During the Japan Expo 12th Impact event in Paris, France this week, Namco Bandai announced the European release date of its 3DS role-playing game, Tales of the Abyss.
Based on the 2006 PlayStation 2 original, Tales of the Abyss stars Luke fon Fabre, the heir to an aristocratic family who has spent too long being isolated from the outside world and living the life of a spoilt and naive youth. When he embarks on his adventure outside of his normal realm of existence, he learns about the value of friendship, duty, choice and sacrifice.
Tales of the Abyss is scheduled for release across Europe and Australasia on 10th November. The North America release date has yet to be determined.

Does his happy dance
More RPG's for the 3DS please!
Look's fun, hopefully it will be in America.
Awesome, this game looks amazing. It looks like it could be the second best GOTY with Xenoblade chronicles being the best.
Will probably pick this up, although, I do need to be saving for Super Mario, Mario Kart 3DS, Kid Icarus Uprising.....
Oh, yeeaah!!! We haven't got PS2 version in our continent and now, we'll have the 3DS version!!! Good news!!!
Hopefully this means NA's release date will be announced soon.
Australasia? Have Australia and Asia merged together or have you guys made another error? ;P
need to save more money...
Nice!
I'm looking forward to this but my poor wallet will be empty this november.

@8: From Wikipedia,
"Australasia is a region of Oceania: Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean (Island Melanesia, potentially including Wallacea)."
So, the game will work on 3DSs sold in the entire said region.
(P.S. at the end of the comment, there is a ";P".)
Sooner than expected...and horrible timing apparently.
Well its an RPG, we Americans shouldn't expect it in the state. I'm sure they have a new Cooking Mama for us which apparently is just as good.
You guys do know that its already been announced for the U.S., just that it hasn't been dated yet, correct?
this and mario are my 2 most anticipated 3DS releases...Luigi's mansion 2 and Starfox follow it...some exciting stuff coming...and I'm thoroughly enjoying OOT
EUUUUUURRRROOOOOOOOOOPE
initiates final countdown
Man my birthday and Christmas list just keep getting longer and longer. Now hurry up an announce a date for the America's
Definitely looking forward to this one, even more than some first-party titles.
I love RPG's, but I want more info.
it's a bit far away but it will do. i am just getting bored with all these announcements about things that will come... in six months.. next year.. "in the future" and ofc lets not forget "soon"... i want to know about things that will come in maximum 2 months... 3DS will hopefully get a healthy dose of RPGs. if they could port xenoblade etc. on 3ds it would be awesome! this way they would be able to keep everyone happy!
@ryanthehedgehog
Just look up the PS2 version, it'll be the same game except in 3D.
@Mickeymac There are a few minor changes like improved loading times and framerate and touchscreen shortcut battle commands but it is mostly the same.
I hear Namco is conspiring against the States with Nintendo
the question now is. When will NA be getting it, if we are still getting it.... Still we should know at the next 3ds press conference in NA, If Namco Will be there,
Is this turn-based or live action?
Action, and for the record the whole series is action-based.
Gotta love how Mickeymac pointed out that it's going to be released in NA, yet people are still wondering.
@Teh-Ray: I dunno why they're wondering. Namco confirmed a NA release
Unlike the Wii, NoA are bringing RPGs to the 3DS. Of course the DS has alot of strong RPGs itself so its not a surprise.
eh it will either come out a month early or to my guess since november 10 is a friday im guessing it will come out next week after that on the tuesday
so i already figured out the release date in my own mind
It's TBA for America right? Hmm, I wonder if it will come out by the end of this year here.
