Knights Contract confirmed to be released in the West

When it comes to news we pick up from Famitsu, there’s really no guarantee that the heat in Japan will blow over to the West. Knights Contract, however, was very quick to get a European and North American go signal from Namco Bandai.

When it comes to news we pick up from Famitsu, there’s really no guarantee that the heat in Japan will blow over to the West. Knights Contract, however, was very quick to get a European and North American go signal from Namco Bandai.

The publisher announced earlier that Knights Contract will indeed see Western shores, although it’s too early to mention an actual date. Europe has a vague 2011 release, but nothing more concrete for North America.  Game Republic, better known for Genji and Majin and the Fallen Kingdom, will be in charge of development.

Judging by the above screens, Heinrich and Gretchen visibly have their own fighting styles. The immortal knight, Heinrich, is quite the brutal axe-massacre type, while Gretchen has her spells to bake foes into a different flavor of brutality.
