Valhalla Knights 3 (pictured right) will be releasing for the PlayStation Vita this fall. Lots of job classes and real-time combat are the focus of this action RPG title.
Ys: Memories of Celceta will also be coming to the Vita this fall. According to the press release, this promises to be the largest, least linear world in the Ys series.
Ys I & II Chronicles+ should be out very soon for the PC via Steam. This action RPG is slated for a February release.
Rune Factory 4 will help Nintendo 3DS users feel the love from Xseed. This title should release this summer and is quite popular for its mix of RPG/simulation gameplay.
Killer is Dead rounds out this announcement. Created by SUDA51, this title will be coming to both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer.
Lots of exciting news - and something to look forward to in 2013!

I love the Valhalla Knights series. That alone (plus Rune Factory) made this announcement awesome.
Rune Factory 4 and both Ys announcements make me very happy.
Can you believe I've never played a Ys game? Except for a weird RTS one that was released on the DS?
It's not exactly a popular series here in Australia :( I hope this one gets localise at all.
It's understandable. Outside of Japan it is really niche (well, you probably didn't need me to tell you that). I've only played Ys: The Oath in Felghana on PSP so far, but it left enough of a positive impression to make me interested in the entire series. I still have Ys Seven that I need to get around to playing, but newer games have made me preoccupied.
Agreed - and I've only played one of the oooold Ys games, but I recall it fondly. Really, there is a lot to like about this announcement imo. :)
buying them all!
Aw fudge, Ys 1+2 is coming for the PC? I just bought the Turbografx version for the Wii VC and suffered thanks to the terrible D-pad on the wiimote :(
I also can't decide whether I would rather play it safe and get the new Harvest Moon, or try a Rune Factory game for the first time. Either would keep me occupied for years, I'd expect
I reckon you'd love Rune Factory - the dungeon/ RPG elements help inject a real sense of variety to what you can do in the game.
The only think I don't like about Rune Factory is that the cute animals of a Harvest Moon game (Duck!) is replaced by not-quite-as-cute monsters to capture. Generally speaking though the Rune Factory games are better games, if a little less relaxing.
