New Growlanser III Details Released
Growlanser III

Hot off the release of Growlanser II in Japan, comes new information about the next chapter in the Growlanser series. Titled Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness, this new dramatic RPG from series creator Carrier Software will take place in the land of Kishironia 1000 years prior to the events of the first game. An accident has caused the sun to weaken, producing less light for the world. Crops have begun to dwindle due to lack of sunlight and the population is beginning to starve. Only an amnesiac hero and his partner Annette, the young daughter of the Kishironia Federation's chairman, can hope to save the world.

As in the previous Growlanser games, Growlanser III returns to the Real-Time Mission Clear (RMC) system in which the amount of time one clears the battles will affect the game's later events. Armor and weapons gain special abilities through the equipping of different rings; by combining these rings and other "spirit stones" players can create new original abilities for their characters. New in Growlanser III is the addition of a randomly generated dungeon system in which monsters are visible on the screen and can therefore be avoided, much as in the Evolution series for Dreamcast.

Growlanser III is due out in Japan sometime this winter with no word on a North American release expected anytime soon.
