Famitsu.com has broken the news on a new entry in Taito's Estpolis series. If the name doesn't ring a bell, the series was released outside Japan as "Lufia". The new game will be called Estpolis: The Land Cursed by the Gods and will be produced by the original game's development staff. Square Enix will be handling publishing duties.

The Famitsu piece didn't reveal any details -- not even target platforms -- but given the series' strong ties to Nintendo hardware a release on the Big N's consoles are a good possibility. Well, there was that one PSOne game but that got canceled...

We'll find out more in the next Famitsu issue due out next week. That one will reportedly feature a full unveiling of the game.

On a side note, I'm happy Square Enix didn't go the countdown route for this one. I'm seriously sick of those.
