Eternal Sonata to ship with exclusive PS3 characters and quests

Stephanie Fernandez from Namco Bandai has released some information at the PlayStation Blog about exclusive PS3 Eternal Sonata content. Since the game was announced for the PlayStation 3 we have known that there will be new story content to expand on the characters' backgrounds and motives.

It has been confirmed that there are also two new exclusive playable characters who have their own very useful and unique abilities. The development team has included some new quests, new dungeons and three new Chopin musical scores. There will be alternative costumes hidden around the game world and new items some of which are only usable by the new characters.

The game will be shipped with a extra dungeon which will only become available after the story has been completed once.

The additions look as if they will add a lot more depth to the game and will expand on an already good story. The game ships in America tomorrow, with a European release date down for early 2009.

Eternal Sonata is -finally- coming to Europe

Xbox's ex-exclusive (and currently multi-platform) title Eternal Sonata is going to visit Europe (at last...). Atari announced that the PS3 version of the game is scheduled to hit the stores in 2009. Don't worry though; it will still be snowing and raining outside. You guessed it! The month I'm talking about is February.

We shall not forget that the 360 version of the game scored quite high, with many sites (and mags) praising it.

The PS3 version is coming locked and loaded, with -all new- never seen before features!

First of all, the game is going to last even longer with exclusive quests, battles, events and endings.

Secondly, new playable characters will be available -Crescendo and Serenade-. Furthermore, new costumes will make their appearance, allowing the player to 'dress' the game's characters.

Last but not least, it seems that Namco Bandai has decided to 'please' our ears. You see, exclusive new music themes are going to be heard in Eternal Sonata. This makes us even more excited, since Frederic Chopin's longitudinal classic tunes were absolutely amazing.

For all our US readers; Eternal Sonata is visiting US October 21st of 2008.
