Last month, we brought word that Tales of the Abyss for the Nintendo 3DS was delayed due to uncertain circumstances likely stemming from the recent earthquakes and tsunamis that affected the region. Namco Bandai has finally revealed the new release date for the title, and it's not too far off from the original 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.

The game will now be released on June 30, just over a month shy of the original May 19 release date. Even though some possible leaks have surfaced as of late, Namco Bandai hasn't officially announced any localization plans for the title.
