Will be released in Europe May 20th 2011 according to the official PlayStation Blog. North America has to wait until August 2.
This sequel to the original hit RPG from developer Level-5 known as White Knight Chronicles, directly continues the storyline found in the first game with a single-player campaign promised at over 30 hours.
The game features a completely new, redesigned “dynamic” combat system in which you can create and customize your own attacks and mix up different combos and strategy’s.
More exciting is the fact that the game will include online play for up to six players and features both a cooperative quest and a free-roaming mode where you work as a team with other players.
Gameplane: "Many games can astonish players with creative gameplay or emotional stories. Others are remarkable due to the fun we had with them, while some are simply beautiful. These are nine JRPGs, which made us fall in love with virtual places."
On November 26th Sony Japan will host a livestream on Nico Nico focusing on White Knight Chronicles II.
The livestream will be hosted by Producer Kentaro Motomura and Promoter Yasuhiro Kitao, and will come with an exceptional guest: Level-5 President Akihiro Hino.
I would take a White Knight Collection for the PS4 and a new game from Level 5 in the chute. As long as they keep servers up for awhile. I think they prematurely shut down servers for WKC on PS3. I know everyone is gonna be crying "Dark Cloud", but I'd prefer a new IP... WKC was originally supposed to be a trilogy, so there is no telling.
These games didn't get high ratings but for some reason I always found the series intriguing? And both games sold well. Maybe they'll make a new game in the series with an updated part 1 and 2
I still have my copy of WKC2. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Great though.
White Knight Chronicles was not the best game and got ripped apart by the critics.
Level-5 should make a sequel to the excellent Rogue Galaxy game for PS2. I loved that game!
Digitally Downloaded writes: "There's only a few RPGs left to release on the PS3 now. The majority of development for those scale projects is moving to the PS4... but it is worth noting that quality over quantity and those RPGs left to release on the PS3 include Dark Souls II and Drakengard III.
With that said, I thought we could look back at the PS3 RPGs - both western and Japanese, and which I personally felt were the finest the console could offer. I'm very keen to hear what your thoughts are and which RPGs are your favourite on the console, so be sure to sound out in the comments below!"
Fallout 3 should be on there,it's the game that got me into RPG's. Still play it and always will,Awesome.
There are a nice mix of RPG's to chose from on the PS3. Hopefully, Persona 5 will end up being a game that exceeds expectations and is the best of the bunch.
Persona 4 Golden (Vita) is simply amazing.
August for US. =/
I think I'm gonna import from europe then. Thank god the PS3 is not region locked! =D
I remember that I really wanted the first game but when it came out it was to a spate of poor to average reviews so I never did, if the reviews for the sequel are better then I'll definitely get it
dang i wonder why na has to wait longer, if im ever lacking any games (yea right, too many releases as it is this year already) im gonna import it lol
after playing wkc at a friends house i decided i would get it, but then i heard that level5 was going to revamp the first game and include it with the second so i was waiting for this to release
no money. I will just wait till august.
Hopefully the game is a little bit harder this time around. The first one was way way too easy.
