Dragon's Crown

Dragon's Crown Official Site

Were you wondering what that "Dragon's Crown" game that appeared in Sony's PlayStation Vita trailer yesterday was all about? The game's newly opened official site has some answers!

Dragon's Crown is a new 2D Action RPG from Vanillaware, the developer that's also working on PSP's Grand Knights History for Marvelous Entertainment. Ignition is handling the worldwide publishing on this one. The official site says that it's the second Japan-produced title from Ignition (the first was El Shaddai).

Although the game appeared in Sony's PS Vita trailer reel, the official site reveals it to be in development for both PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. The game will see release in Spring 2012 and features support for 1 to 4 players.

George Kamitani is directing the game. Ignition's Kashow Oda is serving as producer.

As detailed at the official site, Dragon's Crown offers "red-hot multiplayer 2D action." Up to four players can team up via online play to work through dungeons, clearing quests and progressing through the game's story.

The lets players build up their character as they collect items, treasure and weapons from the dungeons. You'll need to build up your character to face off agains the screen-filling dragons.

The official site isn't totally clear about this, but it seems that the game's PS3 and Vita version will have cross console play. The official site says "Up to four players work together via PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita."

I'll probably grab that for Vita. Looks like fun, especially if you've got friends to co-op with.
The Amazon creeped me out a bit...
Sorceress looks yummy ;D

Ditto, my friends definitely gonna get this, since he loved Odin Sphere. I'd get a PSVita for this game definitely, but I still need to save up for a PS3 ^^;
Yeah Amazon is...yea... Sorceress yummy indeed, its hilarious how much fan art has suddenly appeared of her.

I'm actually trying to sell my PS3 lol. Probably won't be able to pick this up or the Vita up until I can find a job. But I think it'll be worth it.

Definitely picking this one up. Loved Odin Sphere, wish I could play Muramasa and am planning to get Grand Knight's History.

Vanillaware is the king of 2D gaming. definitely getting the PS Vita just for this game =)

Cant wait to play this game. Day one buy. Fighter and Amazon look awesome.

[color=blue] If this has PSN for the PS3. I'm getting it for both that and the Vita that's for sure. I love games like this and I plan to main that Elf! Shoot a shet load of arrows and stuff![/color]

I can't wait to play this game. I played Odin Sphere and loved the art style. I'm also glad Vanillaware is still a firm believer in 2D gaming. I look forward to playing with friends online on PS3.

I plan on becoming a Elf for the LR attacks and support. I heard that the wizard was going to be OPed when compared the to
sorceress but that's just a rumor.

Nope, that's not the release date but more like an information reveal.

Please let it be a summer/fall release date announcement.

Can't wait for this. Vanillaware makes awesome games. The art they create makes me cum buckets.

I watched the trailer. Then it reminded me of how amazing Odin Sphere was.

It's making me want to go play it again to be honest. It was my 2nd favorite PS2 game of all time.

I never owned a copy of that game. It came out while I was in between jobs, so I borrowed a friends copy. Don't think I was able to finish it either since he wanted it back to play it some more. Ofc I loved the look of the game and that's enough reason for me to still want to get Dragon's Crown. Finally have a PS3 I am even more excited about this.

The game looks fun, always loved old school beat 'em ups like TMNT and the Simpsons! Amazing art and detail in the game and glad to see that we got a new trailer. Good to see the game is still in the works, can't wait for summer!
