Ignition Grabs Arc Rise Fantasia From Xseed

One a year ago, Marvelous and Xseed announced Arc Rise Fantasia for North America under their co-publishing partnership. That deal must have changed since Ignition Entertainment is now bringing Arc Rise Fantasia to North America.

"Ignition Entertainment has a great track record with bringing established Japanese experiences to new western audiences and we’re delighted to be able to team up with them to publish Arc Rise Fantasia," Hiroyuki Kanemaru from Imageepoch, said about the new publishing agreement.

Earlier this year, Marvelous’ hotly anticipated title, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, also changed hands from Xseed to Ignition.

Arc Rise Fantasia has been rescheduled for a summer 2010 release. In case you missed it, here’s what Ryoei Mikage, President of Imageepoch, had to say about Arc Rise Fantasia’s story.
