News: It'll be out in 2010 after all.

Nintendo unveiled their Fall release calendar two weeks ago and many gamers were dismayed to see that Golden Sun: Dark Dawn wasn't listed. Naturally, this lead many fans to presume it had been delayed into 2011. Today, Nintendo has assured DS RPG players that this isn't the case as the publisher announced a November 29 release date for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Offering a planet-sized world of adventure to explore and conquer, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn puts the raw power of the elements in players' hands. Each of the game's playable characters is capable of carrying Djinn, spirits that imbue their owner with unique and powerful abilities. Players can collect more than 70 unique Djinn, granting them the ability to summon mighty deities who unleash devastating attacks that fill both Nintendo DS screens. Djinn powers can also be used to navigate puzzling dungeons and overworld environments that will have players flinging fireballs to burn away obstacles, freezing water to raise platforms, or summoning whirlwinds to create bridges out of floating objects.

Dark Dawn takes place 30 after the events of Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, both of which were released for the Game Boy Advance. As its the first Golden Sun game on the DS, Dark Dawn introduces a new generation of heroes that are struggling to survive in a radically changed world. What they think will be a simple journey to rescue a lost friend turns into a dramatic quest to save the land from catastrophe as players are drawn into a world full of magical energy. That's always the case with these RPG adventures isn't it?

We'll have more soon.
