Atlus announces that they will be bringing the strategy RPG Yggdra Union to the US this fall.

Fans of last year's original RPG Riviera: The Promised Land will be elated with Atlus' latest announcement. In a press release, the company confirmed its intention to release Yggdra Union (a strategy RPG from the same team that created Riviera) in the States this fall. From the press release:

Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that Yggdra Union, a strategy role-playing game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2006.

"Riviera: The Promised Land was one of last year's best-selling handheld RPGs, and we expect Yggdra Union to build on that success," said Sammy Matsushima, Project Lead for Atlus U.S.A., Inc. "The developers at STING amaze us with their ability to deliver character design and compelling gameplay that rival the quality of RPGs for home consoles, let alone other portable games."

More information on the game can be found in the announcement and the Japanese developer of the game has a gameplay video available here.
