Considering the extensive experience Ghostlight has with porting JRPGs to PAL regions, which encompasses the Digital Devil Saga series, Shadow Hearts: From the New World, and so very many more titles, it’ll be interesting to see how their ports of the Agarest games works out.

Agarest: Generations of War for it’s part will feature a new battle system with active grid based battles. Of course, it wouldn’t be an RPG without the ability to roam freely, so the Agarest universe has been updated and designed anew for just that – in stunning high definition graphics no less. Finally, players will be able to participate in minigames like Bathtub, Shiatsu and Massage using the Playstation Move controller. And really, that’s all we’d like to divulge on that account.

Ghostlight have announced a delay for Agarest: Generations of War 2’s arrival to Europe, pushing it back to 10 August.

The European publisher for the game released this refreshingly frank statement:

“I’m sorry to have to report that, due to some issues that we’ve faced in getting the game age rated, the release of Agarest: Generations of War 2 will be delayed.

“I can report that everything has been resolved and the game is approved, but unfortunately the knock on effect has meant that we’ve missed our intended manufacturing date.

“The official street release date is now the 10th August.”

The statement continued with “I would like to take this opportunity to apologise on behalf of the team for this delay.

“We at Ghostlight and the Japanese developers have made every effort to release Agarest: Generations of War 2 on schedule but sometimes we run into unexpected issues that take time to resolve.

“We realise that this news is very disappointing for everyone who has been looking forward to the game and we’d like to thank everyone for their patience and continued support.”

Agarest: Generations of War 2 comes to Europe on 10 August exclusively on Playstation 3.
