Details have been released by Japanese magazine Famitsu of a follow-up to the bizzare RPG/strategy/shooter Half Minute Hero, known as Hero 30 in Japan. Hero 30 Second will again feature that ever present 30 second timer, but there are some changes and additions to take on board.

This time, all five scenarios — Overture, Judgment, Revolution, Ragnarok and Destiny appear to be completely RPG based, with around 90 quests across all five scenarios. However, if you run out of quests to run through, Hero 30 Second comes with a quest editor, plus features to allow these quests to be shared via the PlayStation Network.

Hero 30 Second extends the multiplayer of the original to include four heroes racing against the clock, and a mode called "Infinite Hero", where you must fight against an endless horde of demons. Hero 30 Second is scheduled for a November 4th release, with no news as yet to a release outside Japan.
