Namco Bandai is doing the countdown shuffle. According to a mysterious new site, the company will be making a "major announcement" in seven days.

The page is titled "Next RPG Project K," so this is presumably a new RPG. The URL for the page contains the phrase "GO_TO_K_66" in it. That's just a bit more mysterious.

Seven days from today means a Thursday reveal, which usually means Famitsu leaks one or two days in advance and, often, a Jump leak the weekend prior.

When did you become so predictable, Japanese game announcement cycle?

As noted at various Japanese game blogs, there are a few hints out there that this could be a new DS Tales game. A banner for the mystery site appears at the Tales Channel portal. More solidly, a link to the site on the Namco Bandai front page contains a DS icon.
