Ben-DutkaRPG fans have been anxiously awaiting a North American release date for White Knight Chronicles 2 , and we're hoping the wait is almost over.
Firstly, developer Level-5 opened a new studio in this country, which undoubtedly helps with localization procedures. Secondly, the game has been available in Japan since this past Summer, and Level-5 has stated in the past that US fans shouldn't have to wait a full year to see the sequel (it took over a year for the first WKC to arrive in the States). Thirdly and finally, according to The Silent Chief citing some blog entries by English voice actor Wally Wingert . Here are some of those comments:
"I started the day by heading over to Atlantis Recording to record a few voices for the new White Knight Chronicles game."
Then, on September 13:
"…I went to Atlantis studios in Santa Monica. When I was doing the latest 'White Knight Chronicles' game, we had forgotten to grab a couple of lines. So I went in, did 3 takes of 3 lines and was out in under 5 minutes. WILD!"
That was over a month ago so it's obvious that English voice recording for White Knight Chronicles 2 is in full swing. We're not entirely sure where that step falls in the overall localization process, but we'll consider it good news for now. Hopefully, we'll get a US date before the year is out…
