Atlus has confirmed today that its Nintendo DS strategy RPG, and the latest in the long-running Summon Night series, subtitled Twin Age, will arrive in North America on May 20. Head inside for details and the first US screenshots.

Summon Night: Twin Age follows the story of a human girl named Reiha, someone who discovered her brilliant knack for the magical art of Summoning at a very early age. However, her special powers got the better of her at one time and it was feared that she had died as the result of an accident. Thankfully, she survived, along with a young Summon Beast named Aldo that had been pulled into her world.

Following the accident, the two children grew up together as brother and sister on the tropical island of Jarazi, among a race of people with beast-like features. There they learned to commune with the Nature Spirits that surrounded them. One day, the Spirits began acting strangely, prompting Reiha and Aldo to investigate. Their quest to find out who or what is behind the corruption of the Spirits will lead them back to the human lands where the cataclysm first brought them together…
