Although it has been available for almost a year now, From Software will be re-releasing Enchanted Arms for the PS3 early next year. Why wait for a year-old game on the PS3? Well, because it features “large scale” improvements.

According to From Software, the game has undergone a graphical overhaul during the past year - textures are now far sharper, bridging the gap between the game’s graphics and the movie scenes. The story will also receive several new chapters, including a large number of conversational scenes being changed into full demo scenes. There are also multiple character poses and new modeling data to further enhance the characters’ performances.

That’s not all: the game will also see its battle system improved and a large number of new golems have been added. The theme music is also being recreated by a performer called “mink”; background music is also being redone.

Enchanted Arms will hit the PS3 in Japan on January 25. No North American or European release dates have been mentioned.

A teaser site has been launched for the PS3 version of Enchant Arm (Enchanted Arms in North America and Europe), revealing the Xbox 360-exclusive’s presence on the rival console. The site is in Japanese, indicating that it may only see release in the region, although it hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Proving itself to have good taste, Ubisoft has announced that it will publish Enchanted Arms for the Xbox 360 in Europe. Developed by FromSoftware in Japan, it is the first Japanese RPG for next-generation consoles.

In Enchanted Arms™, players will embark on an epic adventure filled with unique characters and over 75 special controllable creatures that players can unlock as they progress throughout the game. Players will take on the role of Atsuma, an Enchanter-in-training, and will transform from a naïve student to the most powerful saviour in a war 1,000 years in the making. As the story develops, players face increasingly difficult challenges and learn to master Atsuma’s special fighting and magical abilities.

This Summer is the time to look forward to if you want to be Enchanted.
