Anaheim, California-based Nippon Ichi Software subsidiary NIS America has confirmed its plans to bring Atelier Iris ~Eternal Mana~ to North America. The PlayStation 2 title will be the first installment in Gust's long-running series to make its way across the Pacific. Whils the news came last month, the company has now confirmed that the title has passed SCEA's approval process, so there's no longer a question of whether or not it will see a release.

Atelier Iris ~Eternal Mana~ will be released in the US sometime next year. In the meantime, you can check out Ryan's informative review of the game's Japanese version, as well as our gallery by following the links provided below.
