White Knight Chronicles released on the PS3 in 2009 at a time when finding a good RPG on the PS3 was no easy task. And while WKC wasn't exactly a glowing example of the genre, it did garner a decent following.
A sequel was released in Japan last year, published by Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan. Much like what happened with Demon's Souls (where it was published by SCEJ in Japan, but by Atlus in the US), Sony didn't have plans to bring it to the states.
