As with the PS3 White Knight games, you can "transform" in Dogma Wars. You have a special stone which lets you transform into a form known as "Ren Force." This transformation makes the casting character take on the form that he feels ideal while also gaining "ikki tousen" level power.
The Ren Force is different from the giant knights that you transform into in the PS3 titles (you'll recall that in Dogma Wars, you're actually fighting against those knights). You'll find many different forms. Famitsu introduces the "Brave Form," which is colored red and black. It seems that male and female avatars will have different versions of the forms.
You get the special transformation stone from a mysterious girl named Anvietta during the game's story part. The story progression system in Dogma Wars is quest-based. After clearing a number of "regional quests," which are given to you by a variety of people, you'll encounter an "event quest," which is tied directly into the story.
Famitsu lists Dogma Wars with a general 2011 release time frame.
