Once again, Atlus snatches a game from limbo and brings it to your home.
Atlus, the publishers of such recent cult favorites as Disgaea: Hours of Darkness, and the GBA update of River City Ransom, has announced that they will be publishing the much anticipated, but oft-delayed Galleon exclusively for the Xbox.
Available in the fall of 2004, Galleon features a tale of heart-pounding adventure, dangerous romance, and nail-biting suspense from the creator of Lara Croft.
“Galleon is one of the few games in the Xbox library that has everything a gamer could wish for: a huge world to explore, gigantic bosses, challenging puzzles, amazing acrobatics and above all, Kung Fu,” said Gail Salamanca, Marketing Manager, Atlus U.S.A., Inc. “Add to that fully-voiced dialogue and an epic 40-hour adventure across both land and the high seas, and you’ll see why Galleon is the one game you won’t want to miss this year."
