Last week we brought word that Namco Bandai would be bringing Tales of the Abyss for the Nintendo 3DS to North America, but with no word on an European release. Early reports from the latest issue of NGamer Magazine indicate that Europe will be getting the game as well.

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.

A post from one of NGamer's staff members, Matthew, indicates that the game has a Spring 2012 release window. Unconfirmed reports indicate a Fall 2011 release date in North America, so it's not too long of a release gap for Europe with all things considered.

Namco Bandai's North American branch is set to announce something cool this week, so we might get more information on the release date then, along with possibly some information about Tales of Graces f.
