A couple of new RPG announcements have come out of the the latest issue of Famitsu — and shockingly, they’re not for the DS! Marvelous Entertainment is working on Valhalla Knights : Eldar Saga for the Nintendo Wii. The games promises real-time battles, character customization, and a co-op mode via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The game is 70% complete and is due out sometime in 2009 in Japan.
Also due out in 2009 is Demon’s Soul for the PlayStation 3. Developed by From Software, the game will allow players to create their own hero with a range of customization options. Not much else is known, save that it’s an action RPG featuring shape-shifting monsters, but if you happen to be heading for the Tokyo Game Show, you can try it out first hand.

Marvelous Entertainment and XSEED Games today announced their E3 lineup, which will include a number of RPGs:
- Avalon Code (DS)
- Rune Factory: Frontier (Wii)
- Little King’s Story (Wii)
- Valhalla Knights 2 (PSP)
They also confirmed North American release for the games and added release dates. Avalon Code DS is due out Q1 2009; Rune Factory: Frontier is also set for Q1 2009; Little King’s Story is scheduled for winter 2008; and Valhalla Knights 2 is set for fall 2008. They’ve also confirmed that Avalon Code, Rune Factory: Frontier and Little King’s Story will be published in Europe by Rising Star Games.
Marvelous Entertainment, the publishers of the Harvest Moon series, has announced a co-publishing partnership with XSeed. In a win-win scenario, Marvelous gets more games published in North America, and XSeed gets more games to publish. The first fruit of this new partnership will come this fall when Valhalla Knights 2 for PSP hits North American shelves.
