Story

Introducing the Incorrupti

It's midnight in the nation of Athwan, and a guard peers over the ramparts of Castle Xarmgand. Yet where there should only be black emptiness stretching out before him, he sees a pair of glowing eyes, many metres above the ground. In White Knight Chronicles: Origins on PSP, these eyes are the chilling warning lights of the struggle ahead.

Smashing through Xarmgand's defences is the owner of those fearsome eyes, a colossal Yshrenian knight known as an Incorruptus. The stronghold it attacks is made to look like a sandcastle caught under the tide, its walls washing away in a furious assault – and it's just a hint of the scale of the task in front of you.

Welcome to the Dogma Wars, the never-ending conflict set some 10,000 years before White Knight Chronicles on PlayStation 3, which takes a dark turn with the introduction of the mechanical Incorrupti. On one side stands Athwan, small, courageous and defiant in the face of the larger, more aggressive and technologically advanced Yshrenia.

Your story begins in the furnace of the attack on Xarmgand when you make a last, desperate stand against the Yshrenian forces razing your home to the ground. Such a baptism of fire means things surely can't get any more testing. Or can they?


Gameplay

Optimus primed

Spurred on by a blazing hunger to avenge the destruction of your home town, you must criss-cross the land in search of new recruits and challenges to sharpen your fighting edge. The long road winding through White Knight Chronicles: Origins is one of adventure and possibilities, and it leads to the chance to set things right.

Explore the mysterious region between the kingdoms of Athwan and Yshrenia under the leadership of Cassius, the man you turn to for quests. Then, when the trusty Mobile Corps train rolls into a new, exotic location, you select a team of three skilled mercenaries to accompany you and stride out into the unknown.

Threats lurk around every corner, though if they knew the power you and your squad command, they'd think twice before revealing themselves. You possess the ability to transform into a mighty Optimus, a powerful warrior with heightened defences and a range of thunderous attacks. Along with teammates who can do the same, you form an impressive war machine capable of shredding even the fiercest beasts.

Sweep through enemy armies and gigantic menaces to unlock new skills and items which enhance your group. Master these abilities, build your legend and prepare for the final reckoning: the chance to defeat Yshrenia's terrifying Incorrupti and secure Athwan's freedom.
