VanillaWare’s Grand Knights History, launched September last year in Japan, will not arrive in North America as initially planned, XSEED Games has said in a statement.

“XSEED Games has confirmed it will not publish Grand Knights History in North America as previously announced,” said the publisher. “Unfortunately, it was determined that development resources required to localize the game were not available, necessitating its cancellation. We regret not being able to bring the game to our fans, but we are committed to our 2012 lineup and look forward to sharing more on these games in the coming weeks and months.”

Grand Knights History was announced for release in Europe by Rising Star Games. We can only presume that a lack of “development resources” means cancellation in European territories, as well.
