Forums - Sony - EU Blog: White Knight Chronicles II + PSP Coming Over

EU PS Blog

Some great news today for all you RPG fans.

Developer LEVEL-5 Inc. returns with White Knight Chronicles II for PS3, continuing the epic story of Leonard with a brand new 30 hour single player campaign. Featuring a fully redesigned, dynamic new combat system, you can create and customise your own exciting attack strategies and combos. With online play for up to 6 players, you can choose to tackle co-op quests or free-roam the game world as a team, plus the Georama feature returns allowing you to build your own customisable town online. White Knight Chronicles II will also support easy play chat (via keyboard) and voice chat.

White Knight Chronicles is also coming to PSP for the very first time! From renowned handheld RPG developer Matrix Corp., White Knight Chronicles: Origins is a brand new story to the series set 10,000 years before the events of the original PS3 game. With a 30 hour single player campaign and online play for up to 4 friends, White Knight Chronicles: Origins has plenty to keep you going on the move. You’ll also be able to trade quests and avatars with your friends.

Supposedly they're coming in May, but the neogaf thread I read about this didn't include that in any of its quotes, and the EU Blog keeps giving me 400 errors, so I can't check for myself.

I'll definitely be picking up WKC2, but I guess I'll be waiting on WKC PSP.

Edit:

Seems it was posted as a reply to a comment:

Both games will be released in May this year so not long to wait.

We’ll confirm an exact release date at a later stage.

And yes, WKC: Origins will be available at both retail and via PSN.

Awesome. I recently got WKC and it's a pretty good game IMO, will be on the lookout for these two.

Ugh why so early?  I still have a lot of games to plow through before this.

Accept the fact that you'll never quite clear that backlog like I did, and be forever in debt and with games to pull you through the rough seasons :P

So, to whip out the list:

LittleBigPlanet 2 - January
Killzone 3 - February
MLB: The Show - March in North America
MotorStorm: Apocalypse - March Europe, April North America
Socom 4 - April
White Knight Chronicles 2 - May
Infamous 2 - June

Resistance 3 - September

Uncharted 3 - November

One game a month for the first half of the year, with two in April for North America.

Now we just need dates for Ratchet & Clank, Twisted Metal, the Team ICO Collection, and the Last Guardian.   And there's Move stuff like Move Heroes or Sorcery (both of which look kinda crappy imo).

Early in this generation the argument was that Sony needed more exclusives. Well I guess it is not possible to complain about lack of exclusives coming out of Sony these days :)
