NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe has today announced the launch date for the debut of the acclaimed Tales of series on Nintendo 3DS, with Tales of the Abyss scheduled for release on the 25th November, 2011.

Tales of the Abyss for Nintendo 3DS is based on the critically-acclaimed PlayStation 2 role-playing game of the same name. Delivering 3D support and use of the dual screens, Tales of the Abyss offers a new gameplay experience and brings players closer to the action. Tales of the Abyss tells the story of Luke fon Fabre, sole heir to a family of aristocrats, as he is suddenly thrust into the outside world and forced to embark on an epic adventure. Naive and spoiled by years of isolation, Luke struggles to learn the importance of friendship, sacrifice, duty and his own choices. With the fate of many in his hands, Luke's actions could ultimately save the world or bring about its very destruction.
