The oft-delayed first installment in Silicon Knights’ Too Human trilogy will arrive on August 19, Microsoft announced today. A European release will follow on August 29.

The action RPG hybrid will feature two player online co-op over Live instead of four player online and offline co-op as initially planned, according to the fact sheet Microsoft sent out today.

It’s too bad, you know. But honestly, if it means we’ll get to play the game this year instead of next, then I can live without four player co-op. The wait for this game has been incredibly long. Nearly ten years in fact, if you count when it was first announced for the PSOne as a five-disc game.
