Marvelous, a Japanese company, has announced a new RPG slated for release on the Nintendo DS entitled Avalon Code. This cute RPG, with graphics that could rival those of the recent Square-Enix DS remakes of Final Fantasy III and IV, is currently around 75% complete.

In this game, the player has a choice of which lead character they want to take - either a male or a female. The male protagonist is named Yumiru, while the female is named Tia. The story itself revolves around said characters in a dying world who has been given the task of collecting information to put into a book of prophecies. This book, apparently, has some special powers that gives the owner of it an immense amount of powers, making them almost “god-like.” By using this book, one can essentially rewrite history, changing many aspects of the world.

Not much is known about this game, which is pretty obvious, but a small amount of information about battles is given. Battles will take place on the top DS screen while the book of prophecies will display on the bottom. This book, no doubt, will be controllable by the stylus and the player will be able to use its powers in battle.

At the moment, Avalon Code is schedules for release in Japan late this year. No US release date has been announced currently.
