Tales of Abyss 3DS to be released in Europe

[Ssx9]

Tales of the Abyss is arriving in North America this year and according to this thread, which lists details from issue #62 of NGamer magazine, the game will also be coming to Europe. What’s strange though is the release date in Europe is set as Spring 2012, which is much later than the North American launch this fall. Either way though, the game is on its way to all regions, so that’s worth something.

Good to know that there is going to be an european release, but meh, spring 2012? Too bad the 3DS is region locked, or else you guys could get a US copy.

Yeah, it's just a rumor.

And pro tip, never list nintendo3dsblog.com as a source.

But if you read the thread, the person who said that it's coming in 2012 is a Ngamer staff.

Not that they couldn't be wrong though.

You're right, sorry.
Staff for magazines can never be wrong.

My, i do hope europe will get this earlier, it would be a shame if my gam- i mean, the game Jade is from, would be released so late.
Still, this is namco we're talking about, and releasing a game significantly later in pal regions is something namco has done before (most recent of which was vesperia which took about a year to get to PAL regions... with almost no differences between the US version (i believe you could no longer rename your characters in the PAL version)

That's probably because they need translate it to other European languages as well. I don't mind, as long as the game will be released in here.
