The RPG fans in Japan are already playing a great title from Atlus, called Poison Pink. In fact, the game was so successful in Asia that the developers have decided to give it a shot and release the title in the US, too. However, they wanted to change the name a little bit, to make it fit for the western markets and that's how Eternal Poison was born.

The game, a PlayStation 2 exclusive, will bring a special, red-carpet treatment to buyers, since every single copy will have two discs - the game and a soundtrack CD. However, the game will be released no sooner than the 11th of November this year and it will be retailed for $39.99.

Eternal Poison comes with a really interesting story: a demonic realm appeared out of nowhere and turned the entire world into chaos - all sorts of strange creatures were born, but the toughest of them all were the Majin, which managed to capture the only living princess - Princess of Valdia and imprison her in their lair.

Taking advantage of this, lots of brave adventurers have set out to explore the Majin lair - some wanting to rescue the princess, some seeking fame and glory and others willing to find the Eternal Poison, a legendary treasure able to make a person's deepest desires come to life. Your quest will be to follow the paths of these adventurers and discover a true world of romance, heroism, madness, despair, and betrayal... And if all these sound really great, you should know that they indeed are.

Eternal Poison comes with five stories in one: you can follow the paths of five different parties as they go deeper and deeper into the Majin's lair, with a branching storyline and lots of decisions to be made - all of them influencing the outcome of each tale. Another really new feature is the fact that you can opt for killing or binding the demons you fight against (including bosses) and if you choose to bind them, you'll be able to later summon them to fight by your side or sacrifice them for money or spells.
