Rainbow Skies promises to have a new world with new characters. The developers are also working on a new story so this is not exactly a sequel.

Marcus Pukropski, CEO of SideQuest Studios said: “Built on Rainbow Moon’s system, Rainbow Skies is a completely new game that is set in a new world with new characters and a new story.”

“A lot of feedback has been taken into consideration and we are confident that Rainbow Skies will offer an even deeper and more versatile gameplay experience, while staying absolutely true to its roots. We can’t wait to show more of Rainbow Skies to our fans.”

The game also promises to have an advanced combat system, mini games and an improved side quest system.

Rainbow Skies is current schedule for a 2014 release for handhelds and consoles.

Rainbow Moon is a very old school RPG that was released on PSN recently, and we even reviewed the game giving it a glowing score. You can read the review here.

Well guess what? The game is now confirmed to be released on the Vita. The thing is such a game would be a perfect fit for the Vita, so this is the reason why I’m so excited.

“We’ve been thinking about bringing Rainbow Moon to other platforms for quite a while, and the PlayStation Vita has been high up on our list as one of our favorite platforms,” EastAsiaSoft’s Nils Ngai told IGN.

“The PSP has been the number one platform for JRPGs in recent years and Sony built up a very strong fanbase. The PS Vita has a lot of potential and with the right games, we are confident that its userbase will grow strongly during the coming years. Hopefully we can contribute a little part to it with our upcoming PS Vita port [of Rainbow Moon].

“The final decision to bring Rainbow Moon to PS Vita was made because of the game’s success on the PlayStation 3 and really strong user feedback. During the last couple of months we have received hundreds of requests, which ultimately influenced our decision.”
