Marvelous Entertainment announced yesterday a final release date for the latest entry in its Valhalla Knights series of RPGs. Valhalla Knights: The Eldar Saga will arrive on October 8, priced at ¥7,140.

This first Wii entry in the series is an action RPG with an epic story spanning two generations. Players can create a custom character, with over 100,000 possible part combinations, and team up with other players for multipalyer play via Wi-Fi Connection.

To celebrate the release date announcement, Marvelous gave the game's official site an update with a couple of wallpapers.

This is the second major piece of news for Valhalla Knight: The Eldar Saga in the past couple of weeks. Late last month, Marvelous announced that Nami Tamaki would be performing a promo song for the game. Tamaki previously worked with Marvelous on Arc Rise Fantasia.
