White Knight Chronicles goes portable

By Tom Bramwell Published 1 September, 2010

Prequel due out next year for PSP.

The next instalment in the White Knight Chronicles RPG series will be a PlayStation Portable-exclusive prequel, according to Famitsu.

White Knight Chronicles: Episode Portable Dogma Wars is due out in 2011 and takes place 10,000 years before the events of WKC and its sequel.

According to a Kotaku translation, it will focus on the making of the knights and the White Knight will be an adversary.

The Level-5-developed White Knight Chronicles began life on PlayStation 3 - the first instalment finally hit Europe earlier this year and picked up solid reviews in its revised International Edition.

White Knight Chronicles 2 was released in Japan, also for PS3, in July this year.

    If the white knight is an adversary, will Thaumas be playable? or does this question lead to major major spoilers

    I liked the game at first and ignored negativity in reviews regarding the combat.

    Sadly, they were right, the combat was downright tedious and random enemies could take up to 10 minutes to kill, far too drawn out. I gave up on the game at the desert part.

    Guess they took a peek at Sega's succes with VC2 in Japan...

    In all fairness, this series is very much a "monster hunter" type multiplayer game at heart, with a single player story tacked on. I finished it, and was a rather annoyed at the lack of proper resolution to the story (all that slog, and "to be continued";)! It makes sense as a PSP game in Japan, because of the community - they'll love the multiplayer heart, and won't care about the single player side. Unless they really improved the single player portion, of course!

    It already is. It even comes with the original WKC in the same disc.
