Dark Cloud Developer Level-5 Opens its Doors in North America
About a year ago there was some rumbling that Japanese developer Level-5 would be opening up shop in Santa Monica, California. The time has come, and an office is open now, and currently running strong with a five person crew which is the perfect amount to match the studios’ name. Make no mistake though, this office is not setup to localize Level-5 games, but instead to develop them for the North American market.
An announcement of specific titles will be mentioned at this years Level-5 Vision press event. Whatever games they are, they will be a collaboration of the core Japanese staff and the local staff, something Akiko Hino believes will make a successful game in North America.
This should be great for PSP and PS3 owners as some of the titles announced are surely to be for one of the systems. Dark Cloud perhaps?

I don’t do the Dark Cloud Speculation Game anymore; like 7 years of being teased is enough.
If it happens, it happens and I’m sure that’ll be awesome. But eh, I’m not gonna go throwing my hopes around. People do that over ever Level-5 business move and it never ends well, haha.
A new Dark Cloud game would be epic. I’m still wondering when we’ll get WKC 2…
I’m surprised they aren’t coming to Canada. Our government gives game developers huge tax breaks and will sometimes cover the cost of certain smaller games.
if they do make another dark cloud game they should make it a mix of fable + zelda. zelda allways has had great game play ussally , and fable has had good story lines , detailed settiings. pretty much an action rpg type title is what the ps3 is lacking.
