Koei Tecmo sent out two new videos for Hyrule Warriors Legends today. Watch some gameplay with producer Yosuke Hayashi and voice actress Ruriko Aoki below, along with a Japanese commercial.

Protect Me Knight 2 was confirmed for the west last February. It’s been nearly a year since then, though not much has been said regarding localization since then.

There is some good news to report though. Protect Me Knight 2 remains on track for the west, and a recent screenshot from Ancient even shows the game running in English. Hopefully it’s a sign that we’ll be seeing the game in North America and Europe soon.
