UPDATE: It appears that there is some word after all, but it's not the news that we were hoping for. When contacted, a representative from Namco Bandai US delivered the following ominous statement:

"I can’t speak for any other territories, but I believe Eternal Sonata is only announced for the PS3 in Japan right now.”

How unfortunate. We'll keep you updated if this inane policy of depriving the US of good games changes.

ORIGINAL STORY: Atari has confirmed that it has no new details to disclose regarding the PlayStation 3 version of highly anticipated Role Playing Game, Eternal Sonata.

A spokesperson for the company told Videogaming247, “No news as yet on this. As soon as we have any I’ll let you know.”

The game was announced for the PS3 in September 2007, with early reports indicating that the port would contain all downloadable content released on the Xbox 360 version, in addition to two new playable characters.

A number of screenshots were subsequently released soon after, with industry rumours pointing to a Spring 2008 release. However, nothing on the game has been heard of since, with the official website still bearing the PS3 logo as the only indication that the title is still headed to the Sony platform.

Stay tuned for more information as it breaks.

    I'm probably going to pick this one up, but the longer they take the less likely I'll want to get it.

    As for the updated story, it was only ever announced for Japan. Just like White Knight Story has only been announced for Japan/Asia but everyone would assume it should come over.

    JRPGs are my favorite genre, yet there are 0 of them on the PS3 right now. I'm still waiting...

    It seems there are an European artwork for the game, in videogaming247 a user by the name of gameover has posted a picture of the european version cover artwork. Also says the artwork it's different from the 360 version.
