FolksSoul box art, release date revealed

What you’re looking at is the tentative box-art for FolksSoul, the newest spin-off of the Monster Kingdom universe. For those of you unfamiliar with the Monster Kingdom line of games, the series was developed by Atlus co-founder Cozy Okada and has had several incarnations in the Sony PlayStation Portable. It looks like the franchise is ready to test the next-gen console waters as it slates a June 21 release for its newest baby.

Think of FolksSoul as Fatal Frame meets CSI meets Pokemon. Yeah, it’s a little weird, we know. The game tells the story of Ellen and Keats who receive mysterious letters from supposedly dead people and had their paths cross in a spooky village. It’s now your job to help them investigate why they got the notes from six feet under and what the locale has to do with it.

The early word is that the game is likely to play similar to Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner, which means that players will have the ability to summon creatures through an ID system to aid them in their quest. This, of course, is still speculative as the only thing the Japanese have revealed so far is the complete title, which is FolksSoul: Ushinawareta Denshou. On a side note, Play-Asia has a different release date for the game – June 7.
