With a distinct lack of JRPGs on the market and PlayStation 3 owners getting a tad unhinged over the drought, it's reassuring to know that fans can prepare for a steady influx of the genre nearing the end of the current fiscal year.
Beginning with Disgaea 3 this August, PS3 owners can look forward to a succession of JRPG releases, including the likes of Valkyria Chronicles, (possibly) Final Fantasy XIII and now, White Knight Chronicles.
During Sony's Strategy presentation today, the platform holder confirmed that the JRPG would be released sometime before the end of the current fiscal year. Essentially, this means you can expect the game to hit retail shelves no later than March 31, 2009.
White Knight Chronicles is said to follow a young man and a princess in distress who slowly become closer as the story unravels. Though not much has been released regarding the title, we hope to bring you a decent amount of new information while attending this year's E3 Media and Business Summit next month, where the game will presumably make an appearance.

Cool though 2 corrections..
1: It's White Knight Chronicles now
and
2: Highly unlikely that FF XIII will be out this fiscal year
@dave i think FF XII will be out in japan this fiscal year but i don't think america will be seeing it until summerish/fall.
@Hybrid
SE announced world release for FF13 long time ago so it wont be out in Japan first.
Should be a White Knight Chronicles blowout at TGS/PLAYSTATION PREMIERE (if there is one this year) at the very least.
we'll see how this game will play out
Whatever. Show me.
Hey Dave-The-Rave,
I didn't write or edit this article, but I addressed your two concerns. Appreciate the feedback.
The '08 Fiscal Year doesn't end until March 2009, anyway. So FF XIII may still come out. But I'm betting on a Fall release so it's not likely to be released this fiscal year, as Dave-The-Rave has said.
finally a cool jrpg game ... i thought next - gen is all about FPS only ... but still we have to waite so long to play it ... damn the deley station
Do me White Knight ,,, like I've never done before ... =D
I would say bring on the RPG's and i do not meen the rocket launcher kind.
watch your smart mouth jiajia, thats a dumb thing to say in a comment box.
@Dave-The_Rave
It's actualy now called Black Knight Chronicles!!!!! LOL
PS3=Black
"...a young man and a princess in distress..." Tried and true, I guess.
Still, this game looks rad and can't wait to see more of it.
i told you guys we would start seeing rpgs come 2009
I am excited for White Knight Chronicles. I hope it is a good RPG. Final Fantasies are great, but we need more than one franchise of RPGs. I hope it is a solid game.
I'm now expecting a White Knight Chronicles blowout at either E3 or TGS, or even both perhaps. Thankyou Level-5!!!!
psn id: gingo... glad to finally hear more of this title it was looking good and then there was no news of it so glad to hear it coming out this financial year
