Welcome to Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga, the third title in the Valhalla Knights series, and the first time the series has appeared on a home console – in this case it is coming to the Wii in the fall of this year.

Neocrisis: Continuing a bumper year of releases, Rising Star Games has confirmed Eldar Saga's 2010 release date as 17th September. The game will fill a niche in the current games climate by appealing to Wii owners who are interested in the RPG format.
