Sony PSP
Very few details were known about the Sony PSP handheld version of "From Russia With Love" up until the console release window. MI6 first revealed plans to release the game on the Sony PSP in an exclusive article on May 8th 2005. EA officially confirmed the game on November 7th 2005. Due to the processing power of the PSP, which is almost equivalent to a regular PlayStation, the PSP version is expected to retain the same third-person perspective game engine from the console versions.

Release Dates
The PSP edition was originally scheduled for release on 14th and 17th March 2006 for the USA and UK respectively, but EA announced a delay in early March that pushed the USA release back to 4th April and the UK release to 14th April 2006.
