Level-5 has been keeping quiet about another one of its 3DS titles, Fantasy Life, that’s been in the works for quite a long time. But the game has finally resurfaced in the latest issue of Famitsu, which confirms a 2012 launch for the game.

Brownie Brown is handling development. Level-5 is involved with planning and some development, Nobuo Uematsu is providing the title’s music, and Yoshitaka Amano is creating illustrations.

Local play is supported, as are SpotPass and StreetPass.

A release date will apparently be announced in next week’s issue.


Steel Disaster releases for DSiWare on August 9 for $7.99/800 points.
