Kotaku is reporting that the forthcoming PlayStation Portable brawler Unbound Saga will be released directly onto the PlayStation Store on July 16.
The comic-book inspired game developed by Vogster is one of the first third-party PSP games to be released as a download instead of a UMD. Mario Kroll, director of marketing at Vogster, says we can expect to see more PSP games bypass UMDs entirely, following the lead of Patapon 2.
By skipping UMDs all together, gamers will have access to hit titles much faster. However, many gamers still like filling their shelves with the trophies that are original game boxes.
