Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga Gets Ship Date, Web Site

It's allllllllllmost here, department: Xseed Games' next Wii exclusive, Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is set to hit stores across North America on September 29, 2009. The K2/Marvelous Entertainment-developed Action/RPG also has an official website up now with loads of great game info, screens, wallpapers and some really nice music from the game playing in the background. In case you haven't been following the game to date, here's a quick rundown of what to expect in an easy to digest press release format.

And in case you're asking, yep, i'm still holding my breath for those VKES interview questions I sent off a while ago. I know that there's been a LOT going on over at Xseed (including at least one new Xseed baby - Congratulations, Jimmy!), but I'm a supremely patient sort these days.

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is a fantasy foray into a world of magic and monsters that will take the player on an adventure that spans generations.

As a follow up title to Valhalla Knights and Valhalla Knights 2, Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga brings back the trademark unfettered play and character customization with advances in graphics, a new mercenary system and online co-operative play.
