While Valhalla Knights 2 isn't expected to land in Japan until next week (May 29), that doesn't mean you can't pick up an early copy (of sorts). We're letting the readers know that a game demo is now available at the region's PlayStation Store.

If you're proficient in Nihonggo (or know somebody who is), you might want to give it a shot. The demo will come in at a little more than 5 MB, so space shouldn't too big an issue for your PSP. On the other hand, expect it to be short.

In the mean time, there's also the matter of  Marvelous Interactive and XSEED's recently announced partnership. This agreement will enable Marvelous to bring Valhalla Knights 2 into North America (currently set for a fall 2008 release), with an official English game site expected to come up soon. Those interested in grabbing a copy of Japan's demo can access their PlayStation Store via the source link below.
