NIS America has secured the publishing rights to Imageepoch's Japanese action RPG, Black Rock Shooter The Game. the company will publish the PSP game in North America and Europe at a date to be determined later.

The game is set 2032 AD on Earth at a time when the planet has been ruthlessly assaulted by extraterrestrials, for 18 years. The last hope for human survival is BRS, a heroine created solely to save planet Earth; she is the ultimate battle android, but when she is awakened to end the battle once and for all, there are only twelve human beings left on Earth.
