Dragon’s Crown Confirmed for the PlayStation 3 and Vita

Ignition Games today announced at the E3 Convention in California that they will be releasing Dragon’s Crown for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita in 2012. This is the first VanillaWare title to be developed for high definition and will have a four player, co-op mode and realtime online gameplay.

Dragon’s Crown thrusts you into a fantastical medieval world packed with labyrinthine dungeons to explore, vile monstrosities to smite, and nearly endless online adventure. Your mission is to dive into the dank underworld, uncovering treasure and strengthening your mettle as you unlock the secret behind the ancient dragon threatening the world. Simple, easy-to-learn controls allow anyone to dive into the fray and enjoy the breathtaking sword-and-sorcery action. In addition to long-lasting gameplay, the game also features a vast array of character customization features – with six wildly different classes to play as, raiding the catacombs for epic loot remains fresh and engaging.

Dragon’s Crown really comes into it’s own with the online play where up to four players can join online for co-op missions and has the same fluid hand-drawn animation that has featured previously.

There’s no defined release date for Dragon’s Crown as of yet; however, 2012 is the year of release at the current time.
