Atlus is localizing FuRyu’s The Legend of Legacy for 3DS, if Atlus U.S.A. PR manager John Hardin is anyone to go by.

Hardin seems to have let it slip on the latest Shin Megami Tensei Social Link podcast. Around the 47-minute mark, he says:

“That’s not to say we’re not looking beyond not-not just Aquaplus and Spike Chun, and everything. I hope we see a lot more Japanese games come over here. Actually, we did announce The Legend of Legacy is coming over here, and we have another one in the can, too, that I can’t talk about yet, ha ha ha ha. But another really niche Japanese game that actually isn’t even out yet—we’re bringing it over for the 3DS later this year. What could it be?”

To clarify, no, Atlus has not announced The Legend of Legacy for localization. It did, however, announce Stella Glow, another 3DS title. Stella Glow is not out yet in Japan, so we think he might have confused The Legend of Legacy and Stella Glow, thinking the former was announced and the latter was not.

We’ve mailed Atlus for comment.

Thanks, NeoGAF.
