This information comes from Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham…
“I just sent off some Mutant Mudd assets to a magazine for the reveal. The issue hits newsstands the first day of E3. Am I excited? Yes!”
Well, this is pretty exciting! We now know with 100% certainty that Mutant Mudds is back. We just have to wait roughly one month to find out what Renegade Kid is doing with the project.
Namco Bandai is being very supportive of the “Tales of” series as of late. The company announced a North American release of Graces a few weeks ago (the Wii version’s fate is unknown currently), and now there’s another reason to be happy: Tales of the Abyss 3DS is coming to the states. Nintendo Power confirmed the news in their May 2011 issue. We’ll have details from the magazine soon.
