SCRAWL: "A new update to the official Japanese White Knight Chronicles website shows us a brand new area in the game as well as a new character.

Oct 18, 2007

In this post, Ps3fanboy reports:

"By fresh ink, we mean new scans of White Knight Story erupting from the depths of Famitsu magazine. With no clear release date in sight, we can only marvel and gaze at the new snippits of artwork and graphical prowess Level 5 is preparing to woo us with. The scans predominantly showcase the different Knights you'll either encounter or gain the ability to become (since we can't read Japanese we're just guessing here), but there are a few pieces of scenery and character art to check out as well. That Level 5 mascot, the purple toad thing, even makes an appearance."

White Knight Story outclasses all other RPGs (Feature)

Oct 2, 2007

Oct 2, 2007 1) Let's get straight to the point: it's got seven-metre tall knights smacking the shit out of each other. That's taller than Shaq and about the same size as a Predator. We're sold already 2) Level-5's excellent RPG pedigree consists of Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 in the US), Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King and Rogue Galaxy, as well as the Jeanne D'Arc on PSP. So it's bound to be good - we'd put money on it. 3) It'll be a mammoth 50-60 or so hours ...

New White Knight Story shots (News)

Jul 31, 2007

It's been almost one year since we last saw or heard anything from White Knight Story, PS3's impressively-animated and glossy RPG from Dragon Quest creator Level 5. But this fresh handful of images, showing both cutscene and gameplay action, suggest the game is still looking promising.
