In collaboration of the recent announcement of the North American version of the game, the newest White Knight Chronicles trailer reveals a forgotten secret, which really isn’t a secert thanks to the games title.

White Knight Chronicles begins in the kingdom of Balandor, where a princess’s coming-of-age banquet is raided by an evil Corporation called “Wizard”. A boy called Leonard grabs the princess’s hand and leads her to safety in the castle cellars, where he finds a strange suit of armour that transforms him into the White Knight – an ancient warrior with the strength to defeat the Wizard corporation forces.

It makes prefect sense that we’d be getting the sequel to one of the best DS games of last year, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, it was just about a matter of time until the announce it for our regain.

At the Game Developer Conference, Level 5 head of publishing Akihiro Hino told the audience, when being asked, he wants all six Layton games to eventually come out in the U.S. and Europe. If we do the math, this means that there are six Layton games in the works – one of them being the recently revealed Professor Layton and the Devil’s Flute.

Ending on that statement, he also revealed that the are currently working on on the localized version of Diabolical Box, and they hope to release it in the next six months.

Recently announced to be headed towards North America, Level-5 has informed us that additional content for White Knight Chronicles will be available in Japan tomorrow.

According to them, the content will be entitled “Futatsu no Hôgeki” and it is the second online content made for the title.

After revealing a some other important information about the game, they revealed that it is recommended for players of a level 9 and 46 minimum, along with that  they also say that the pack is completely free

Some of us already knew that it was coming, but it is never good to jump the gun, even if many of us are hasty to babble, “I knew it”. “But, with time, comes great reward.” A great man once told us, and it’s about time that we gain our reward.

In a recent interview with GameTrailers, CEO and president of Level 5, Akihiro Hino, revealed that White Knight Chronicles will indeed be headed to North America. But, he wasn’t quick to give out a release date, or target.

He also said that American gamers may get the chance to play with Japanese gamers online. “We haven’t decided,” he said samply when asked about the possibility of it being region free.

But, one the other hand, if news of the games low scores in Japan spread like wild fire, they may have a problem with selling the title in the North America.

Update: We have been miss informed, apparently the original shipment was 250,000 copies and the game only sold about 132,000 copies.

Original: This is a real reason why Level-5 should be celebrating. After almost a super disappointing review score by popular Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, it seems that the Japanese public really knows what it wants.

According to a Japanese sales list, White Knight Chronicles has sold almost 100K copys in Japan in just one day. And because of the games popular demand in Japan an emergency shipment has been ordered.

However, because it is the holidays, Retailers have been reminded that because it the end of the year sale will most likely be slow.

As you probably can see, this is a really big marking point in the console war - mainly because games really don’t sell by that much in Japan in one day. Which makes this a very strong entry in Japan for Sony in the New Year.

PSMania, an Italian PlayStation magazine, sayed Level 5 is developing Dark Cloud 3 exclusively for the PS3. We where able to get a translation into English.

"One of our infiltrates, has revealed that Level 5 is working on a new Dark Cloud exclusively for the PlayStation 3. This title will come out in March of 2009, and will be developed using a new open-technology, the Japanese style "Kumo Engine"."

While White Knight Chronicles is the latest game Level 5 is working which is due in Early 2009 these guys are also looking ahead.
