Both Sony Japan and Level-5 have updated their White Knight Chronicles pages with the (roughly) translated text, “The days of awakening is coming soon.” There’s some new artwork up on the Sony page as well.

The game will be released during Sony's current fiscal year (by the end of March).
Release date should definetly be announced during TGS.
A suprise release this December in Japan would be nice but it's possible that Sony might be willing to save the title for early next year when Resident Evil5 and the FFXIII demo bundle come out too.

what a tease

 

[Dead Prince]

so they update without really telling us. airships are always nice ;o

 

[Ermac]

I have a feeling it's going to be delayed.

 

[Firewire]

I hope this is a surprise December release or something! :lol

Day 1!

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Thats okay, I lost all faith in this game when it missed its Fall 2008 promise.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I hope this is a surprise December release or something! :lol

Day 1!

huge suprise

 

[angelfly]

I'm slowly losing interest in this one due to the waiting and the fact that there has ben no new media or information in quite a while.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Kinda fell off the hype train for this, but TGS should change all that.

TGS!

 

[Mistouze]

Something to look forward, good.

 

[LiK]

TGS!

i hope it's not gonna be a 10 second trailer

 

[Kyoufu]

One year absence, hopefully it looks better than it did last year. Still one of my most wanted PS3 games. Can Level 5 finally make a good console RPG?

 

[thuway]

I'm weary of hyping myself for this title after seeing those FFXIII screens.

They already made Dark Cloud 2 and Dragon Quest 8.

What's wrong Dark Cloud/2 and DQVIII? NOTHING

Spoiler

Rogue Galaxy sucked

 

[Kyoufu]

They already made Dark Cloud 2 and Dragon Quest 8.

Eww on both accounts.

 

[Mr YuYu]

what about rogue galaxy? that 1 was pretty good too no?

 

[Oni Jazar]

I hate this "Soon" crap. Same as the next Ico project, stop teasing just show it!

"Prepare to go forward!"

"Stop Preparing, you're always preparing! Just GO!"

"Just go."

*falls down*

 

[LiK]

They already made Dark Cloud 2 and Dragon Quest 8.

yea, Dark Cloud 2 was excellent. DQVIII was good.

Eww on both accounts.

ew? pfft

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Eww on both accounts.

 

[jump_button]

ico team and now this good TGS this year for ps3?

 

[thuway]

Sony internally better insure this game looks and plays amazing. On a system that has a handful of poorly selling RPG exclusives, this could be the trump card.

 

[Zoe]

Is that text really new? I could have sworn it's been there for a while.

 

[iceatcs]

Yeah I saw that on early day. Looking forward what are they going to show after long silence.

And I don't care how y'all hype feeling!

If Valkyria failed miserably in Japan, I can't see this game being more successful.

Valkyria was a great quality game, Level 5 tends to be hit-or-miss, so that is another potential problem.

 

[anachronous_one]

Eww on both accounts.

wat

 

[Haunted]

Calling it, 30 second trailer at TGS + character and story section opened on the site.

Well for one, Valkyria is an SRPG so its already a niche genre.

WKC is a JRPG so it'll appeal to more people. It'll outsell Valkyria Chronicles by default.

 

[SolidSnakex]

There's nothing new on either of those sites.

They did many as far as I am concerned gameplay wise. Well, except for DQ8, it sucked... but that one wasn't their fault!

 

[ChackanKun]

I call if bluff!



But would love it to be true

 

[jiggle]

can't wait!

 

[eznark]

were it not for Lost Odyssey I would have lost all hope in JRPG's by now. Come on WKC, restore some faith!

 

[duckroll]

It's been "awakening" since October 2007.

30 second trailer this year whereas last year it was playable and it had a 3 min long trailer.
