Midway to publish Shadow Hearts in North America

[09.08.01] » Sacnoth's gothic RPG to appear in English by March 2002.

   In its annual fiscal report, Midway announced a slew of new titles, including a translation of Sacnoth's PlayStation 2 RPG Shadow Hearts. The title is currently slated for release in North America in March of 2002, though Midway states there's a chance the game could ship before then.

   Midway had already been previously heavily rumored to be translating Shadow Hearts, though several others publishers had also reportedly been contending for North American publishing rights.
