Each week, a new permanent quest will be available, along with limited-time quests that you can only download for two weeks. And to mark the occasion, Sony is giving away a 12-inch White Knight figurine to one lucky player that logs into one of six quests during a certain time period. See PlayStation Blog for all the details.

Nintendo's Wii Fit Plus got a second wind (or a big shipment to the region) and overtook Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 after moving up five spots and into fourth. Finally, Napoleon: Total War marched in at #12 while White Knight Chronicles began its quest at #35.

Review: White Knight Chronicles
by JC Fletcher { Feb 4th 2010 at 9:30AM }
Instead of the grand system-selling RPG many expected back then, Level-5's PS3 debut is a fairly standard JRPG with excellent character building options and nothing incredibly special to do with those characters.

White Knight Chronicles 'International Edition' goes to the US on February 2

Click to see the full box art.
White Knight Chronicles' February 2nd release date places it before other big 2010 games on PS3, such as BioShock 2, Dante's Inferno, Star Ocean, Heavy Rain, and most importantly -- our lord and savior Final Fantasy XIII. We wonder if Level-5's Yoshiaki Kusada will be happy with the distance between these two PS3 RPG juggernauts.

White Knight Chronicles coming February 2010
by Andrew Yoon { Oct 16th 2009 at 10:00PM }
Such an early 2010 release should give players a few months time to delve into Level-5's world before Square Enix launches Final Fantasy XIII. That should make Level-5's Yoshiaki Kusada pretty happy, right?
Time to start waiting for White Knight Chronicles 2
by Andrew Yoon { Oct 9th 2009 at 1:40PM }
You'll create another avatar to join Leonard on his quest, and this time you'll be able to transform (a power unavailable in the first game). In addition to the requisite new areas, monsters, equipment and skills, White Knight Chronicles 2 will also feature a brand new female knight, and the ability to have six characters in your party.
SCE didn't reveal when the second White Knight game would hit Japan, but we do know this: English-speaking fans shouldn't expect to it see any time soon.

Interview: Level-5's Yoshiaki Kusada
by Andrew Yoon { Oct 2nd 2009 at 8:40PM }
Joystiq: White Knight Chronicles has been out in Japan for a very long time. Why has it taken so long to find release in America?
Kusada: When Level-5 launched the Dark Cloud series in the past in Japan, we tried to incorporate feedback from users to make updates before releasing it overseas. In terms of White Knight Chronicles, since it's an online game, we have received a lot of feedback from users. So, we wanted to improve the title more based on the feedback from the users before releasing it overseas. In fact, in the Japanese market, these improvements have been made available through patching. We are awfully sorry we have been keeping the US users for so long, but we wanted to make sure that all the updates and improvements of everything up to the so-called "Second Wave," which includes Georama, before delivering it to the US users. After the "Second Wave," we started the localization of the game for the international market. We are so sorry that it has taken so much time. For the time, we believe we are able to deliver a much better game for the US market. So, I would like to ask for a bit more patience.

White Knight Chronicles screens are eye-searingly gorgeous
by Griffin McElroy { Jul 31st 2009 at 11:30AM }
Oh, sure, we've been seeing content from this massive RPG since the game came out in Japan last Christmas. Still, these shots are from the American version of the game -- that's the most beautiful thing of all, in our humble opinion. Woo! Go America!

Rumor: Famitsu scan reveals White Knight Chronicles sequel plans
by JC Fletcher { Jul 29th 2009 at 6:40PM }
An image, purported to be a partial scan of a Famitsu article about the "2nd Wave" update for the Japanese release (the 1st Wave came out this spring), depicts a sidebar with the heading "A sequel is in the works" (as translated by Kotaku), and an caption "Unfinished story" (as translated by us). We aren't entirely certain about the veracity of this scan, and since this is all we have to go on, we can offer no details about this possible game.

White Knight Chronicles gets town-building, Q1 release for US
by Jem Alexander { Jun 3rd 2009 at 7:14PM }
Smaller features that are going to be added to the western release of the game include an autorun feature and improvements to the targeting system. The extra online missions that have been released since the Japanese launch -- roughly two a month -- will also be on the disc. Level-5 is also adding a system that was key to their Dark Cloud series, Georama, which will allow you to create your own town during the online portion of the game. Exactly how it'll work or how it will affect gameplay is unclear.
Level-5 is looking in to getting Japanese voices into the western version of the game for Japanophiles, and is still "working on" voice chat, but White Knight chronicles will definitely support cross-region play for the US and Europe when it launches.
