Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls - Coming to US

Brian sends word that the Japanese title Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls will be coming to the US on PS3 via XSEED. Apparently the gameplay is quite true to the original series (although the art style is different):

Those lovable importers of obscure or niche Japanese games, XSEED, are at it again. Today they have announced that they will be bringing the latest installment in the classic dungeon-crawl series Wizardry to PlayStation 3 fans in North America and Europe. While the series has been going strong in Japan, this is the first title to be released in the US in ten years.

This is classic, first-person dungeon crawl stuff and the series is responsible for some significant innovations in role-playing games. It's also a series which has stayed very true to its roots. If you like menus with options to select from, you're going to love playing Wizardry. Dale North will be all over this when it releases, no doubt.
