Harley Quinn's Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City's Bad New Ending Oh ho ho. We told you to take that White Knight Story-is-dated-for-Japan-December-11th story with a “pinch — nay, a handful — of salt”. And good thing! Pictured is the new issue of Famitsu which was supposed to contain this announcement. It doesn’t. At all. Not only is there not a single article on the PS3 RPG exclusive, the game isn’t even given a launch window. Just look at the cover and see how there’s not a single mention of White Knight Story (in Japanese 白騎士物語). You’d think a big Level-5 developed Sony published PS3 exclusive would at least get a cover mention. Still, don’t believe us? Hit the jump for the proof.
Level 5′s gorgeous-looking PS3 RPG White Knight Story has been tickling our fancy since we saw early footage back in 2006.
The game started out as an RPG with an innovative real-time combat system – although that was a couple of years ago. It might be a sudoku-based platform game by now.
Luke spotted an update from Level 5 a couple of days ago that suggested that the game had not been abandoned, and now Famitsu has been able to confirm that it will finally, finally, hit the streets of Japan on December 11th.
Wikipedia is listing a US and European release for sometime in 2009, although that seems to have been plucked from thin air. Import it is, then.
UPDATE: we still haven’t seen any actual scans of this and were are going to pick up a real-world copy of Famitsu to check. Until then, take this with a pinch — nay, a handful — of salt.

White Knight Story looks hot. Or, least it did last time we saw it. Which was at TGS. Been a long time between showings for the game, leading some to wonder where the hell it had got to, but Level 5 have updated the game’s website to confirm that, yes, it’s still around. And what more, we should be seeing more of it soon, the site saying ‘The day of awakening is coming soon”. How soon? The Tokyo Game Show kicks off in a bit over a month, that’s unlikely to be a coincidence.
