Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today that Resistance: Retribution for PlayStation Portable will be released across Europe on March 13, 2009.
Retribution marks the series first entry on the Sony handheld platform, with the action depicting events between the original game and its sequel. Unlike the PS3 entries, Retribution places you in the shoes of former Royal Marine James Grayson and takes place from a third person perspective.
The game will feature online multiplayer functionality for up to eight players, a host of new weapons, along with the ability to play the game using a DualShock 3 controller for those of own a copy of Resistance 2 and have their PSP 2000/3000 connected via AV output to a TV.
A North American release date has yet to be announced, though expect one to crop up any time now.
