Level-5's first full scale production was the action RPG ''[[Wikipedia:Dark Cloud|Dark Cloud]]'', developed under contract by [[Sony Computer Entertainment]] originally for the Japanese launch of the [[PlayStation 2]] in March 2000. However, it was delayed before the PS2 launch to allow further development, and eventually released in Japan on December 14, 2000, and elsewhere in 2001. The game was an immediate success for the company, selling just under a million units worldwide. Work immediately began on a pseudo-sequel titled ''[[Wikipedia:Dark Chronicle|Dark Chronicle]]'' (''Dark Cloud 2'' in North America), that, while not as successful as the first, still gained critical acclaim and sold over half a million units worldwide.
