Imageepoch: Toki to Towa localization “contracts soon”

Latest update from Imageepoch CEO Ryoei Mikage.

Back in May, Imageepoch CEO Ryoei Mikage said he was holding a meeting to decide whether or not its upcoming PlayStation 3 HD animation RPG Toki to Towa would come to North America. He later said they were also “considering” sale in Europe. Today, Mikage provided an update.

Asked on Twitter by a fan for the project to come stateside, he said, “The project is progressing.” Pressed for more by another fan, he added, “It contracts soon. [Localization].”

Namco Bandai owns the Toki to Towa property in Japan, so it is possible he is in talks with Namco Bandai Games America and Europe to bring the game overseas. Another possibility is NIS America, who signed an exclusive contract with the Japanese developer in November 2010 to bring their games overseas.
