Shin Megami Tensei IV will not be launching in Europe this month as originally expected. Atlus PR manager John Hardin confirmed on Twitter that the game is now scheduled for October.

Why the delay? Atlus “encountered a few last-minute issues specific to the EU version, and we have to fix them,” Hardin explained.

Hardin’s Twitter message also contained an apology to European fans who have been waiting for Shin Megami Tensei IV.

Read on below for Hardin’s full note:

A big announcement from Capcom is being teased for the next issue of Famitsu. The magazine will have a 32-page special preview, which will include the reveal of Capcom’s project.

We could hear about the new game as early as Tuesday. Famitsu may share the news on its website ahead of the magazine’s release in a brief post, though leaks will definitely occur with more information during the day as well.

Separately from the Capcom news, we’re hearing that a 100-page Smash Bros. 3DS supplement feature and a Bandai Namco TGS feature will be in next week’s Famitsu.

Further comments have emerged regarding the potential localization of Dragon Quest VII for 3DS.

In an interview with USgamer, Square Enix’s Yuu Miyake revealed that the company had given up on the idea at one point. However, based on interest from fans, Square Enix is now “trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible.”

Miyake said:

This petition came from France, written in Japanese, asking, ‘Is there any way you would consider it?’ We hear the fans, and we’re paying attention. We had actually given up on the idea of localization altogether, but because there’s such a great response we’re trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible. We’re recalculating, and figuring out the costs necessary. Trying to work out the details.

Today Sakurai talks a little bit about All-Star mode for the 3DS, which looks like it will be a little bit more dynamic than in previous entries:


He continues:

In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!
