Irvine, CA, October 30, 2003 – Atlus
U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of console RPG’s, announced today its plans to
publish the sequel to the multiplayer action role-playing game "Shining Soul"
for the Game Boy® Advance in the spring of 2004.
Story:
Long ago, the warriors of Light
defeated Darkness, but in time, the story became just an old legend. For many
years, the world was at peace, but eventually, disaster slowly drew near. Thick,
mysterious clouds formed overhead, blocking out the sun, but not releasing a
drop of rain. The people were tormented by drought for years. Then, monsters
began to appear, and people’s hearts filled with despair. King Marcel, the ruler
of Klantol, feared for his people’s welfare. And so, he announced a grand
tournament at the colosseum to find a mighty hero that could protect the country
and vanquish the wandering monsters. "…Heroes who have inherited the power of
Light, save this world from being engulfed in Darkness!"
"If you thought the original
‘Shining Soul’ was a blast, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! ‘Shining Soul II’ uses

friends, this game is one adventure you won’t want to miss!!"
