Nowthisis a game that’s been waiting in the wings for quite some time. Level-5’s PS3-exclusive RPG,White Knight Chronicles, has been patiently tapping its feet for ages, waiting to tell the world more about itself. Looks like E3 is finally its time to shine, with a brand new trailer squeaked out just a few days before the show.
The game is being billed as the first truly online-enabled RPG for the PS3, and it sounds very promising indeed. The trailer looks like it has a few worrying clichés, most notably the classic boy-hero who appears to be fulfilling his destiny, but it looks pretty and the music is suitably rousing.
If the promise of a “unique” turn-based system and “robust” online play holds water, it could be a good one. Level-5 is a well regarded dev, so it’s safe to say the game’s in good hands. We’ll have to wait and see however, because it’s going to take a really good game to stop me feeling burned out on a genre that’s been treading water for far too long.
Hit the jump for the trailer. Hopefully we get to see much more at E3.
