Anyway, while I believe it is true that Sony owns the rights to the Dark Cloud name, that only makes it less likely that we'll see a DC3 - on the PS3, anyway. Level-5 is far more likely to announce DS or Wii games.

 

Definitely not out of the question to assume a new PS3 project will be announced. L5 is finishing up work on WKC so they're bound to be working on other things, and they have a fantastic relationship with Sony so why wouldn't they continue working with them now, as opposed to moving to the Wii/DS? Safe to say we'll hear about at least one project for the PS3.

 

I'll answer your question with a question: How many PS3-exclusive announcements have we heard from Japanese companies in the last year? The last year and a half?

WKC itself is a holdover from E3 2006, when everyone still assumed that the PS3 would beat the newly-named Wii's arse to the Mushroom Kingdom and back. Now that the PS3 is dead in the water in Japan, and being thrashed by the Wii everywhere else, why would Level-5 announce an exclusive project for it, especially when the far-more-lucrative DS and much-higher-selling Wii are available to develop on?
