Aksys Games announced today that it will release From the Abyss, an action RPG for the Nintendo DS, in North America in the fourth quarter of 2008. Developed by Sonic Powered, From the Abyss offers randomly generated worlds to explore, character customization options that affect a player's "powers and destiny," and a two-player wireless co-op mode.

"From the Abyss can be enjoyed by people who are new to the action RPG genre but challenging enough for experienced players alike," said Nobara Ogawa, project lead at Aksys. "Regardless of your skill level, you?ll find yourself enthralled in the abyss."
