As Tales fans in North America already know Namco Bandai has only stated a vague TBA 2011 release date for the Tales of the Abyss 3DS in North America. According to Nintendo Power it appears fans will have to wait somewhat longer as the game's release date has slipped into 2012.

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.

According to the article the game will be released in North America during Q1 2012 which would likely put it around January or February. The European date, November 10, hasn't change as of yet so this might just be relative to North America due to the huge influx of titles releasing this November in the west.
