Drakengard 3 announced for PS3, due in 2014

Square Enix has revealed that PlayStation 3-exclusive Drakengard 3 will be released in the U.S. and Europe in 2014.

This latest entry in the franchise acts as a prequel to the original Drakengard, and takes place in a medieval world. The story centers on the Intoners, six goddess sisters who wield the ability to manipulate magic through song and have used this power to bring about peace to earth.

It’s not all happy families though, as Zero, the eldest sibling, attempts to murder her sisters with the help of Mikhail, her dragon companion. Gamers will attempt to unravel Zero’s motivations as they battle across the land with an assortment of powers and weapons.

What’s more, 2013 marks the 10th anniversary of the series, with Drakengard 3 marking the first offering in seven years.

Drakengard 3 is due for release on PlayStation Network for $49.99 in 2014. Stay tuned to PSU.com for more details as we get them.
