"After being available in Japan for a little over a year, Level-5's gorgeous RPG White Knight Chronicles will be released on the PlayStation 3 this week. It will be joined by two big PC releases, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and Star Trek Online."
White Knight Chronicles is coming to Home when it releases with intergrated trophy and home support. LBP costume & Sticker pack will release on Feb. 25th.
"From the developers of the critically acclaimed Dark Cloud series and Rogue Galaxy, Level-5 delivers a Role-Playing Game (RPG) experience within a medieval-like fantasy where the hero is able to engage in combat as the larger-than-life White Knight. Players will be able to customise their own avatar and enter in a deep single player campaign or join a real-time online multiplayer quest with up to four others."
"Level 5’s White Knight Chronicles still hasn’t been released here in North America, and already revealed are plans for a sequel. According to the latest Famitsu magazine, White Knight Chronicles 2 is in development. The Famitsu translation, reveals some interesting facts about the game."
White Knight Chronicles is yet to hit the world outside of Japan, but already many PS3 owners are pinning their hopes on it, and with news like this its not surprising. Tomorrow a new piece of content is to be added free of charge, and is currently the second update released for the game. The DLC is titled Futatsu no Hôgeki, ten points for whoever translates that.
Just last week it was reported White Knight Chronicles had broken sales records for the RPG genre in Japan this generation, selling over 200 000 copies in its first week of sale. A similar instance has occurred during the second week of going on sale, a further 74 000 copies flying off the shelves. In comparison MGS4, one of the best selling games on the PS3 only achieved 64 000 in its second week in Japan.
Having released on December 25th 2008 and with only four days of sales, it appears that White Knight Story/Chronicles has shown how huge it really is by selling more copies than all previous JRPG's that have been released on the XBOX360 with 203,000 units sold between 22nd-28th December. However the game hasn't stopped there, it seems that the first day sales themselves, have surpassed the total of many games with Enterbrain reporting that 100,000 sold on the first day it self.

Remember how Sony promised 11 unannounced PS3 titles to feature at TGS? The same titles which have been strangely absent despite one or two here and there? Well the full list of titles has finally been revealed. And it turns out we've all been tricked, or rather tricked ourselves. You see Sony said they were unannounced titles, but never that they were new titles. These games had yet to be announced to appear at TGS, so there never really any new games to begin with, the large majority of th...
Previously we were told what games would have trophies from Leipzig, and we've gotten a similar sort of list with new games which have been confirmed to be getting trophies on release:
White Knight Chronicles, the highly anticipated PS3 exclusive RPG from development studio Level 5 has gone up a notch in my books. A Japanese gaming site has revealed a several new tidbits on the game, among them a claim that the story should last 100 hours, that the graphics will be 1080P and strangest of all there will be cooperative game play over PSN. None of this is confirmed just yet, but seems pretty concrete. Expect more a TGS
Now that White Knight Story has a confirmed Japanese release date, the developers have written a note to the fans promising a substantial amount of information in the next few weeks and have even sealed the deal with 10 new screenshots !

Earlier today it was apparently revealed by Famitsu that the PS3's upcoming RPG White Knight Story will be released on December the 11th. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. After scouring the latest issue of Famitsu, Kotaku couldn't find any article on the game at all, let alone a release date.
The game's only mention was on a list of PS3 games marked as "TBA".
Discuss in the White Knight Story forum
This PS3 RPG fell off the map after its presentation at the Tokyo Game Show last year, but it seems to have gotten alone just fine in the background, with this weeks Famitsu stating that the game is set for release in Japan on December the 11th.
With a release date so soon I'm sure we can expect a major update at this years Tokyo Game Show.

This means that the game, which has the player transforming into a gargantuan knight during battles, will arrive sometime before March 31, 2009, if all goes as planned."
"If you've been wondering if Level 5 is up to anything other than getting themselves knee-deep in White Knight Story programming code, we've got some good news for you today. Seems a preliminary list of RPG's to show at the Tokyo Game Show compiled by RPGFan denotes a few Level 5 titles, one of which has yet to claim a title of its own. The interesting thing is the description released in the game listing: "set to create a new genre". That's pretty ambitious.
What could this game be? What p..."
