Update: Since a Mod decided to update the title without the OP, I figured I do a quick update myself. To be blunt, it is just like the title says, the latest issue of confirms Tales of the Abyss for the 3DS is coming out, no date is specified, but late summer is likely if the old info is truly actuate.

New topic for new news!
First, about the title being Stealth Confirmed for North America. I was browsing Amazon to see if the TotA anime had come out in North America yet, and say there was a Manga that popped up in the search. So I decided to take a look at the description when something caught my eye.
(Has some game spoilers in it, just skip to the bolded if you care about those)
Also, since the Manga is already out in Japan, it backs it up the line is talking about the English release.

Also, while on the topic of Tales of the Abyss 3DS, Andriasang is reporting the Japanese release has been delayed though, so the NA release could also come out later then August.

Amazon said:Asch is the lost prince of a country torn asunder by prophecy. Cloned and replaced by a new prince, Asch finds himself amongst the ranks of God-Generals, fighting to destroy the very prophecy for peace that his clone will fulfill. War, magic & science clash, but at their heart stands Asch the Bloody. Tales of the Abyss: Asch the Bloody is a manga adaptation of a story line from the "Tales of the Abyss" video game license. Their property, a video game RPG much like the Final Fantasy franchise, has spun off dozens of successful sub-properties in Japan and the US over the past 2 decades. This manga adaptation from the POV of one of the series most popular characters, is timed for release alongside the US release of the series' anime adaptation. This series premiere will also match that of franchise's RPG title debut on Nintendo 3DS.
