Following yesterday's announcement of the European release date for Tales of the Abyss on the Nintendo 3DS the company's North America branch has just announced their release date.
Tales of the Abyss was originally released on the PS2 on December 15, 2005 and was localized in North America on October 10, 2006. The game was regarded as an improvement over Tales of Symphonia, extending that game's multi-line battle system into a battle system which allows players to freely move about the field in battle.
Namco Bandai's North American branch will be releasing Tales of the Abyss for the Nintendo 3DS on February 14, 2012. This will mark the first time Europe has received a worldwide Tales release first.
Namco Bandai has announced that Tales of the Abyss 3DS will be releasing on the 25th of November, 2011 in Europe.
Tales of the Abyss originally released on the PlayStation 2, but Namco Bandai decided that the Nintendo 3DS would be the perfect place for European gamers to experience the acclaimed tale of Luke fon Fabre. It will make use of the console's dual screens, while also offering 3D support.
This is great news for Tales fans in Europe who have been wanting to get their hands on Tales products in recent years and get a chance to play Tales of the Abyss for the first time in that territory. It doesn't stop there though, as Tales of Graces f is also planned for a release on the PlayStation 3 next year.

It's been a while since we last heard news about Tales of Graces f and Tales of the Abyss 3DS's North American releases with the last major news coming out of this year's Comic-Con event. It appears that we might be getting more news from the publisher later this month in just a few weeks, however, according to new previews popping up around the Internet.
Thanks to websites such as Examiner.com it appears that Namco Bandai will be announcing more information about the titles "within the next couple weeks". There wasn't any mention by the publisher as to exactly what information would be made available but we'll likely get the finalized release date for Tales of the Abyss 3DS and some new trailers at the very least.
