XSEED
Games Announces Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga for Wii
Popular Handheld Action RPG
Series to Debut on Nintendo Console
XSEED Games today announced that
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga for Wii is currently in development and scheduled
for release in North America in summer 2009. Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is the
third installment of the popular action RPG and marks the first time the title
will be available on a home console. The Valhalla Knights series has previously
been available on the PlayStation Portable.
Enter into an epic tale that has
endured for generations and generations. For centuries the land of Eldar has
been synonymous with chaos and destruction; a place where monsters prey freely
and demons wreak havoc, indiscriminate in their attacks. Legend tells of how,
ages past, a being known as the Spirit King gained control of the creatures and
waged an unrelenting war upon civilization. Order and life were brought to the
brink of destruction, but an alliance of the four races was able to drive them
back and seal the evil. Centuries have passed since that time, but once again
the lands are slowly being overrun by the reemerging monsters. With the
continent giving way to madness, a hero must come forth to reunite the races and
confront the relentless enemy. And so the saga continues…
”We are looking forward to
delivering the Valhalla Knights series to console gamers,” said Jun Iwasaki,
President of XSEED Games. “Eldar Saga is a fantastic extension of the Valhalla
Knights world/universe/story, and will offer a unique and engaging experience
that is sure to please the Wii fans.”
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is an
action RPG available exclusively on Wii. It is the follow up title to the
original Valhalla Knights and Valhalla Knights 2, and expands upon the series by
introducing a new online feature that allows two players to adventure through
the land of Eldar co-operatively. Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga continues the
series trademark of no random encounters while updating the real-time battle
system to now include battles taking place on the world map instead of a
separate battle screen for a seamless experience.
XSEED Games partnered with Marvelous
Entertainment USA to secure the North America rights to publish and distribute
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga. This title is being developed by K2 and KUROGANE
and will be available during summer 2009 exclusively for Wii.
