Knights in the Nightmare hitting PSN and stores in October

VG247 writes:

Knights in the Nightmare is leaving Japan, and heading west on October 19.

To get you ready, Atlus released a trailer for it which you can find below.

Originally released for DS in 2008, the RPG-shooter mix was re-released on PSP in Japan back in April.

This version contains all-new controls, an opening anime movie and a catalog of in-game dialogue for players to browse through.

Here’s the backstory:

Somewhere between heaven and the underworld — in the center of a quiet lake — stood an ancient castle known as Aventheim. One night, without warning, denizens of the netherworld emerged and slaughtered the kingdom; nary a soul was left alive.

Within an abandoned, long-forgotten church deep in the woods, a wisp is set free. Bereft of memory, it is drawn toward the monster-infested castle and re-awakens the souls of the vanquished knights, leading them back towards the fallen stronghold to confront the very forces of evil that took their lives.
