White Knight Chronicles II on PS3

Developed by acclaimed Japanese studio LEVEL-5 Inc., White Knight Chronicles II takes us back to the magic-infused kingdom of fantasy, swordplay and myth.   Follow intrepid adventurer Leonard on a brand new voyage set one year on from his original adventure, and master a dynamic new combat system. Choose the way you play with a fully-customisable White Knight, and plan your own strategies and attacks as you progress through over 30 hours of single player gameplay.  And with unlimited online play, the adventure never stops.  Create a team of up to six people and take on co-op quests or free-roam together across the land meeting friends and creating guilds. Furthermore a fully remastered version of the original White Knight Chronicles will be included on the disk. Players can choose to start the story from the very beginning, or jump straight into White Knight Chronicles II.

White Knight Chronicles: Origins on PSP

The quest goes portable when White Knight Chronicles: Origins debuts on PSP.  Developed by celebrated handheld RPG gaming experts Matrix Corp., delve into a whole new world of mystery set 10,000 years before the events of the original White Knight Chronicles. In the middle of a world at war, this time you’ll be fighting the towering Knights of the Yshrenia instead of playing as them. Battle the knights on your own or play with up to three friends online, trading quests and characters.

The most versatile RPG ever to hit a console, immerse yourself in a world of fantasy both online and offline with White Knight Chronicles for PS3 and PSP.  Are you ready to live the legend?  Find out more at www.eu.playstation.com
