XSEED Games Releases New Standalone Version of The Last Story
Torrance, Calif., (November 20, in the year of our Lord
2012) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher,
is pleased to celebrate the success of its hit action RPG, The
Last Story, by announcing that it is releasing an all-new
standalone version of the Wii™ exclusive, which started shipping
today to select retailers throughout North America at an MSRP of
$29.99. In addition to this new standalone game package, any
remaining copies of the premium launch units at retailers, which
included a bonus 44-page softcover art book packaged together
with the game in a custom outer box, are now available for
$39.99.
“The Last Story has been an amazing title for XSEED Games and it
has become our most successful title to date,” said Ken Berry,
Executive Vice President at XSEED Games. “This is a must have
title for RPG fans, and we’re looking forward to more players
discovering the magic that lies in Lazulis Island.”
Developed by legendary game creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and his
studio MISTWALKER in conjunction with Nintendo, The Last Story
has enjoyed praise for its brilliance in storytelling, character
interaction, immersive audio and music, cover-based action
combat and mystical setting.
The Last Story centers on a band of mercenaries and follows them
on their journey to gain wealth and notoriety. Throughout the
adventure, players will experience an engaging story with an
emphasis on immersion and environmental interaction. Gameplay is
action-oriented, utilizing a cover system and both ranged and
melee combat, but also includes strategic elements such as a
battle command system which players can use to issue orders to
party members on-the-fly, expertly blending classic turn-based
mechanics with real-time action combat.
The Last Story follows Zael and his band of fellow adventurers
as they begin a journey to Lazulis Island – the only region
prospering as the mainland of the Empire slowly rots away – in
their search for work, opportunity and a better future. After
securing employment with the ruler of the island, Count Arganan,
Zael dreams of finally achieving a secure life as a knight and
putting his unstable mercenary past behind him, but things don’t
exactly go to plan when events during their first mission change
his life forever…
The Last Story was developed by MISTWALKER and Nintendo,
exclusively for Wii. The game is published by XSEED Games and is
available at select retailers across North America. More
