The latest DS entry in the Summon Night series, Summon Night: Twin Age is going to be translated, localized and released in the US by Atlus. The action rpg, whose popularity in Japan has spawned an animated series and a series of books, is the third entry in the series to be released stateside. Previously Summon Night: Swordcraft Story and Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2 were released on the GBA, however both were released after the GBA’s popularity began to wane, so unfortunately the two captivating games never received much attention. Hopefully Summon Night: Twin Age will find the audience it deserves on the DS.

There isn’t a set date for release yet, but Japanese magazines, Famitsu among them, are reporting on the story and providing screen shots.
