Sony Computer Entertainment has released a first round of details regarding the fifth installment of its Arc The Lad series. Arc The Lad Generation for PlayStation 2 will feature 16-year old Edda as its protagonist. The honest young man, who has lost his parents currently lives in a small town located on the Graf peninsula. One day he decides to leave the peninsula to see the world, but at first he is struggling to do the first step, as he still lacks self-confidence. At this time, he runs into the game's female lead, the 17-year old Kilika. The young archeologist has a low sociability and usually comes off as pretty cold. While she is crossing the Ocean together with Edda, she still remains a mystery to him. The third character is a Hemoji boy and friend of Edda's, named Hemo.

Arc The Lad Generation will be released in Japan sometime this winter.
