One of two new characters just announced earlier this afternoon, Boothe will be voicing ICA Agent Benjamin Travis. Additionally, Shannyn Sossamon, of A Knight's Tale and 40 days and 40 nights fame will be taking the role of Jade, Travis' secretary.

Both actors will not only be voicing their respective characters, but will also be doing motion and performance capture for them as well. Along with this announcement, Square/Enix has released two new videos; the first, an ICA files dossier on Benjamin Travis, the second, an interview with the actors regarding their respective characters, and role in the game.

The dynamic lighting in particular looks especially good; watch as random flashes of lightning illuminate otherwise dark areas of the library. The game is currently slated for release sometime next year and will be available for the Xbox 360, PC, and Playstation 3 platforms.

Square Enix announced the newest installment in the popular Dragon Quest Series, Dragon Quest X. The game is coming to the Wii in 2012 and the Wii U at an unannounced date. The Wii U version will be graphically superior, but players with both versions will be able to play together. Square Enix has only released one screenshot of the game, as of this writing:

The game will be an online RPG allowing both online and offline play. While offline players will be able to make allies with npcs to fill the roles that other players would normally occupy. The word massive was not used to describe the online play and any word on the scale of the multiplayer functions are just speculation. Players will create their own characters to use in this installment of Dragon Quest and players will be able to take on crafting jobs to create weapons and items for their players to use.
