Fragile – Coming to America

After many finally recovered from news that “Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon” would not be coming to North American shores, that sadness can now turn to joy.  According to a recent article at IGN, Xseed Games plans to bring the title stateside winter 2009 with full English voice-acting (and an option to keep the Japanese with English subtitles).  Here’s a section of the interview with IGN:

May 28, 2009 – Earlier this year, Namco Bandai shipped the acclaimed adventure game Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon in Japan and American players eagerly awaited news of a local release, which sadly never came. When contacted, Namco Bandai representatives explained that the company had no plans to publish the title, set to the backdrop of an atmospheric post-apocalyptic world, in the U.S.

Thankfully, though, Xseed Games does. IGN is able to exclusively reveal to its readers today that Xseed has secured the North American publishing rights to Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. The tri-Crescendo-developed project will ship stateside for Wii this winter, according to the company.
