SCEE has revealed that Bend Studios’ PSP FPS Resistance Retribution will be released in Europe on March 13th, VG247 reports.

Retribution is the first foray for the series on PSP – indeed, it is the first time Sony’s brand has appeared on any format other than PS3.

Unlike its console predecessors, Retribution is a third person title featuring new weapons, enemies and weapons. Using a third generation PSP game engine, the title promises visuals and performance a leap ahead of anything seen on the handheld to date.

Retribution will hope to mirror the success of Insomniac’s previous PS3 releases, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2, the first of which was a launch title whilst the latter arrived last November.
