Sony Computer Entertainment and development studio Level 5 have finally unveiled first details about the online mode of their PlayStation 3 title White Knight Story (Shiro Kishi Monogatari). A square will serve as a lobby where up to 16 avatars can gather and chat. Up to four players can form a team and then take on a certain quest together. This online mode is called Live Part by Level 5 and apparently is not clearly seperated from the main story, but rather seamlessly connected to the story mode. This story mode is set to offer more than 100 hours of gameplay.

Furthermore, White Knight Story will allow for the creation of original combos. These can be created by combining various techniques. Players will also be able to name their creations. After inserting them into a palette, combos are ready to be used in battle. The right timing provided, a button press will then trigger off a combo during battle.

White Knight Story will be available in Japan on December 25th.
