Away: Shuffle Dungeon has already been
announced as a PAL release (and
sort of announced as a North American release), even though the Japanese version of the game isn't out yet. AQ Interactive, Virgin PLAY, and (probably)
Xseed should be able to give us firmer Western release dates for the dungeon crawler now, because the delayed Japanese game
finally has its own date. Of course, that date is even
later than the vague "summer" named in the
last delay statement.
AQ Interactive announced the final (probably) release date for Japan yesterday: October 16, right in the middle of the "fall" release window Virgin PLAY planned for Europe. Unless AQ Interactive is planning a simultaneous worldwide release, we expect the late release will cause the European version to get bumped into next year. The U.S. version still has yet to be officially unveiled.
