Namco Bandai Confirms Magna Carta II for North America

Namco Bandai announced at a press event late last month that their latest Xbox 360 RPG, Magna Carta II, will indeed be making the jump to North American 360s this year.

Developed by Korean studio Softmax and published under Namdai's Banpresto label, Magna Carta II is the third game in the Magna Carta series (the original for PC, and Tears of Blood for the PS2, which was later remade for the PSP), and follows a young man named Juto and an exiled princess named Zephy during the outbreak of war.

Though Magna Carta II has yet to receive a solid release date, it is expected to ship sometime in Q3, and therefore assumedly near the Japanese release.

Magna Carta II will be available for Xbox 360 on August 6, 2009 in Japan, and sometime this Summer in North America.
