Thank God she shaves her armpits
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed that it is working on White Knight Chronicles, an RPG in which players embark on a quest in a huge medieval world of combat and magic.A young man, protecting a princess, comes to possess an ancient artefact that can transform him into the White Knight, an all-powerful, seven-metres-tall warrior from ancient times.
The story of 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. Leonard’s transformation into a mighty hero, the White Knight, is the beginning of a life-changing fantasy experience, fighting against the fiercest enemies.
Alongside the huge single player quest, adventurers will be able to meet in online lobbies to team up for their quests through the wide world of White Knight Chronicles. Players will find friendship as they journey through a land of mountains, castles, mines and a towering mobile city built on the back of a gargantuan creature. They’ll hone their combat skills and strategy against foe after foe in melee battles with enemies large and small – and they’ll join a globe-spanning community of brothers (and sisters)-in-arms with a shared taste for adventure.
