New Dragon's Crown promotional trailer

Harkening back to the olden days of 2D sidescroller beat 'em ups like Princess Crown, Vanillaware's upcoming Dragon's Crown appears to finally set to be released this summer in Japan. To mark the announcement, they have released a brand new trailer that quite frankly is another jaw-dropping game in the visuals department. All that beautiful hand-drawn goodness really shows itself off very well for the company's first HD title. 

Dragon's Crown will be released in Japan on July 25th on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, and comes with a full-colored, limited edition artbook. There has been no announcement on when it will be released in the West, but Atlus has been saying since last year that it will be out around the same time. Time will tell what special goodies we will be receiving as well. Atlus has also revealed a new website for the game which you can check out here.
