The mysterious collaboration for 3DS revealed as Project X Zone...

Remember the mysterious teaser for a new 3DS game from Sega, Namco Bandai and Capcom a couple of months back? Well the identity of the game has been revealed, and you can enjoy the first details courtesy of Andriasang.

The game is called Project X Zone, and is a strategy RPG, rather than being a sort of Smash-esque fighting game as was speculated.

Where does the publisher collaboration bit come in? Well the game features an army of characters - nicely obscure ones, mainly - from Sega, Capcom and Namco Bandai's rosters. In the game, the characters team up in pairs to battle.

The characters involved were revealed as follows:

Capcom: Ryu & Ken (Street Fighter 0), X and Zero (Mega Man), Demitri and Dante (Darkstalkers and Devil May Cry), Chris and Jill (Resident Evil).

Sega: Shinguji Sakura and Ogami Ichiro (Sakura Wars), Pai and Akira (Virtua Fighter), Kurt and Riela (Valkyria Chronicles), Ulala and Touma (Space Channel 5 and Shining Force EXA).

Namco Bandai: Sanger Somvold (Super Robot Wars), Jin and Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken), Kos-Mos and T-elos (Xenosaga), Yurie and Estel (Tales of Vesperia), Kaito and Black Rose (.hack).

A debut trailer for Project X Zone is expected later this month.
