White Knight Chronicles International Edition Coming to PS3 February 2, 2010

201 17

So we know there are a bunch of people out there who are going to be getting a PlayStation 3 this holiday (or already opened theirs). Many new owners are probably going to ask us what we have to offer, and as many of you know, there’s plenty!

Level-5 and SCEA would like to add to that list of fantastic titles by announcing the North American release of White Knight Chronicles International Edition February 2, 2010.

White Knight Chronicles International Edition Packfront

The International Edition not only includes the fully localized copy of White Knight Chronicles, but it also comes with the following additional features and content:

  • Over 50 disc-based online quests. You can complete these quests solo, or cooperatively with up to three other players to gain extra gear and experience. (That’s just on the disc. Wait until you hear what else we’ll have at launch!)
  • Voice Chat. Need we say more? =)
  • The Georama. Build an online village for your character where you can invite friends to complete quests online and purchase unique items and gear.
  • Live Talk. Leonard and his companions will have side conversations during gameplay, adding a little more character to your travels through the world of White Knight Chronicles.

We hope you’re as excited as we are about this upcoming release! Be sure to check out this month’s coverage in Qore and keep an eye out for even more information on this incredible RPG in the coming weeks!

  • Cool, second post. I’ve been hearing about this game for a while now, can’t wait to see what’s in store for it.

  • Awesome! Thanks!

    Can’t wait. Very excited.

  • Day 1 for me.

  • Cool, second comment.

    This is looking like a pretty cool game, good to see some rpgs making their way.

  • Thank You guys!

    Day one

  • can’t wait, I wish there was a ps3 dark cloud btw

  • Awesome, when is the Europe release date?

  • Can’t wait! The window between this and FFXIII is a little short though but at least it’ll ensure that this game gets a great deal of time devoted to it to have it finished in time.

  • I am having a heart attack here. I am speechless right now :)
    Sony, I love you.

    I do have one question. Since this is the international version, will it have multiple languages to select from? For example, the original Japanese voice over with english subs?

    • Multi-language support, yes.
      English, French and Spanish.
      (voice over is English only)

      We tried to include the Japanese but unfortunately couldn\’t make it happen. So sorry… :-(

  • I know the original Japanese release did not have Dual Shock 3 support.

    Does the International Version support the DS3?

  • About time!!! Pretty excited to play this one.

  • Please have Japanese VO.
    Please.

  • Finally! Glad that this is coming out 1 month before FF13! Smart move ;)

    Day 1 purchase for me!

  • yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

    I know this look like spam, but I am just excited right now knowing this.

  • But is the international edition supposed to be available in stores or do we have to pre-order it? And if this is what we get in stores, what will be the price? 59.99$?

    • You\’ll be in able to pick it up in stores. We\’d like you to pre-order it, of course! The price will be $59.99.

  • I wanna know if it got updated graphics, cause the jp version was lacking.

  • awesome been waiting a long time for this game to come 2 the states cant w8 2 get it XD

  • did this get good reviews in Japan? I feel like it didn’t.

  • Yea and like the other guy said, will there be updated graphics? since its been like forever since the game was out in Japan…It needs to be better in every way possible! But I like the new contents!! Don’t get me wrong on that!

  • @Gamermonkey: I could not agree with you more. As you might be able to tell by my PSN ID I really like Dark Cloud and level-5 so I hope their next title is Dark Cloud 3.

  • Finally some (good) WKC news!

    But what about the original Japanese voice/dub, is that included?

  • “International Edition” implies that it includes the original Japanese voice-overs with subtitles.

    Does it? I would prefer to play the game with the original voice-over track.

    Thanks for the info! :)

    • As I posted above, we unfortunately were not able to include the Japanese original voice overs.

      However, we have spent extensive & quality time making sure the English voice overs are spot on.

      We hope you will enjoy the game regardless!

  • Day 1 buy. Going to pre-order

  • what #24 said

    original japanese voice-overs yes no?

  • How does it NOT support rumble? I mean come on, they have had over a year to work on the english on, and have had rumble technology for a little over a decade…. does anyone else think thats weird?? Anyways, I’ll pre-order it as soon as it is available to do so on amazon! GO LEVEL 5!!!! bring dark cloud 3!

  • How long is the main story? without counting the side-quests!

  • you need lfd2 if you want to compete with xbl.

  • does it support japanese/eng subs?

  • How long is the story without counting the side-quests?

  • So the Georama and online quests weren’t in the Japanese version? Sounds like a lot of content that’s been added for this version.

    • Some online quests were available at launch in Japan. Additional quests and the Georama were added later via patch. For the US, we\’re putting everything on the disc and adding more (outlined above).

  • I have been waiting awhile to play this game. Do we need rumble in this game? It’s an RPG. BTW, as you and many people know, the second one was announced a couple of months ago. Will it come to the US too?

  • Awesome news guys :D Looks good and i’m not even into RPGs

    Look forward to finding out a European release date :) Don’t make us suffer too much!

  • Georama? Wait, WHAT!? Is this game like Dark Cloud!? Oh, please say it is! I’ve been waiting for a new Dark Cloud game since I beat the second one… like ten times!

  • why did White Knight Chronicles took that much time to come in North America? just a question like that! I’m sure I’ll become a true fan of White Knight Chronicles as soon as I’ll get it! Loving the cover art by the way ^^

  • PLEASE ANSWER!

    Will there be a White Knight Chronicles offical site with the report log and the manga translated?

  • what about getting LFD2 for ps3?

  • OMG, it is about freakin time!!! I can’t wait!!! I am now officially more excited for this than FF again!!!

  • Can’t wait for this! Loved Dark Cloud 1 & 2!

  • i cant wait for this game. hopefully ill have money to buy it when it releases if not ill have to get it on gamefly.

    id also love to see a dark cloud 3 on PS3.

  • Too many RPGs!!! star ocean, 3d dot game heroes, final fantasy xiii, and this. I will be playing nothing but rpgs next year

  • I think White Knight Story is the only exclusive RPG that will eventually become a serie on SONY s Playstation 3 right? At least there is one!

  • Already preordered! This will definately keep me busy till FFXIII comes along :)

  • White Knight, Star Ocean, and FFXIII all within a months time…. spoil me please lol.

  • Been waiting for this for a long time. Def getting this day 1!!

  • No Japanese VO? :-(… I hope you guys start realizing we prefer this for future titles.

  • When will we know more about “incentive” bonuses that some of us will receive if we place this game on pre-order…? I hope that those “incentive” bonuses are GOOD! Please make that happen!

  • No rumble support or Japanese voices after all this time? Is there a clear reason for this?
