Jeanne d’… er… Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War trailer

Even before this writer bought his first game from Koei Inc., said game company has long been synonymous with “Let’s take actual world history and game-fy it.” (Yes, even Aerobiz, if your name happens to be Sir Richard Branson.) And now, after Kessen, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Genghis Khan, Liberty or Death!, L’Empereur, Nobunaga’s Ambition, and P.T.O (not to mention Dynasty Warriors), Koei messes with medieval European history with Bladestorm: the Hundred Years War.

That was Joan of Arc who passed by speaking Japanese, wasn’t it?

This short trailer from Playsyde, (yes, in Japanese) features what could be some of the actual cutscenes from the game, maybe, plus a short preview of the gameplay afterwards. Being from the same guys who gave the world Dynasty Warriors, what little we saw of the gameplay evokes that other Koei title. Aside for the PS3, Bladestorm is also destined for the Xbox 360.
