After SCEE’s announcement of White Knight Chronicles 2 for Europe, speculation over its eventual release in North America left many wondering why SCEA had not made any statement in regards to this. We now know this to be because the localization of the sequel is going to be handled by D3Publisher instead of SCEA.
Like its Japanese counterpart, White Knight Chronicles 2 will come packaged with a revamped version of the first White Knight Chronicles game. Different, however, is that unlike the Japanese version which requires a completed save file from the first game in order to start the second title, the North American version will allow players to jump right into the sequel’s story if they wish without any prerequisite.
With over 400 weapons and armor, White Knight Chronicles 2’s online component features new and improved mechanics, including the ability for players to create a custom Knight for their avatars.
White Knight Chronicles 2 will make its way to North American shores this summer exclusively for Playstation 3.

I have more faith in third-parties to localize SCE games i.e. Demon’s Souls by Atlus.
