Renowned Japanese
video game company LEVEL-5, best known for their
critically acclaimed Professor Layton video game series and the
upcoming game Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, is
bringing three of the studio’s most popular Japanese-only
releases to Europe this autumn via the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo
3DS™.
The three titles – LIBERATION MAIDEN, AERO
PORTER and CRIMSON SHROUD – were previously
released only in Japan as part of GUILD01, a multi-game pack
featuring works by some of the industry’s most respected game
creators.
“LEVEL-5 is dedicated to
empowering the world’s best game designers with the freedom to
create the innovative games they truly want to make featuring the
immersive stories they want to tell, and these three games are
great examples of that strategy,” said Akihiro Hino, President
and CEO of LEVEL-5. “We are extremely
proud to bring SUDA51’s LIBERATION MAIDEN to North America and
Europe as the first release from the series, offering true game
design and production values of the highest quality through a

AERO PORTER COMING TO EUROPE IN NOVEMBER
AND
CRIMSON SHROUD IN DECEMBER 2012
|
LEVEL-5 will release two additional
games for download via the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS this
year: AERO PORTER and CRIMSON SHROUD.
AERO
PORTER combines puzzle elements with a simulation of airport
operations. Designed by Seaman creator Yoot Saito, the player
sorts color-coded luggage onto conveyor belts while avoiding
mishaps and delays. Players are also able to design and
share their own planes with a wide range of colors and
patterns.
CRIMSON SHROUD was created by game
designer, Yasumi Matsuno, whose previous works include industry
cornerstones such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant
Story, and Tactics Ogre.
CRIMSON SHROUD is a
new RPG that reimagines the table top RPG, and puts the power of
the dice in the player’s hands to determine their
fate.
Additional details about AERO
PORTER and CRIMSON SHROUD will be released at
a later date. For more information about LEVEL-5 and each of
