons game for the Playstation Portable.
Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics will use the D&D 3.5 rule-set and let players take a party of six through a world of turn-based adventure. It sounds a little like LOTR: Tactics.
D&D: Tactics offers an original, intriguing DUNGEONS & DRAGONS storyline. Players take on the role of a mortal child caught in a conflict of two competing dragons striving for godhood. Alignment is critical, as it affects the end of the story and allows players to change from good to evil, or the other way around, depending on which quests they choose. Gamers will play through a series of adventures, completing various objectives along the way. D&D: Tactics offers all the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS base character classes including Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer and Wizard. Five Prestige Classes are available, as are two Psionic classes, the Psion and the Psychic Warrior. Players will be able to customize their characters and store as many as their memory stick can handle.
D&D: Tactics will support wireless play and include a multiplayer modes. Gamers can play through the campaign in Co-Op mode or take each other on in deathmatch mode in a series of special arenas. The game will also suport downloadable maps.
Check back tonight for the first screens.

Call me queer, but I'm kind of excited about the possibilities of this game.
Me too. I love a good tactics game, like Fire Emblem, and this sounds right on the money. If you haven't tried it yet, give Age of Empires for the DS a whirl. I'm really enjoying it too.
actually, the first screens are out - gamesradar has the exclusive. http://www.gamesradar.com
Can anyone help finding the shots on GamesRadar? That site is whack!
Go to the PSP page using the awful animated menu on the left side of the home page. BTW, the screenshots look totally craptacular - if I were the dev, I might've held off releasing them until I had something that was a bit more impressive.
