After almost a year’s silence, Level 5 has finally decided to spill a bean or two on the subject of White Knight Chronicles, a sumptuous RPG exclusive for PlayStation 3. Welcome news for PS3 lovers indeed, in light of Final Fantasy XIII’s recently announced multiplatform status.
According to PS3hyper.com, Level 5 and Sony Computer Entertainment have updated their game page with the tantalising words "The day of awakening is coming soon." It’s possible White Knight Chronicles will put in an appearance at the Tokyo Games Show 2008 on October 9-12, or else in the hallowed pages of Famitsu Magazine.
The game is set in a medieval fantasy world and features a gorgeous-looking real-time battle system, with the emphasis on tactical micromanagement, combos and blocking. The main character can also transform into the titular White Knight to lay the smackdown on skyscraper-sized opponents.
White Knight Chronicles is slated for release sometime before April 2009.
