Atlus
Spoils The Dark Spire for Nintendo DS

Each and every launch copy of the
game now a premium boxed release

Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today continued
its Atlus Spoils fan appreciation program with the news that The Dark Spire, an
upcoming RPG of exploration and character development for Nintendo DS, will be a
premium boxed release, with each and every copy of the game’s initial launch run
including a soundtrack CD featuring 24 tracks of music from the game. Brooding
yet lively, The Dark Spire’s score, laden with synth and sharp chords,
complements the game’s foreboding style perfectly. Songs from both the
contemporary and retro modes are included on the bonus disc.

"Our census data indicates that
given the choice between only a game, and a better-packaged game with a free
bonus soundtrack, a significant number of our fans seem to prefer getting free
extras," analyzed Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales. "We don’t
want to rush to any conclusions here, but it seems possible that people enjoy
free bonus things along with their games. Hopefully, we’re actually reading the
data correctly this time, unlike that study on whether or not our fans enjoyed
bonus live scorpions with their games. We really blew it on that one, and we
apologize to those affected."

Parties will be assembled; stats
will be rolled; items, weapons and armor shall be equipped, and monsters will be
slain. The powerful Archmage Tyrhung resides in a tower of mist and shadow. He
holds in his possession a jewel of great worth and power. A group of adventurers
assemble. Will they be able to conquer Tyrhung and his nefarious tower? The
party sets out, its fate yet to be determined…

The Dark Spire is scheduled for
release on April 14, 2009 with an MSRP of $29.99.
