White Knight (Shirokishi Monogatari) Official Site now up

It started off as a rumor, ended up being confirmed, and was eventually featured at the Tokyo Game Show as a trailer. Now, its official website is up and screenshots are out. Apparently, the people over at Level 5 and Sony Computer Entertainment have been beefing up their repertoire of RPG titles since these are the same people who have brought us Jeanne D’Arc and Rogue Galaxy, and they are making every effort to make sure that the world knows about it. Not that we mind, really.

White Knight (or better known in Japan as Shirokishi Monogatari, which can be translated as “The Tale of the White Knight”) is a project that is led by Akihiro Hino who is known for his work on PS2 games such as Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle, as well as Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. The story of the game revolves around our Boy of Destiny (TM) who finds an artifact that allows him to summon the legendary and gigantic White Knight. Similar to piloting a medieval mecha, our hero will go up against enemies of his size or more, and of course at the end of it all awaits his deadliest adversary, the Black Knight.

Have at you! (I’m sorry, there’s just something about saying “Black Knight” that just prompts me into saying that…)

All in all, White Knight seems like a promising title for the Playstation 3 and I’m not saying this just because the screenshots look gorgeous. Really.
