Konami held a brief press conference today. They have a brand new game coming to the Nintendo 3DS called Beyond the Labyrinth. Described as being very "Ico-like" in terms of visuals and areas, it's a joint effort between Konami and Tri Ace. The press conference yielded a very brief first glimpse at the game in motion. Beyond the Labyrinth is described as a dungeon crawler RPG. Though that is basically the extent of what we know about the gameplay. You seem to control the girl, but at times she also seems to acknowledge you as the player, speaking directly to you through the screen and even taking hold of your perspective to shift your attention to a part of an area she's in. The battle system (if any) remains to be seen at all. So as of now, just enjoy the very brief glimpse at the game's attractive art and pretty visuals. Beyond the Labyrinth has no release date for any region as of yet. It is expected to be playable at next month's Tokyo Game Show however. Expect some more information and perhaps more gameplay by then (and hopefully a release date). Stay tuned! [/p]
