Published by Namco Bandai Games and distributed in Europe by Atari, Saint Seiya: The Hades is available from today at retailers across Europe, ahead of the Japanese launch.
Saint Seiya: The Hades delivers an authentic anime fighting experience drawn directly from the masterful and widely revered Japanese manga and anime of the same name, the most greatly admired chapter of the legendary Saint Seiya saga.
