Fantasy Life is the incredible, excellent RPG/Animal Crossing clone (yes, that can be a thing) developed by the great Japanese developers Level-5 (of Professor Layton, Ni no Kuni fame) exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. The game was launched in Japan ages ago, but now it is finally going to be launching in the west. And while so far we have had a confirmed release date for the US, we have had none for Europe.

Well, now we do! The game will be launching in Europe on September 26, and, with its unique blend of local, asynchronous, and online multiplayer features, it should be a pretty big hit in that territory as well.

This would be the first big release for the Nintendo 3DS in months, which has been having a pretty slow year, after an eventful 2012, and especially 2013, which saw a number of high profile releases.

Stay tuned to GamingBolt as we bring you more and more of this game in the coming weeks. including our full fledged review.
