Worlds are set to collide once again with the upcoming strategy RPG, Project X Zone. Just as in the first game, the storied franchises of Bandai Namco, Sega, and Capcom are slated to come together again. While the initial announcement was coy on story details, Shacknews did its best to wrest them from marketing director Dennis Lee.

"We haven't talked too much about the story of Project X Zone 2 yet ," Lee told Shacknews. "But there is definitely something that happens that causes all of the worlds of the different video games to cross together, and then they start to have characters, enemies, and different people that leap from game to game. And then you really get to see what happens when characters from one game world invade another game world and how everything kind of comes together."

Lee also discussed the game's roster and some of what players can expect to see from the upcoming sequel. For more, check out the full interview below. Project X Zone is set to hit the Nintendo 3DS this fall.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
