Final Fantasy Tactics A2 - UK release date announced

First DS Tactics game squares up to competition this summer

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 - UK release date announced

We awarded Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions a 'perfect' 10 when it was released on PSP last year. Which means we've been eagerly awaiting the DS Final Fantasy Tactics game, Grimoire of the Rift, ever since it was announced by publisher Square Enix.

And now we've had word our wait is nearly over, courtesy of an announcement from Square confirming the game will be released across PAL territories on June 27th, just days after the US release date of June 24th.

"To our fans' delight, fun strategy gameplay and an engaging story come together in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift," said John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix, while levelling up. "Nintendo DS users will be able to enjoy a tactical and epic adventure while exploring the world of Ivalice. This is a deep and absorbing title that I hope everyone will find time to enjoy this summer."

We hope we have time too, John. If we don't we'll be sure to make it by giving up something unimportant. Like showering, sleeping or visiting our parents.

Check back towards the latter half of June for our review of the game.
