This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine revealed the existence of Drag-On Dragoon 3, the third installment of the action-RPG series known as Drakengard in the U.S.

So far, the only details we have is that it’s a PS3 exclusive, that the protagonists are two sisters named Zero and One, and that there’s a mysterious “Singer” whose songs are powered by the blood of his/her enemies. .

The title is being developed by Access Games, makers of Deadly Premonition, along with veteran Cavia staff members (the developers behind the previous Drakengard games and Nier). Confirmed among them are producer Takamasa Shiba, director/writer Taro Yokoo, character designer Kimihiko Fujisaka, and music composer Keiichi Okabe. Reports indicate Drakengard 3 is slated for release in Japan sometime this year.

Chris Holzworth has wanted to report on and critique games all his life. He first cut his teeth writing for enthusiast sites such as RPGFan, then took a break from gaming to study English, creative writing, and linguistics at Rutgers University. Started out as EGM's obligatory east coast correspondent before selling out and moving to the west coast. Chris is particularly keen on examining narrative structure, character development, and writing in video games.
