Damn you, Atlus! I want to expand as a gamer, try new things, use my next-gen systems that I paid obscene amounts of money for, but you are keeping me firmly rooted to my PS2 probably well into 2009. In addition to PS2-exclusive title Persona 4 hitting U.S. shores this December, Atlus has just announced a localization of Eternal Poison (formerly known as Poison Pink) to be released on November 11. Eternal Poison is described in the press release as a tactics game that takes place in a world of chaos.

The press release lists some of the special features as being “five stories in one” and a “gorgeous dark fantasy world… as rich in beauty as it is in corruption.” I’m sold. If you’re not quite convinced, maybe these screen shots and the full press release will do something to change your mind.

About Eternal Poison
Our world descended into chaos the day the demonic realm of Besek appeared. Creatures known as the Majin emerged, wreaking havoc and destroying our way of life. They captured the Princess of Valdia and imprisoned her in their lair. Now, brave adventurers throughout the land have set out to explore the Majin homeland. Some wish to rescue the princess; some seek fame and glory; some merely want revenge. However, there are those who look to harness the Majin's dark powers, for it is rumored that deep within Besek lies the Eternal Poison, a legendary treasure able to make your deepest desires come true. Travel the paths of some of these adventurers, and as their tales unfold, you will discover the true meanings of romance, heroism, madness, despair, and betrayal...

Key Features

• Five stories in one—Walk the winding paths of five different parties as they journey deeper into hostile lands. With branching paths and optional encounters, you must chart each course carefully, for your choices will have a direct impact on the outcome of each tale.

• Capture and collect demons—All demons can be exploited - even bosses - so every battle offers the intriguing choice of binding or killing your foes. Bound demons can be summoned to fight at your side or be sacrificed for money or new spells.

• Gorgeous dark fantasy world—Step into a twisted fairytale world of demons, black magic, and a quest for the ultimate treasure. The kidnapping of the Princess and the temptation of finding the Eternal Poison have drawn your heroes into a world full of dangerous traps, fiendish monsters, and unexpected villains. Discover a world that is as rich in beauty as it is in corruption.
