Kizuna lives, supposedly releasing this Spring in Japan

Good news: Japanese RPG Kizuna, which had been rumored to be canned at one point, has not only confirmed to still be in development but also has a planned “Spring 2009″ release date for Japan. Speculation of the game’s possible cancellation began Jaleco Holdings stepped out of the gaming industry and sold off their business to Game Yarou. We now know, however, with a near 100% assurance that the game is still on track. Hopefully the title will be picked up by a publisher such as XSEED to bring the game overseas.
