Atlus has today confirmed the final release date for its 3DS action RPG Code of Princess. 9th October 2012 is the special date — for North American players, at least, as the European launch has yet to be confirmed. Pre-orders will recieve a rather attractive art book, which also contains a CD with music from the game.
In addition to getting US gamers all excited, Atlus has also put the official Code of Princess site live. The site contains lots of lovely artwork, as well as content relating to the characters and back story behind the game.
As if all this wasn't enough, Atlus has also unleashed a new trailer to accompany the game, which examines the characters of Code of Princess in a little more depth.
Produced by some of the team behind the classic Sega Saturn action RPG Guardian Heroes, Code of Princess is certainly shaping up to be something special. Let us know in the comments section if you've already pre-ordered!

That picture. I don't even know what this game is but I want it now!
Yes! Damn, why two days after B/W2!?!? I got to preorder right now!I can't wait until October! It's going to be awesome!!
OMG INSTA DL!!!!
I think the necromancer forgot to put something on before going outside...
Allegro really? they made him in C++ then
....Bewbs... o.o
@Rockmirth: Allegro means "lively" or something similar in Italitan. I don't know about you but I was just thinking about the musical tempo indication... Also, he's carrying a guitar. So most likely that.
Wow thats a decently early release! I love the character designs too
The characters look lively and interesting.
Oh come on, where's the European release date!? Even Nintendo thinks the European market is more receptive to JRPGs
it seems interesting, but it's an Atlus title... I'll be waiting to see how the reviews pan out, I'm afraid.
Best game of the year
Those panties.
I really hope they release this digitally on the eShop!
So who else caught the Dragon Quest III reference?
Man, I need a new job. There are so many great games coming out this year, but at this rate I'll have to wait until Christmas until I get another chance at a retail game.
@Damien You may want to adjust the game overview release date since a North American release date has been announced according to the article. It still says "to be announced(USA)" for some reason.
If the gameplay of this game was more like Heroes of Ruin then i totally would buy it but i wont :l
Pre-ordered
Not a fan of the anime art style, but this looks interesting.
Like TBD, I will be waiting for reviews. Looks a bit like Muramasa's combat to me, and to me that was repetitive as hell.
Also, whose idea was to release this while the Pokétsunami starts bathing North American shores?
Eh, looks mildly interesting.
Laughed a bit too much at Zozo's comment lol. It looks intresting but with all the great tittles coming out during the holiday reviews will be the deciding factor in me getting it or not.
Already have this per-ordered.
i love how Ali's 'bra' is bigger than hers. his has a lock on it, too.
i wonder what demographic this game is catering to??
Oh Atlus, always launching this type of games with provocative character design...(now where is my luminous arc 3? )
@k8smum Ali is female too. If you want proof, go to the character profiles on the game's website.This game looks awesome! I hope a European publisher picks this up. Maybe, Ghostlight will as they often publish Atlus games in Europe. I love the character designs for this game too. I also recognised some of the voice actors. I could tell that Sister hel's voice actress was Wendee Lee. Allegro's voice seemed familiar too, maybe that youtube commenter that guessed Yuri Lowenthal is right.
I need to get a 3DS game, I still have not gotten one game. After beating Xenoblade and with Last Story coming out, I will give my 3DS some actual bonding time. I am going to pre-order this and try and get it along with a maybe two other games. Will probably pick Kid Icarus for one of them then Devil Survivor Overclocked for the other.
Seems like an interesting game, especially so since it has online co-op & online versus multiplayer, according to the website.
I am most certainly pre-ordering this game.
I've known about the release date for over a month now. How come they haven't found it until now?
Haha, Solange's voice actor is Serah from FFXIII and Tohru from Fruits Basket.
I shall indeed preorder this game, hopefully I have a job with GameStop by then :3
TBH, this is the only thing I anticipate for 3DS. Nintendo is too hush hush about their products, it's hard to look forward to them.
I've been wanting to see more about this game, looks good. No pre-order right now but I am interested in getting the game.
Anyone else notice how when Solance shows up, there's a shine-bar added in to hide her breasts?
Looks like we'll be seeing the same censorship that Neptunia got fried with on this deal...if that bleeds into the game it'll be a deal breaker for me, I get tired of North American censors treating us like children when Japan can handle it just fine without complaint.
Day 1 purchase.
When is the Euro release date? Thats what I want to know.
i hope this is as good as guardian heroes n whoever said that this might be repeative must play more beat-em ups becuz thats wat they are pretty much but thats the formula ill still wait for the review as well hahaha xp
First blush, I'm thinking I'll roll with either Ali or Tsukikage, at least to start with.
Between this and Virtue's Last Reward, I should be in for an entertaining October.
Need this in europe!
What outfit!? I don't see any outfit!
They "censored" the princess's outfit so she's wearing a bikini type outfit instead of a stripper outfit. Good job Atlus! I wouldn't have bought it up otherwise. This is a title that anyone should be able to pick up and place. If the slightly altered outfit causes someone not to buy this excellent and rare game then they truly are an idiot. Not like the princess wouldn't still be smokin hot in a turtleneck sweater anyway
I'm going to wait for this one. Back in school when it comes out so my paycheck suffers... In between saving up for the Wii U and buying NSMB2 and White 2, I won't have the cash.
"censorship is like not allowing a man to eat steak because a baby can't chew it"
-mark twain
that's kinda what i feel about the whole outfit fiasco. :/
@TheAdza a year after the NA release, if you're lucky.
yeah, you guys are worried about censorship issues. lol. i really had no idea that the ali character was female...not from the art shown here. made me think of 'aladdin' tbh...
Hmm. The art looks pretty beautiful, and I imagine the parallax scrolling is quite nice on the 3DS screen. Hard to buy what appears to be a brawler for full-price, though... but all the characters might give it a lot of replay value. Love that this is coming out, regardless of whether or not I get it.
I've been excited from this ever since I heard about it (no not because of boobs... >__>) Glad it's coming to America
The way they censored the boxart is very very sneaky. Oh, and her image in the video too.
Also, wasn't Allegro female in Japan?
And... SISTER HEL FTW!
Egad! The voice-acting is atrocious!
I'm buying this day one, Atlus could take my money now.
Looks really fun, actually. Will probably get this if it comes out in Europe. Does Atlus ever release games in Europe?
A SIDE-SCROLLING BEAT 'EM UP? ON 3DS?? There have been a lot of great side-scrolling beat 'em ups in the DS family. Like...Tokyo Beat Down...well that was kinda average...Spider-Man Web of Shadows...but the sequels sucked...ya, there haven't been a heck of a lot of beat em ups in the DS family tree. Sign me up for pre-order with this quasi-Guardian Heroes sequel!
I hope this comes to the UK,as it's one of my most wanted 3DS games.
Dat sword!!!!!!!!
With um, artwork like that, this game is definitely on my radar now!
Oh, and she wouldn't catch a cold on the deserted tropical island where I'd take her and treat her like a Goddess.
A couple days after my birthday! May be good late gift.
Already pre-ordered this. October can't come soon enough!
Partial nudity might be a bit of understatement here.
Anyway, boxed copy for Europe and i'll get it week one.
I'm always sold when games come with the soundtrack and the visual books but I would care more for music. As for the game itself, I don't know .... the game doesn't really seem that impressive ... like others are saying I'll probably wait for a review.
I'm on Atlus' side after Catherine. Will keep a close eye on this.
Had it pre-ordered for months! Glad its coming with a art book and CD, the graphics look so lush, its gonna be awesome!!!
