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.
