Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom inches out the door this year

I briefly saw Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom at this year's Tokyo Game Show. The rated CERO D action RPG didn’t look half bad. If only I had the time to play it. Since the game was announced last year Blueside has been rather quiet about the project. That’s about to change though because Microsoft is publishing Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom in Japan on December 13, 2007, squeaking out a week after Lost Odyssey. The major selling point for the title is it has co-op play for up to four players on Xbox Live. I’m imagining something like high resolution Gauntlet here. I hope Blueside doesn’t burst my bubble.
