Square Enix Announces Blood of Bahamut

These damn flash countdown timers. They're never worth the emotional investment. Even though the bahamut.jp site is still counting down to sometime next week, Jump has gone and spoiled the party with the scoop on the mysterious game, which is indeed the rumored Blood of Bahamut.

The article gives us very little information, but it has been revealed that the DS title is not a remake of Bahamut Lagoon (though it may be connected somehow), and will put a gameplay emphasis on wireless multiplayer.

Blood of Bahamut's protagonist is a young man named Ibuki, and with his childhood friend (and, of course, inevitable love interst) Yui, stand to defend their hometown which lies on the back of an enormous sleeping monster called a Gigant when it awakens for some reason.

Currently, Blood of Bahamut has no confirmed release date.
