‘Fragile’ llegará a Europa de mano de Rising Star

Finalmente, Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon llegará a tierras españolas. El RPG de tri-Crescendo será distribuido por Rising Star Games en Europa, lo que son sin duda unas muy buenas noticias para los que esperan JRPG en Wii. Eso si, no todo es perfecto, y Rising Star Games ha confirmado que el juego no llegará antes de Primavera del 2010 (recordemos que el juego ya está disponible en Japón y este invierno aterrizará en Estados Unidos).

En el juego tomaremos el papel de Seto. En un mundo triste, oscuro y arruinado, nuestro joven protagonista viaja con su linterna para buscar supervivientes como él, para afrontar juntos una nueva etapa de oscuridad en el mundo. Lo interesante del título es que la linterna que llevamos, con la que intentamos discernir un poco de esperanza entre tanta niebla y oscuridad, se manejará con el Wiimote dándole más profundidad del título. Sin olvidar los típicos elementos de todo buen RPG.

Habrá que esperar pues  hasta 2010 para poder disfrutar de este título posapocalíptico. Después del salto la nota de prensa que confirma el lanzamiento:

RISING STAR GAMES ANNOUNCES FRAGILE FOR EUROPE

Rising Star Games Confirms Release of Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon in PAL Territories

29th June 2009 – Rising Star Games is pleased to confirm securing the publishing rights for the much anticipated fantasy adventure title. Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon developed by Tri Crescendo, the team responsible for Baten Kaitos and, more recently, Eternal Sonata exclusively for Wii™. Fragile is scheduled for a Q1 2010 release in the PAL territories.

“Fragile has a great team of creative designers who in turn have brought to life a beautiful art style that pushes the limits of the Wii console without compromising on gaming quality” stated Tyrone Walcott product manager at Rising Star Games. “This announcement will delight European gamers and the Otaku community. Rising Star Games has again shown its commitment to bring the best games from Japan.”
For members of Rising Star Games exclusive Hoshi Club, this information was released exclusively 72 hours earlier. “We’re incredibly excited about bringing Fragile to the PAL territories. There’s been a massive upsurge of interest for this title since being showcased in Famitsu (Japan)” explained Simon Alty, Rising Star Games’ Head of Brand. “The feedback from fans in our forums was that this was a title they wanted us to champion and we are very excited to respond to that ‘fan power’ with this announcement.”

Fragile takes place in the near future, in a world that has lost its population. You play as Seto, a young boy searching through the abandoned cities and facilities of this world, trying to learn the truth behind the disappearance of all the people, and to find someone to keep him company. In addition to exploration, Seto has to deal with ghosts who appear in the ruins.
Players will be able to explore a dark and abandoned world with the aid of their Wii Remote™ that functions as a flashlight and as a proximity sensor to hunt down invisible ghosts. The cinematic presentation, joined with an emotional soundtrack, bring the tale of a lonely and lost individual to life as players encounter memorable characters and discover the back story behind scavenged objects that provide insight on people’s last days before the apocalypse.
